Opportunity Summary:
The Historic Resource Study FY12 Funding Supplement for Research, Research Synthesis, Writing and Completion (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIR1510120239) was a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding action issued as a cooperative agreement under the Desert Southwest Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). It fell under the funding activity category of Natural Resources and was tied to CFDA 15.945, Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System. The purpose of the action, as indicated by the title and description, was to support the research, synthesis of existing research, writing, and completion work associated with a historic resource study, meaning a structured historical documentation effort intended to inform NPS understanding and management of park-related resources.
This announcement was not a standard competitive grant solicitation. Instead, it functioned as a notice of intent to make a noncompetitive, single-source award, citing the Department of the Interior policy basis at 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C. In practical terms, that means the NPS had already identified the intended recipient and was publicly posting the notice to document the intent to award without opening the opportunity for general competition. The eligible applicant field reflects this by pointing to "Others" and clarifying in the eligibility narrative that it was not a request for applications.
The intended and sole recipient identified in the eligibility information was the Organization of American Historians. Only one award was expected. The estimated total funding amount for the action was $35,250, and there was no cost sharing or matching requirement. The listing showed award ceiling and floor as $0, which commonly appears in postings where a fixed amount is anticipated or where the platform fields were not used to express a specific ceiling/floor structure, even though an estimated total amount was provided.
Key dates show the opportunity was posted and created on May 29, 2012, with an original and current closing date of June 4, 2012, and an archive date of July 4, 2012. The short window between posting and closing is consistent with a notice-of-intent or single-source posting where the agency is not seeking new applicants but is meeting procedural transparency requirements.
