Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS), part of the U.S. Department of the Interior, posted a Notice of Intent to Award funding for a project titled "Historic Resource Study of Vancouver Barracks at Fort Vancouver National Historic Site." This notice is strictly a public announcement of the agency's plan to make an award and is not a request for applications or proposals. In other words, there is no open competition associated with this posting, no application package to submit, and no deadline for applicants, because the NPS already identified the intended recipient through an existing cooperative framework.
The funding is being issued as a cooperative agreement under Funding Opportunity Number P15AS00322. The work will be carried out through Task Agreement P15AC01564, which falls under an existing Cooperative Agreement (H8W07110001) with Portland State University. Portland State University is identified as a partner within the Pacific Northwest Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit, which is a collaborative network commonly used by federal agencies to engage universities and other partners for research, technical studies, and related support. The activity category is listed under Humanities, with a specific emphasis on Cultural Resources (noted as Cultural Affairs in the CFDA context), signaling that the project focuses on historical documentation, interpretation, and preservation-related research rather than construction or general operational support.
The notice indicates the NPS expects to make a single award with a total value of $77,188. The award ceiling and floor are both set at $77,188, meaning the funding amount is fixed rather than a range. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is not expected to provide a financial match as a condition of the award. Eligibility is described broadly as "Public and State controlled institutions of higher education," but in practice this specific posting is tied to the non-competitive intent to fund Portland State University through the established cooperative unit partnership rather than invite additional eligible institutions to apply.
The opportunity is associated with CFDA number 15.945, which covers Cooperative Research and Training Programs related to resources of the National Park System. The posting date and creation date are both August 21, 2015, and it was archived on August 31, 2015, reinforcing that it functioned as a time-limited public notice rather than an open funding competition. Anyone needing access help or more information is directed to the listed NPS contact: William Nash, Contract Specialist, reachable by phone at 415-623-2262 or by email at WilliamNash@nps.gov.
