Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS) funding opportunity titled "Inventory and Condition Assessment of Historic Structures for the List of Classified Structures" is a discretionary cooperative agreement action focused on natural resource and cultural resource stewardship within the National Park System. The purpose of the effort is to support an inventory and condition assessment of historic structures so they can be properly documented and updated in the NPS List of Classified Structures (LCS), which is the agency's formal inventory used to track historic assets, their characteristics, and their physical condition for long-term management, preservation planning, and compliance needs.
This notice is not being released as an open competition. Instead, it is a notice of intent to make a single-source, noncompetitive award under the National Park Service's Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). The announcement explicitly cites the Department of the Interior's policy authority for noncompetitive actions (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C), meaning the NPS has determined that a sole recipient is appropriate under the applicable departmental justification criteria. In practical terms, that means the agency is signaling ahead of time that it plans to issue a task agreement under the CESU mechanism rather than solicit proposals from multiple applicants.
The only intended recipient identified in the opportunity is the University of New Mexico, and the eligibility language clarifies that the posting is not a request for applications. The program listing associated with the opportunity is CFDA 15.945, Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System, which is commonly used for partnerships that blend applied research, technical services, and training in support of park resource management. No cost sharing or matching is required, which indicates the NPS planned to fund the work without requiring the recipient to contribute non-federal matching funds.
The anticipated award profile is straightforward: the NPS expected to make one award with an estimated total funding amount of $90,294. The listing shows an award ceiling and floor of $0, which typically reflects that the specific amount is handled through the associated task agreement and internal documentation rather than being expressed as a competitive range in the public-facing synopsis. The funding instrument type is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates that NPS expected substantial involvement in the work (such as coordination, technical direction, review, or collaboration) compared to a standard grant.
Timing information shows this was a short-fuse posting: it was posted and created on June 21, 2012, with an original and current closing date of June 26, 2012, and an archive date of July 26, 2012. That compressed window is consistent with a notice-of-intent announcement for a noncompetitive award, where the "closing date" is not meant to collect proposals but rather to keep the notice publicly available for a defined period for transparency.
For anyone needing access to the full announcement materials, the contact listed is Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-969-2392, with a note that assistance is available if there are issues accessing the announcement electronically.
