Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS) announced an intended, noncompetitive cooperative agreement titled "Moose Exhibit Site 48YE201 Archeological Data Recovery, Yellowstone NP, WY Phase I, Excavations." The project is tied to archeological data recovery work at the Moose Exhibit site (site number 48YE201) in Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, and specifically covers Phase I excavation activities. The opportunity sits within the Natural Resources funding activity category and is being executed under the National Park Service Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), meaning the work is structured as a collaborative research and technical assistance effort rather than a typical open competition grant.
This posting is not an open solicitation and is explicitly described as a notice of intent to make a single-source award. In practical terms, that means the NPS is signaling ahead of time that it plans to issue one task agreement under an existing CESU framework, and it is not requesting or accepting applications from the public. The agency cites DOI policy authority (505 DM 2.12C) as the basis for proceeding noncompetitively. The only expected award is one, and the named recipient is the University of Wyoming.
Financially, the estimated total funding amount for the task agreement is $140,000. The announcement lists no award ceiling or floor (both are shown as zero), which commonly indicates that the funding amount is governed by the associated task agreement budget rather than a range stated in the general posting. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is not expected to provide non-federal match as a condition of the award.
Key administrative details show the opportunity was posted on June 15, 2011, with an original and current closing date of June 20, 2011, and an archive date of July 20, 2011. Because it is a notice of intent rather than a request for applications, these dates function more as a public notice window than a true application deadline. The funding opportunity number is NPS NOIR1580110263. The CFDA listing associated with the award is 15.945, described as "Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System," which aligns with CESU-style cooperative research agreements supporting NPS resource stewardship and science needs.
