Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service funding opportunity titled "Archaeological Data Recovery and Analysis at Two Roasting Pit Sties in Grand Canyon National Park" is a discretionary cooperative agreement action focused on natural resources and cultural resource research. The project is centered on archaeological work at two roasting pit sites within Grand Canyon National Park, with an emphasis on data recovery and analysis, which typically means controlled excavation or collection of remaining site information, documentation, and subsequent lab-based study to interpret what the sites can reveal about past human activity in the park.
This notice is not a traditional, open competition grant. Instead, it is a Notice of Intent to make a noncompetitive, single-source award under the National Park Service Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). The announcement cites DOI policy authority (505 DM 2.12C) as the basis for proceeding without competition, which generally reflects circumstances where a specific institution is uniquely qualified, already designated within an approved cooperative framework, or otherwise justified under departmental guidance. In practical terms, that means the National Park Service planned to issue a task agreement under the CESU mechanism rather than solicit proposals from multiple applicants.
The intended recipient is explicitly identified: the Museum of Northern Arizona. The eligibility field reinforces that this posting is not a request for applications and that no other applicants are being sought through this announcement. While the posting lists "Eligible Applicants: Others," the accompanying clarification makes clear that the award is directed to a single organization rather than a broad pool of eligible entities.
Key administrative details show the posting was issued on August 19, 2010, with a closing date of August 24, 2010, and later archived on September 23, 2010. The estimated total funding amount is $26,636. The notice indicates no cost sharing or matching requirement, and it lists expected awards as 0, which is consistent with how some noncompetitive notices are recorded in federal systems even though a single task agreement is intended. The award floor and ceiling are both listed as 0, another common artifact of how internal or task-agreement style actions are entered, where the detailed financial terms may be provided in the attached announcement or in the subsequent task agreement documentation rather than in the synopsis fields.
For anyone needing access to the full announcement or experiencing issues retrieving it electronically, the notice provides a point of contact at the National Park Service: Jenny Sommer, Agreements Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-969-2392.
