Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service Archaeological Overview (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP13AC00579) is a discretionary funding action issued by the National Park Service (NPS) under a cooperative agreement, categorized under Natural Resources. It was posted on June 13, 2013, with a closing date of June 18, 2013, and later archived on July 18, 2013. The total estimated funding for the action is $30,798. The listing references CFDA 15.945, which covers Cooperative Research and Training Programs related to resources of the National Park System. No cost sharing or matching funds are required.
This notice is not a typical open grant competition. Instead, it is a notice of intent to make a noncompetitive, single-source award. The announcement explicitly states that it is not a request for applications and that the intended recipient is New Mexico State University. In practical terms, that means the awardee has already been identified, and the posting functions primarily as a public notice and documentation of the planned funding action rather than an invitation for other organizations to apply.
The work will be carried out through a task agreement under the National Park Service Desert Southwest Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). CESUs are collaborative partnerships used by federal agencies to conduct research, technical assistance, and education with partner institutions. Here, the NPS is using that established CESU mechanism to support an archaeological overview effort tied to National Park System resources, which typically involves compiling and synthesizing existing archaeological information, identifying knowledge gaps, and supporting resource management planning and compliance needs.
The justification for making a noncompetitive award is cited as consistent with Department of the Interior policy, specifically 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C. While the notice does not provide the full rationale in the text you provided, the reference indicates the NPS is relying on an allowed exception to competition under DOI financial assistance rules, which commonly applies in cases such as uniquely qualified recipients, continuity of ongoing work, or other circumstances recognized by departmental policy.
