Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service funding opportunity titled "National Park Service Archeological Condition Assessment and Photography at 35 Navajo (Dine) Sites in Wupatki National Monument" is a discretionary grant action intended to support cultural and natural resource stewardship work at Wupatki National Monument. The project focus is narrowly defined: conducting archeological condition assessments and producing photographic documentation at 35 Navajo (Dine) sites within the monument. In practical terms, this kind of work typically involves visiting each identified site, recording its current physical condition in a standardized way, documenting any visible impacts or threats (such as erosion, vandalism, visitor impacts, animal activity, or weathering), and generating a consistent photo record that can be used for long-term monitoring and management decisions.
This announcement is not an open competition and is explicitly described as a notice of intent to make a noncompetitive award under Department of the Interior policy (cited as DOI 505 DM 2.12C). Rather than soliciting proposals from the public, the National Park Service planned to issue a task agreement under the Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). CESUs are cooperative partnerships commonly used by federal agencies to carry out research, technical assistance, and resource management projects with partner institutions, often universities or other research organizations. Here, the award vehicle is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates that the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the project compared with a standard grant, such as coordinating methods, reviewing deliverables, or participating in planning and fieldwork oversight.
Eligibility is therefore limited by design. The notice states that it is a single-source award to Northern Arizona University, meaning other applicants were not being invited to apply and no competitive selection was planned. The listing reflects this by noting that the announcement is "not a request for applications" and by setting the expected awards field to 0, which is common in systems that post a public notice even when an award is already intended for a specific recipient. The opportunity is categorized under Natural Resources and labeled "Not Elsewhere Classified" under CFDA numbers (shown as 00.000), reinforcing that this is an administrative notice tied to a specific task agreement rather than a broad program competition.
The estimated total funding amount shown is $63,805. No cost sharing or matching requirement is indicated, so the recipient would not be required to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of the award, at least as represented in the summary data. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as 0, which often occurs in notices of intent or postings where the agency is not using the portal fields to define competitive range amounts, especially when the funding amount is already determined through internal planning for a single-source agreement.
Key dates reflect a short public posting window consistent with a notice-of-intent format. The opportunity was posted and created on August 3, 2010, with an original and current closing date of August 8, 2010, and an archive date of September 7, 2010. Those dates should not be read as an application deadline in the normal sense, since the announcement explicitly states it is not seeking applications; instead, they function more like an administrative timeline for how long the notice was displayed publicly before being archived.
For assistance accessing the full announcement, the contact listed is Jenny Sommer, Agreements Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-969-2392. This contact detail is primarily meant to help interested parties obtain the attached announcement documentation, which would typically contain the project scope, anticipated deliverables (for example, condition assessment forms, site-by-site photo sets, a summary report, data management expectations, and possible GIS or database entries), coordination requirements with NPS staff, and any cultural resource compliance or confidentiality requirements associated with documenting sensitive archeological locations.
