Opportunity Summary:
The funding opportunity titled "National Park Service Archeological Site Condition Assessments for FMSS and Visitor Interpretation in new Boundaries and on Chacra Mesa" is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary grant action focused on natural resource stewardship, specifically archeological site condition assessments that support both facility/asset management needs and visitor interpretation. The work is tied to archeological resources located within newly established park boundaries as well as on Chacra Mesa, and it is intended to feed information into NPS systems and decision-making, including FMSS (the Facility Management Software System used by NPS to track and manage assets and related condition information). In practical terms, the project is aimed at documenting site conditions, identifying concerns and management needs, and generating information that can be used not only for preservation planning but also for communicating archeological significance to the public through interpretation.
This notice is not an open competition. It is explicitly a Notice of Intent (NOI) to make a single-source, noncompetitive award under the Department of the Interior policy referenced as DOI 505 DM 2.12C. The award will be made through a task agreement under the National Park Service Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), which is a cooperative framework NPS uses to partner with universities and other entities on research and technical assistance. The eligible applicant information confirms that this announcement is not requesting applications and that the intended recipient is the University of New Mexico, meaning other organizations are not being invited to apply for these funds through this posting.
Administratively, the funding instrument is a Cooperative Agreement, indicating the NPS anticipates substantial involvement in the work rather than simply issuing a grant with minimal federal participation. The opportunity lists a single expected award, with an estimated total funding amount of $93,815. No cost sharing or matching is required. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as $0, which typically reflects that the opportunity is not structured as a competitive program with variable award ranges, but rather as a pre-identified, single action where the total planned amount is provided separately. The opportunity was posted and created on August 5, 2010, with an original and current closing date of August 10, 2010, and it was archived on September 9, 2010.
