Opportunity Summary:
The funding opportunity titled "National Park Service Archeological Site Investigations, 2014-2017" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS-NOIP14AC01067) is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding action that was posted on June 26, 2014 and scheduled to close on June 30, 2014, with an archive date of July 30, 2014. It is categorized under Natural Resources and is connected to CFDA 15.945, which covers Cooperative Research and Training Programs and activities related to the resources of the National Park System. The listed funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, meaning the NPS expected to have substantial involvement in the project rather than simply issuing a grant with minimal federal participation.
This announcement is not a request for applications and is not structured as a competitive grant opportunity. Instead, it is a notice of intent to make a single-source, noncompetitive award, issued under the Department of the Interior policy framework cited as 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C. In practice, that kind of language signals that the agency has already identified the intended recipient and is publicly documenting its intent to proceed without soliciting proposals from other organizations. The expected number of awards is one, and the eligible applicant field points to "Others" with clarification provided in the eligibility text: the award is specifically intended for the University of New Mexico. Because it is a single-source action, other applicants were not being invited to apply.
The work is to be executed as a task agreement under the National Park Service Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). CESUs are partnership-based networks that allow federal agencies to collaborate with universities and other partners on research, technical assistance, and educational projects. In this context, the task agreement mechanism suggests the NPS planned to support archeological site investigations over the 2014-2017 period through a defined scope of work managed within the CESU framework, typically involving coordination between NPS staff and the partner institution on planning, implementation, and deliverables.
The estimated total funding amount listed for the action is $73,170, and the posting indicates no cost sharing or matching requirement. The award floor and ceiling are both listed as $0, which commonly occurs in notices of intent or records where the system fields are not used to define a competitive range; the meaningful figure for planning purposes is the estimated total funding provided in the synopsis.
For further details beyond the synopsis, the notice directs readers to the attached announcement and provides a point of contact for access issues: Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-969-2303.
