Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service Architectural Condition Assessments opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP12AC10845) is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding action intended to support architectural condition assessments tied to resources within the National Park System. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement under the Natural Resources activity category, and it is associated with CFDA 15.945, which covers Cooperative Research and Training Programs related to resources of the National Park System. In practical terms, this type of award is used when the NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project as it is carried out, such as coordinating technical direction, aligning methods with NPS standards, or integrating the results into NPS planning and stewardship activities.
This posting is explicitly a notice of intent rather than a competitive grant solicitation. It is not a request for applications and does not invite proposals from the general public. Instead, it announces the NPS plan to make a single-source, noncompetitive award under the National Park Service Desert Southwest Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). The notice cites Department of the Interior policy (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C) as the basis for using a noncompetitive approach. The announcement also specifies that the intended recipient is the University of Arizona, meaning eligibility is effectively limited to that institution for this specific action, even though the general eligibility field is labeled broadly as "Others" with clarification provided in the narrative.
The opportunity anticipated one award with an estimated total funding amount of $35,130. The listing shows no cost sharing or matching requirement. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as $0, which typically indicates that the posting is serving as an administrative notice rather than advertising a competitive funding range. Key dates indicate the notice was posted and created on July 12, 2013, with an original and current closing date of July 17, 2013, and an archive date of August 16, 2013. These short windows are consistent with an intent notice for a pre-identified partner rather than a competitive cycle requiring time for proposal development and review.
For additional details beyond the summary text, the announcement directs readers to an attached document (not included in the source data provided here). Anyone unable to access the full announcement electronically was instructed to contact Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, at 303-969-2392.
