Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "National Park Service - Assess, Stabilize and Repair Cultural Resources Impacted by Border Activities, Part 4 - Levys Store at Victoria Historic Mining District" is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding action designed to support work on cultural resources that have been affected by border-related activities. The specific focus of this Part 4 effort is "Levys Store" within the Victoria Historic Mining District, indicating the project is tied to a particular historic structure or site component where assessment, stabilization, and repair work is needed to reduce damage, prevent further deterioration, and preserve the resource for the future. The funding activity category is listed as Natural Resources, which in NPS grant listings often includes cultural resource stewardship work when it relates to preserving resources within the National Park System.
This opportunity is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project rather than simply issuing a pass-through grant with minimal federal participation. The award is intended to be made through a task agreement under the National Park Service Desert Southwest Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). CESUs are partnerships that allow federal agencies to collaborate with universities and other partners for research, technical assistance, and resource management projects. In practical terms, this signals that the work will be carried out under an established cooperative framework and likely involves coordinated planning, shared technical oversight, and joint participation between NPS and the recipient institution.
Importantly, this notice is not a standard competitive grant solicitation. The announcement explicitly states it is not a request for applications and functions instead as a notice of intent to make a noncompetitive, single-source award. The noncompetitive approach is justified under Department of the Interior policy, specifically cited as 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C, which provides the internal authority and conditions under which DOI components may proceed with a sole-source assistance award. Consistent with that approach, the eligible applicant field effectively narrows to a predetermined recipient: the University of Arizona. While the listing shows "Others" under eligible applicants, the eligibility narrative clarifies that the award is single source and tied to that institution, so other organizations are not being invited to apply.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is identified by Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIR8660110913 and is associated with CFDA number 15.945, Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System. The expected number of awards is one, with an estimated total funding amount of $34,023. The listing indicates no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is not expected to provide a formal non-federal match as a condition of the award. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as zero, which is common in postings that serve primarily as notices for a pre-arranged award rather than a competed funding round with defined minimum and maximum request levels.
The timeline reflects the notice nature and the fact that it is not seeking proposals from the public. The posting date and creation date are June 28, 2011, with an original and current closing date of July 2, 2011, and an archive date of August 1, 2011. Those short windows are typical when the federal agency is posting a required public notice for transparency while proceeding with a sole-source award. Anyone needing the full announcement or encountering access issues is directed to contact the agreements specialist listed in the notice, Jenny Sommer, at 303-969-2392, which is consistent with a posting that is primarily informational and administrative rather than applicant-driven.
In short, this funding notice documents NPS intent to issue a single, noncompetitive cooperative agreement task agreement under the Desert Southwest CESU to the University of Arizona, totaling about $34,023, to support assessment, stabilization, and repair work on cultural resources at Levys Store in the Victoria Historic Mining District that have been impacted by border activities.
