Opportunity Summary:

The National Park Service Catalog Archives for Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIJ8100100249) is a discretionary funding action by the National Park Service that was posted on July 13, 2010. It is framed as a notice of intent rather than an open call for proposals, meaning it is not designed to solicit applications from the general public or a broad pool of institutions. Instead, it signals the government agency's plan to make a specific award through an established partnership mechanism.

The intended funding mechanism is a cooperative agreement, and the activity area is listed under Natural Resources. The award is to be issued as a task agreement under the National Park Service Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). In practice, that points to a structured collaboration model commonly used by DOI agencies to partner with universities and other research institutions for project work that benefits public land and resource management. The notice also states the award is noncompetitive and is being made in accordance with DOI policy referenced as 505 DM 2.12C, which is the agency's internal authority for certain single-source or limited competition actions when justified.

A key point in the eligibility information is that this announcement is explicitly not a request for applications. While the general eligibility line in the source data lists "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," the narrative clarifies that this is a single-source award to the University of Arizona. As a result, other entities should not expect to compete for this funding through this notice, and there is no traditional application process implied for external parties.

The estimated total funding amount associated with the action is $58,656. The listing indicates no cost sharing or matching requirement. At the same time, the entry shows an award ceiling and floor of $0 and an expected awards count of 0, which typically reflects how certain notices of intent and administrative postings appear in grants portals rather than suggesting that no funds will actually be awarded. The practical takeaway is that the government is announcing its intention to obligate approximately $58,656 through a CESU task agreement to support cataloging archives connected to Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument.

The timeline in the public listing is short: it was posted and created on July 13, 2010, with an original and current closing date of July 18, 2010, and it was archived on August 17, 2010. For notices of intent that are not solicitations, the "closing date" often functions more like a posting window rather than a deadline for proposals, since no competing applications are being accepted.

For anyone who needs access to the full announcement details but cannot retrieve them electronically, the contact listed is Jenny Sommer, Agreements Specialist, at 303-969-2392.
