Opportunity Summary:

The National Park Service grant opportunity titled "National Park Service Catalog Natural History Archives for Capitol Reef National Park" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIJ8100100262) is a discretionary funding notice describing the Park Service's intent to make a cooperative agreement award connected to natural resources work. The project focus is the cataloging of natural history archives associated with Capitol Reef National Park, which typically involves organizing, describing, and standardizing records so they can be properly managed, accessed, and used for research and park decision-making. The announcement is tied to the National Park Service Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), meaning it is structured as a task agreement under that established cooperative network, which supports collaboration among federal agencies and partner institutions on science and resource stewardship projects.

This notice is not an open competition and is explicitly not a request for applications. Instead, it is a notice of intent for a single-source, noncompetitive award made under Department of the Interior policy (cited as DOI 505 DM 2.12C). The eligible recipient identified in the announcement is the University of Arizona, indicating the National Park Service has already selected this institution as the partner for the work. Because it is a noncompetitive action under the CESU framework, the posting functions primarily as public transparency about the planned award rather than an invitation for other organizations to apply.

Financially, the opportunity lists an estimated total funding amount of $27,095, with no cost sharing or matching requirement. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as $0, which is common in older federal postings when the exact obligated amount is handled through the task agreement rather than reflected as a typical competitive funding range in the notice. The opportunity was posted and created on July 13, 2010, with an original and current closing date of July 18, 2010, and an archive date of August 17, 2010. The listing shows "ExpectedAwards: 0," which aligns with the fact that this is a notice of intent for a single-source action rather than a competitive grant cycle where multiple awards are anticipated.

For administrative or access questions, the point of contact is Jenny Sommer, Agreements Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-969-2392, particularly for anyone who had difficulty accessing the full announcement electronically.
