Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "National Park Service Catalog Rocky Mountain Region Legislative Records" (Funding Opportunity Number: NPD NOIR8100110279) is a National Park Service discretionary funding action structured as a cooperative agreement under CFDA 15.945, which covers Cooperative Research and Training Programs related to Resources of the National Park System. The stated purpose is to support work to catalog legislative records associated with the National Park Service Rocky Mountain Region, which typically involves organizing, describing, and improving access to historical and administrative documentation that supports park establishment, boundary changes, resource protection authorities, and other legal or policy actions. While the short public description does not list specific tasks, the title and activity category (Natural Resources) indicate an emphasis on records management and research support that helps the agency understand and use its legislative history in day-to-day stewardship and planning.
This notice is not a competitive solicitation and it is explicitly not a request for applications. Instead, it is a notice of intent to make a single-source, noncompetitive award to the University of Arizona through the National Park Service Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). CESUs are partnership networks used by federal agencies to collaborate with universities and other partners on research, technical assistance, and education; in practice, they often operate through task agreements issued under a larger cooperative framework. The announcement cites Department of the Interior policy (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C) as the justification for proceeding noncompetitively, which signals that the agency has already identified the intended recipient and rationale for selecting that entity without open competition.
The opportunity anticipated one award with an estimated total funding amount of $46,069. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, and both the award ceiling and floor were listed as $0, which generally reflects that a precise ceiling/floor was not set in the system fields even though an estimated total funding amount was provided. The posting date and creation date were June 29, 2011, with an original and current closing date of July 3, 2011, and an archive date of August 2, 2011. The very short open period is consistent with a notice-of-intent posting for transparency rather than a window meant for competing proposals.
Eligibility is effectively restricted despite the general "Others" category shown in the system, because the eligibility note clarifies the action is a single-source award to the University of Arizona. For anyone seeking more detail, the announcement indicates additional information was contained in an attached document, and it provides a direct agency contact for access issues: Jenny Sommer, Agreements Specialist, phone 303-969-2392.
