Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service funding opportunity titled "National Park Service Catalog Southwest Regional Office Central Files" (Funding Opportunity Number R8100110249) is a discretionary, natural-resources focused cooperative agreement that the agency intended to award as a single task agreement under the National Park Service Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). The notice functions primarily as a formal announcement of intent rather than an open solicitation, meaning it was not designed to invite or compete proposals from the broader public. Instead, it explicitly describes a noncompetitive action being carried out under Department of the Interior policy (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C), which is the internal authority used for certain justified single-source or limited-competition assistance awards.
The opportunity was posted and created on June 2, 2011, with an original and current closing date of June 6, 2011, and it was later archived on July 6, 2011. The expected number of awards was one, and the estimated total funding amount was $124,986. The listing shows no stated award ceiling or floor (both listed as $0), which typically indicates the program notice is not structured as a standard competitive range announcement and that the actual award amount is governed by the specific task agreement and supporting documentation rather than a public funding range. Cost sharing or matching was not required.
Eligibility is effectively limited because the announcement states it is not a request for applications and that the award is a single-source action to the University of Arizona. While the general eligibility field references "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," the controlling eligibility statement makes clear that outside entities were not being invited to apply. The associated CFDA number is 15.945, covering Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System, which aligns with CESU-style agreements that commonly support research, technical assistance, and applied science products for park management and stewardship needs.
For those needing access to the full announcement materials, the listed point of contact was Jenny Sommer, Agreements Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-969-2392, with the note that assistance would be provided if there were difficulties accessing the announcement electronically.
