Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service CCM Stabilize Historic Mining Structures opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP14AC00894) is a National Park Service discretionary funding action designed to support work related to natural resources and the resources of the National Park System, specifically focused on stabilizing historic mining structures. The award is being made through a cooperative agreement, which generally means the National Park Service expects to be substantially involved in the project during performance (for example, coordinating technical direction, reviewing deliverables, or collaborating on implementation). The opportunity falls under CFDA 15.945, Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System, which is commonly used for projects that help parks protect, study, and manage cultural and natural resources.
This posting is a notice of intent rather than an open competition. It states that the National Park Service plans to issue a task agreement under the Desert Southwest Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). CESUs are partnership networks used by federal agencies to collaborate with eligible partner organizations on research, technical assistance, education, and resource-management projects. In this case, the notice specifies the award will be noncompetitive and cites the Department of the Interior policy authority at 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C, indicating the agency is proceeding with a justified exception to competition (typically because the work is being directed through a qualified partner mechanism or because a specific partner is being selected under established program rules). As a result, this posting functions more as public documentation of the government’s intent to make a particular award than as a request inviting multiple applicants to submit proposals.
The funding profile indicates an estimated total funding amount of $75,700, with an expected number of awards listed as one. Both the award ceiling and floor are shown as $0 in the system data, which is a common placeholder in certain federal postings and does not necessarily mean the project has no budget; the estimated total funding figure is the meaningful number provided here. Cost sharing or matching is not required, which means the recipient is not obligated to contribute non-federal funds or in-kind match as a condition of the award.
Eligibility is listed as nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education). Because the action is noncompetitive and tied to a CESU task agreement, this eligibility field should be read in context: the practical pool of potential recipients is typically limited to organizations that are already eligible participants within the relevant CESU framework and that align with the specific partner the agency intends to select. The posting dates also reinforce the notice-of-intent nature: it was posted June 10, 2014, with a very short window to the original and current closing date of June 14, 2014, and an archive date of July 14, 2014.
For anyone needing the full announcement but unable to access it electronically, the listed point of contact is Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, at 303-969-2303. The announcement notes that additional details are contained in an attachment, which would typically include the background and objectives of the stabilization work, the location or park unit involved, anticipated tasks and deliverables, and administrative requirements for the cooperative agreement and CESU task agreement process.
