Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service funding opportunity titled "Complete Archaeological Overview and Assessment for Petrified Forest National Park" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIJ8430118001) is a discretionary, natural-resources-related cooperative agreement intended to support an archaeological overview and assessment for Petrified Forest National Park. The award is structured as a task agreement issued under the National Park Service Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), which is a cooperative framework the NPS uses to partner with specific research and technical organizations for projects that support resource management and science needs.
This notice is explicitly a notice of intent rather than an open competition. It is described as a noncompetitive, single-source award issued in accordance with Department of the Interior policy (DOI 505 DM 2.12C). In practical terms, that means the NPS is not soliciting applications from the general public and is not running a typical competitive grant process for this project. The posting serves primarily as a transparency and documentation step indicating the agency plans to make an award through the CESU mechanism.
The opportunity anticipates one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $30,000. No cost sharing or matching funds are required. The listing shows no specific award ceiling or floor (both are recorded as $0), which generally indicates the agency did not publish formal minimum or maximum award limits in the public synopsis even though an estimated total value is provided.
Eligibility is listed in a limited way because this is not a request for applications. The announcement states that the intended recipient is the Center for Desert Archaeology as the single-source awardee. The "Eligible Applicants" field is therefore not meant to invite broader submissions; instead it reflects that eligibility is constrained to the identified organization under the CESU arrangement and the agency's noncompetitive justification.
Key dates show the posting date and creation date as December 6, 2010, with an original and current closing date of December 10, 2010, and an archive date of January 9, 2011. Those dates align with the idea that this was a short public notice window rather than an application period. Anyone needing the complete announcement or having trouble accessing it electronically was directed to contact Jenny Sommer, Agreements Specialist, at 303-969-2392.
Overall, the announcement describes a targeted NPS cooperative agreement for an archaeological assessment at Petrified Forest National Park, issued through the Colorado Plateau CESU, funded at roughly $30,000, and awarded noncompetitively as a single-source task agreement to the Center for Desert Archaeology rather than through an open call for proposals.
