Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS) grant opportunity titled "National Park Service Complete Multiple Property Document and Determination of Eligibility for Backcountry Trails" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP14AC00925) is a discretionary funding action structured as a cooperative agreement. It was posted on June 13, 2014, with an original and final closing date of June 17, 2014, and it was archived on July 17, 2014. The total estimated funding amount for this action is $50,000, with no stated award ceiling or floor, and the NPS expected to make a single award.
This notice is not a competitive solicitation and is explicitly not a request for applications. Instead, it functions as a notice of intent to make a noncompetitive, single-source award to the University of Wyoming. The award is to be issued through a task agreement under the National Park Service Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), a partnership framework the NPS uses to support cooperative research, technical assistance, and related training activities. The noncompetitive approach is justified under Department of the Interior policy cited as 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C, indicating the agency is relying on an established authority for awarding without open competition in this context.
The opportunity falls under the Natural Resources funding activity category and is associated with CFDA number 15.945, which corresponds to Cooperative Research and Training Programs related to resources of the National Park System. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is not required to contribute additional non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.
In practical terms, the funded work is described as completing a Multiple Property Document (MPD) and producing Determinations of Eligibility (DOE) for backcountry trails. An MPD is a National Register of Historic Places documentation tool used to establish a historic context and standardized registration requirements for evaluating groups of related historic properties. A determination of eligibility is the process and resulting documentation used to assess whether specific resources meet National Register criteria, often to support cultural resource compliance needs and long-term management planning. Here, the focus is on backcountry trails, suggesting the project is intended to help the NPS evaluate trail resources for potential historic significance and to formalize the criteria and context needed for consistent evaluation across multiple sites or trail segments.
