Opportunity Summary:
The funding opportunity titled "National Park Service Complete NAGPRA Summary Lists" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP15AC00329) is a National Park Service discretionary funding action that will be carried out through a cooperative agreement under the Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). The work is categorized under Natural Resources and is tied to CFDA 15.945, which covers Cooperative Research and Training Programs related to resources of the National Park System. The stated purpose is to support completion of NAGPRA summary lists, referring to work associated with the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), which requires federal agencies and institutions that receive federal funding to document certain cultural items and communicate that information to potentially affiliated tribes and Native Hawaiian organizations.
This posting is not an open, competitive grant solicitation. Instead, it is a formal notice of intent to make a single, noncompetitive award, specifically under the Department of the Interior policy cited as 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C. In practical terms, that means the agency has already identified the recipient and is announcing its intent to proceed using an authorized exception to competition. The announcement explicitly states that it is a single-source award to Archaeology Southwest, and the "Eligible Applicants" field reflects this by directing readers to additional eligibility information rather than inviting general applications. Because of that structure, the short posting window (posted March 19, 2015 with a closing date of March 23, 2015) functions more as an administrative timeline for the notice rather than a period for submitting proposals from the public.
Financially, the opportunity lists an estimated total funding amount of $39,459 and anticipates one award. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The listing shows an award ceiling and floor of $0, which commonly appears in notices that are not requesting applications or where the funding amount is handled through internal agreement documentation rather than through a public range in the announcement itself. The opportunity was archived on April 22, 2015, indicating it is no longer active.
Administratively, the NPS indicates the award will be made via a task agreement under the CESU framework. CESUs are cooperative partnerships used by federal agencies to obtain research, technical assistance, and educational services from partner institutions and organizations, often to support resource stewardship and science-based management. A task agreement is the mechanism used to define the scope of work, deliverables, budget, and period of performance for the specific project under that broader cooperative structure.
