Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service Complete Redwood Historic Resource Study opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP15AC00404) is a National Park Service notice of intent to make a single, noncompetitive cooperative agreement award to complete a historic resource study focused on Redwood-related National Park Service resources. It is issued under the National Park Service Desert Southwest Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), which is a cooperative framework the NPS uses to partner with designated organizations for research, technical assistance, and training that support park management and stewardship.
This posting is classified as a discretionary funding opportunity using a Cooperative Agreement as the funding instrument, and it falls under the Natural Resources activity category. Even though the work is described in grant-opportunity format, it is explicitly not a request for applications and is not open competition. Instead, the NPS states that it intends to award this as a single-source action in accordance with Department of the Interior policy (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C), which covers circumstances where noncompetitive awards are justified. The announcement identifies the intended recipient as the Organization of American Historians, meaning the NPS had already selected this partner based on programmatic reasons tied to expertise and/or existing CESU arrangements.
The announcement lists one expected award with an estimated total funding amount of $66,035. No cost sharing or matching funds are required. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as $0, which typically indicates that the system fields were not used to set a competitive range because the action is a predetermined, single-source task agreement rather than an open solicitation. The CFDA number provided is 15.945, covering Cooperative Research and Training Programs related to Resources of the National Park System, which aligns with producing studies and research products that inform park interpretation, preservation, and management.
Key dates show the opportunity was posted and created on April 2, 2015, with an original and current closing date of April 6, 2015, and an archive date of May 6, 2015. Given the noncompetitive nature, the short open period functions more as a public notice and administrative requirement than a true application window. For access issues or questions about the announcement materials, the listed point of contact is Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, at 303-969-2303.
