Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service Condition Assessment and Treatment Planning for Montezuma Castle, Phase II (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP14AC00777) is a National Park Service discretionary funding action that will be issued as a cooperative agreement under the Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). The effort is positioned within the Natural Resources activity area and ties to CFDA 15.945, which covers cooperative research and training programs related to resources of the National Park System. In practical terms, the project is meant to support continued technical work connected to assessing the condition of resources at Montezuma Castle and developing treatment planning recommendations as a second phase of an ongoing effort.
This notice is not a competitive grant solicitation and it is not inviting applications from the broader public. Instead, it is a notice of intent to make a noncompetitive, single-source award, justified under the Department of the Interior policy referenced as 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C. The announcement explicitly states that the intended recipient is the University of New Mexico, meaning the NPS has already identified the partner organization for this phase and is proceeding through the required public notice steps rather than running an open competition.
The funding profile is relatively small and targeted: the estimated total funding amount is $28,420, with no stated award ceiling or floor (both listed as zero, which commonly indicates that a fixed ceiling/floor was not defined in the summary fields rather than implying no limit in reality). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is not expected to provide a required non-federal match as a condition of the award. Only one award is anticipated.
Timing for the posting shows this was a short administrative window rather than an application cycle. The opportunity was posted and created on May 30, 2014, with an original and current closing date of June 3, 2014, and it was archived on July 3, 2014. That schedule aligns with a notice-of-intent posting where the main purpose is transparency and documentation for a planned single-source action, not to allow time for proposal development by multiple applicants.
For anyone who needed access to the full announcement materials and could not retrieve them electronically, the contact listed was Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, at (303) 969-2303.
