Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service Condition Assessment and Treatment Planning for Montezuma Castle opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP13AC00851) is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding action focused on natural resources work tied to Montezuma Castle, a unit of the National Park System. The purpose, as stated in the listing, is to support a condition assessment and the development of treatment planning, meaning the work is aimed at evaluating current conditions and then outlining appropriate actions to address identified needs through a structured plan. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates substantial involvement by the federal agency in coordinating, guiding, or collaborating on the work rather than simply issuing a hands-off grant.
This notice is not structured as an open competition. It is explicitly described as a notice of intent to make a noncompetitive award under the Department of the Interior policy cited as 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C, and it will be implemented through a task agreement under the NPS Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). In practical terms, that means the NPS intends to issue a single, specified award through an established CESU partnership mechanism rather than soliciting proposals from the broader public. The announcement also clarifies that it is not a request for applications and that the intended recipient is the University of New Mexico, identified as the single-source awardee.
In terms of funding scope and administrative details, the estimated total funding listed is $30,000, with an expected number of awards of one. No cost sharing or matching is required. The award ceiling and floor are both shown as zero in the dataset, which often occurs in notices that are not traditional competitive grant solicitations and where the main funding amount is captured in the estimated total rather than as a range. The CFDA number associated with the opportunity is 15.945, tied to Cooperative Research and Training Programs and Resources of the National Park System, reinforcing that this is a research, assessment, or technical support type of action aligned with NPS resource stewardship.
The timeline in the posting is short and reflects the nature of a notice of intent rather than an open application period. The opportunity was posted and created on July 12, 2013, with an original and current closing date of July 17, 2013, and an archive date of August 16, 2013. Because it is not requesting applications, these dates function more as public notice and administrative milestones than as deadlines for prospective applicants to submit proposals.
