Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS) funding opportunity titled "National Park Service Conduct Ethnographic Overview and Assessment of Mesa Verde National Park and Yucca House National Monument, Phase III" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIJ1496100202) is a discretionary grant notice issued under a Cooperative Agreement within the Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). The project sits in the Natural Resources funding activity area and is intended to support continued ethnographic work associated with Mesa Verde National Park and Yucca House National Monument. The posting date and creation date were both July 22, 2010, with an original and current closing date of July 27, 2010, and the notice later archived on August 26, 2010. The estimated total funding amount associated with the action is $35,000, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed.
This notice is not a typical open, competitive solicitation. Instead, it is explicitly described as a "notice of intent" for a noncompetitive, single-source award made in accordance with Department of the Interior policy (cited as DOI 505 DM 2.12C). In practical terms, that means the NPS was announcing its intention to award a task agreement under the CESU framework without inviting applications from other organizations. Consistent with that approach, the opportunity lists "ExpectedAwards: 0," which signals that the notice is informational and procedural rather than a call for proposals that would result in multiple awards.
Eligibility is correspondingly restricted. While the general "Eligible Applicants" field references "Others" with a note to see additional eligibility information, the eligibility statement clarifies the key point: "This funding announcement is not a request for applications. This is a single source award to Arizona State University." As a result, other institutions or applicants are not being asked to submit proposals for consideration under this announcement, because the intended recipient and award pathway have already been identified through the CESU task agreement mechanism.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is structured as a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant. Cooperative agreements typically imply substantial involvement by the federal agency in the supported work, such as collaboration on project design, data standards, deliverables, review processes, or integration of results into NPS management needs. The announcement also lists an award ceiling and floor of $0, which is a common artifact in notices that are not set up as competitive solicitations with variable award ranges, and instead reference a known planned amount elsewhere (here, the estimated total funding of $35,000).
For anyone trying to locate the full details, the announcement indicates there was an attachment with additional information. The point of contact provided for access issues is Jenny Sommer, Agreements Specialist, at 303-969-2392. This contact information is specifically framed for technical difficulty accessing the full announcement electronically, reinforcing that the substantive scope, deliverables, and performance expectations were likely contained in the attached document rather than fully reproduced in the short synopsis.
