Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity is a National Park Service (NPS) notice of intent to make a single, noncompetitive cooperative agreement award for work focused on continuing the documentation of archaeological sites that have been impacted by illegal border-related activities within Coronado National Memorial (CORO). The project sits within the Natural Resources funding activity category and is framed as an ongoing cultural resource documentation effort, meaning the primary purpose is to record, assess, and track conditions at archaeological locations where disturbances or damage linked to unauthorized border crossings and associated activities have occurred. The opportunity is presented as a task agreement under the NPS Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), which is a partnership mechanism NPS uses to collaborate with research institutions on resource management, scientific, and technical projects.
Administratively, this is not a competitive grant solicitation and not a request for applications. It is explicitly identified as a single-source award to the University of New Mexico, issued under Department of the Interior policy (cited as DOI 505 DM 2.12C) that allows for noncompetitive agreements in specific circumstances. Because it is a notice of intent rather than an open competition, other organizations are not being invited to apply, and the posting functions mainly as public transparency that NPS plans to obligate funds through the CESU mechanism to a specific partner.
The funding instrument type is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates NPS expects substantial involvement in the work (for example, coordination on field priorities, documentation standards, data management expectations, and integration with park cultural resource workflows), rather than simply issuing funds and receiving a final report. The estimated total funding amount listed is $59,636, with no cost sharing or matching requirement. The opportunity anticipates one award. The announcement lists an award ceiling and floor as $0, which typically reflects that the public posting is not structured like a competitive funding opportunity with variable award ranges, but rather as a pre-identified agreement amount or a figure handled within the task agreement documents.
Key dates show it was posted and created on March 21, 2011, with an original and current closing date of March 25, 2011, and an archive date of April 24, 2011. Those short timelines are consistent with a notice of intent for a noncompetitive award, where the closing date is more about the administrative posting window than an application period.
For additional details or access issues with the full announcement materials, the listed point of contact is Jenny Sommer, Agreements Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-969-2392.
