National Park Service Cultural Landscapes Inventory Washington DC Public Reservations | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The funding opportunity titled "National Park Service Cultural Landscapes Inventory - Washington DC Public Reservations" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP15AC01326) is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding notice that serves primarily as a public notification rather than an open call for proposals. It was posted and created on July 28, 2015, with an original and current closing date of August 6, 2015, and it was later archived on September 5, 2015. The notice explains that the NPS intends to make a single award and that the award will be issued as a cooperative agreement under the framework of an existing Master Agreement, specifically through the National Park Service Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). The activity category is listed as Natural Resources, and the relevant CFDA number is 15.945, which covers Cooperative Research and Training Programs related to the resources of the National Park System.

This announcement is explicitly described as a notice of intent for a noncompetitive award, made in accordance with Department of the Interior policy at 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C. In practical terms, that language signals that the agency has already identified the mechanism and partner pathway it plans to use and is not seeking competing applications from the general public. The eligibility section reinforces this point by stating that the announcement is not a request for applications; instead, it exists to provide public notice of NPS's intention to fund a task agreement under an already-established master agreement vehicle. The "Eligible Applicants" field is marked broadly as "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," which is consistent with CESU-based actions where only certain pre-qualified network members or partners associated with the master agreement are positioned to receive the task agreement.

Financially, the opportunity indicates one expected award with a fixed amount: both the award ceiling and award floor are listed as $70,071, implying the planned project amount is set rather than a range. No cost sharing or matching is required, meaning the recipient is not expected to provide non-federal funds as a condition of the award. Because it is a cooperative agreement, the NPS typically anticipates substantial involvement in the project, such as collaboration on scope, methods, deliverables, review, or coordination, which distinguishes it from a grant where the recipient generally operates more independently.

The project focus, as reflected in the title, is the Cultural Landscapes Inventory (CLI) for Washington, DC public reservations. While the notice does not provide technical scope details in the text provided, CLI work generally involves documenting and evaluating cultural landscape resources, including historical development, existing conditions, character-defining features, landscape characteristics, and integrity, often producing standardized inventory records used for planning, preservation, and management within the National Park System. The reference to Washington, DC public reservations suggests the work would center on nationally significant designed or historic landscapes in the District managed or overseen in some capacity by NPS, with the inventory supporting stewardship decisions and long-term cultural resource management.

For administrative questions or assistance accessing the full announcement, the contact listed is Katie Gaertner, a Grants Management Specialist with the National Park Service, with a phone number indicated but not fully provided in the text excerpt. Overall, the key takeaway is that this posting functions as a transparency notice for a pre-planned, single-source task agreement under the CESU structure, rather than a competitive grant opportunity open to new applicants.
