Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service Cultural Resource Support for Archaeological Survey at White Sands National Monument (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP13AC00522) is a discretionary funding action the National Park Service planned to carry out in 2013 through a cooperative agreement. The project sits within the Natural Resources activity area and is tied to CFDA 15.945, which covers cooperative research and training programs supporting resources of the National Park System. In practical terms, the effort is intended to support cultural resource work, specifically an archaeological survey connected to White Sands National Monument, using the framework of the National Park Service Desert Southwest Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). The CESU structure is commonly used by federal agencies to partner with academic institutions and other collaborators on research, technical assistance, and resource management projects.
This notice is not a competitive grant solicitation. It is a notice of intent to make a single, noncompetitive (single-source) award, and it explicitly states that it is not a request for applications. Eligibility is therefore not open in the usual sense; the intended recipient is New Mexico State University. The noncompetitive approach is justified under the Department of the Interior policy referenced as 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C, which provides internal authority and conditions for using noncompetitive awards in certain circumstances. The announcement indicates that the award would be issued as a task agreement under the Desert Southwest CESU, meaning the work would be defined and managed through a specific agreement document under the broader CESU partnership mechanism.
The opportunity anticipated one award with an estimated total funding amount of $42,335. No cost sharing or matching funds were required, reducing the financial burden on the recipient institution. The listed award ceiling and floor were both shown as $0, which typically reflects that the agency did not use those fields to set formal upper or lower bounds in the public posting, relying instead on the stated estimated total funding.
Timing-wise, the notice was posted and created on June 7, 2013, with an original and current closing date of June 12, 2013, and an archive date of July 12, 2013. The short window aligns with the fact that this was a notice of intent for a predetermined, single-source award rather than an open competition requiring time for proposal development and submission. For parties who needed help accessing the full announcement, the contact listed was Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-969-2392.
