Opportunity Summary:

The National Park Service (NPS) grant opportunity titled "Emergency Preservation and Documentation of a Stratified, Multicomponent Habitation Site, Phase 2" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP14AC00745) is a discretionary funding action that will be issued as a cooperative agreement under the Desert Southwest Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). The activity is categorized under Natural Resources and is tied to CFDA 15.945, which covers Cooperative Research and Training Programs related to resources of the National Park System. The project is framed as an emergency effort focused on preserving and documenting an archaeological habitation site that contains multiple layers and components, suggesting a complex site with deposits from different time periods or cultural uses that require careful recording and protection.

This announcement is explicitly not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as a notice of intent to make a single-source, noncompetitive award, meaning NPS is not soliciting proposals from the broader public or from multiple institutions. The award is being made in accordance with Department of the Interior policy referenced as 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C, which is commonly used to justify noncompetitive financial assistance when a single recipient is uniquely qualified or otherwise appropriate under the regulation. In practical terms, the agency has already identified the recipient and is publishing the notice primarily for transparency and administrative documentation.

The sole eligible recipient for this action is the University of Arizona, which is named directly in the eligibility information. The announcement anticipates one award in total. The estimated total funding amount is $55,000, and the notice indicates there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is not expected to contribute additional non-federal funds as a condition of the award. The posting date and creation date are both May 28, 2014, with an original and current closing date of June 2, 2014, and the opportunity archived on July 2, 2014. Because it is a noncompetitive, single-source action rather than an open competition, the short window between posting and closing functions more as an administrative timeline than as a typical application period.

For further details or for anyone who has trouble accessing the full announcement materials, the listed point of contact is Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, reachable by phone at (303) 969-2303.
