Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service Exhibit Production at Fort Davis Historic Site grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIR7220120012) is a discretionary funding action the National Park Service planned to issue as a cooperative agreement under the Desert Southwest Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). The project sits within the Natural Resources funding activity category and is associated with CFDA 15.945, Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System. In practical terms, the notice signals NPS intent to fund work connected to producing exhibits for Fort Davis Historic Site, using the CESU framework to structure the partnership and the resulting task agreement.
This announcement is not an open competition and is not a request for applications. Instead, it is a formal notice of intent to make a single-source, noncompetitive award to the University of Arizona. The noncompetitive approach is explicitly justified under Department of the Interior policy (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C), which is the internal authority NPS cites for making an award without soliciting proposals from other applicants. The listing also notes that eligible applicants are categorized as "Others" with clarification in the full announcement, but the key eligibility detail provided in the source data is that the award is specifically directed to the University of Arizona.
Funding details indicate an estimated total of $40,000 with one expected award. The posting date and creation date are both November 9, 2011, with an original and current closing date of November 14, 2011, and an archive date of December 14, 2011. Although the system fields show an award ceiling and floor of $0, that typically reflects how the opportunity was entered into the listing system rather than implying no funding; the estimated total funding amount is the meaningful figure in this case. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is not expected to contribute a mandated financial match as a condition of the award.
For access issues or questions about the full announcement, the contact listed is William Tallbull, Grant/Agreement Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-969-2891. The notice also references an attached announcement for additional specifics, which would normally contain the project scope, deliverables, period of performance, and administrative requirements tied to the CESU task agreement.
