Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service Exhibit Production at Tonto NM opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP13AC01239) is a discretionary funding action by the National Park Service to support exhibit production work at Tonto National Monument. The award is structured as a cooperative agreement under the Natural Resources funding activity category, and it is being issued through the National Park Service Desert Southwest Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) as a task agreement. In practical terms, this means the project is intended to be carried out in a collaborative framework where the NPS and the recipient work together under an established CESU partnership mechanism, rather than through a standard open competition.
This announcement is explicitly a notice of intent to make a noncompetitive (single-source) award, and it is being justified under Department of the Interior policy cited as 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C. The posting makes clear that it is not a request for applications and should not be interpreted as an open call where multiple organizations submit proposals. Instead, the NPS is signaling in advance that it plans to fund one specific partner for this work.
The eligible applicant identified for this single-source action is the University of Arizona. While the listing shows the generic eligible applicant category as "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," the eligibility statement clarifies that the funding announcement is not open and that the University of Arizona is the intended recipient. The opportunity anticipates one award in total.
Financially, the estimated total funding amount is listed as $95,000. No cost sharing or matching requirement is indicated, meaning the recipient is not expected to provide matching funds as a condition of the award. The listing shows an award ceiling and floor of $0, which commonly appears in notices of intent or noncompetitive postings where the exact obligated amount may be handled through the accompanying agreement documentation rather than expressed as a competitive range in the public synopsis.
Key dates reflect how short the public notice window is for this type of noncompetitive intent posting. The opportunity was posted and created on August 21, 2013, with an original and current closing date of August 26, 2013, and it was archived on September 25, 2013. The associated CFDA numbers are 15.945, covering Cooperative Research and Training Programs and Resources of the National Park System, which aligns with CESU-style cooperative projects that support park resources and related research, training, and applied work.
