Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS) funding opportunity titled "National Park Service Grand Canyon Colorado River Archeological Site Stabilization" (Funding Opportunity Number: NPS NOIP15AC00991) is a discretionary cooperative agreement intended to support natural resource-related work focused on stabilizing archeological sites along the Colorado River corridor in Grand Canyon National Park. The activity is framed as a task agreement to be issued under the National Park Service Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), which is a partnership mechanism NPS uses to collaborate with eligible research and education institutions on resource management, applied research, and technical assistance projects.
This notice is not structured as an open competition. Instead, it is a formal notice of intent to make a single, noncompetitive award, consistent with Department of the Interior policy cited as 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C. In practical terms, that means the agency already identified the partner it plans to work with and is documenting its intent to proceed without soliciting proposals from the broader public. The announcement explicitly states it is not a request for applications, and the named recipient for the single-source award is the Museum of Northern Arizona. The eligibility field reflects this by listing "Others" while clarifying in the detailed eligibility information that this particular posting is effectively closed to new applicants because it is reserved for that designated organization under the CESU framework.
The expected number of awards is one, and the estimated total funding amount is $41,850. The listing does not specify an award ceiling or floor (both shown as zero), which generally indicates the agency did not set standardized minimum or maximum bounds in the public synopsis and instead is communicating the estimated project total. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award, although cooperative agreements typically involve substantial involvement by the federal agency in the project execution compared to a standard grant.
From an administrative timeline perspective, the opportunity was posted and created on June 12, 2015, with an original and current closing date of June 22, 2015, and an archive date of July 22, 2015. Those dates reflect the window during which the notice of intent was publicly visible and documented in the grants system, rather than a period for competing applications, since the announcement is specifically described as noncompetitive and single-source. The CFDA program identifiers tied to this action include 15.945, covering Cooperative Research and Training Programs and Resources of the National Park System, which aligns with the CESU model and with NPS resource stewardship work.
