Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service Heritage Partnerships Program Digital Documentation opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIR1264110055) is a discretionary funding action administered by the National Park Service under CFDA 15.945, which covers Cooperative Research and Training Programs related to Resources of the National Park System. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, and the activity category is listed as natural resources, indicating the work is intended to support NPS resource stewardship and related documentation efforts rather than construction or direct visitor services.
This notice is not a public, open competition. It is a notice of intent to make a noncompetitive, single-source award through the National Park Service Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). In practical terms, that means the NPS planned to issue a task agreement under the CESU network rather than solicit proposals from multiple applicants. The announcement explicitly states that it is not a request for applications and identifies the intended recipient as the University of Colorado Denver. The noncompetitive approach is justified under Department of the Interior policy (cited as 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C), which governs circumstances where a sole-source or otherwise noncompetitive financial assistance award is appropriate.
The opportunity anticipated one award with an estimated total funding amount of $48,000 and no cost sharing or matching requirement. The listing shows award ceiling and floor as $0, which typically reflects that a specific funding amount is established in the attached announcement or task agreement documents rather than as a range in the synopsis itself. Key dates indicate the notice was posted and created on August 1, 2011, with an original and current closing date of August 5, 2011, and it was archived on September 4, 2011. Because this was a single-source notice rather than an application-based competition, the short window mainly functions as a public posting/notification period rather than a period for proposal development by outside parties.
For further details beyond the synopsis, the announcement directs interested parties to the attached full announcement. If there are access issues obtaining the full announcement electronically, the point of contact provided is Jenny Sommer, Agreements Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-969-2392.
