Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service Historic Furnishing Report of the Apollo Mission Control Center, Houston, TX (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP13AC01262) is a National Park Service discretionary funding action intended to support work related to natural and cultural resource stewardship within the National Park System. The effort is focused on producing a Historic Furnishing Report for the Apollo Mission Control Center in Houston, Texas, a key historic site associated with the Apollo program and U.S. space exploration. A historic furnishing report typically documents and evaluates the historic interior environment of a significant place, including furnishings, fixtures, equipment, finishes, and other interior elements, with the goal of guiding accurate preservation, restoration, interpretation, or rehabilitation decisions.
This opportunity is structured as a cooperative agreement under CFDA 15.945 (Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System). The National Park Service anticipates making one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $45,000. No cost sharing or matching is required. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as $0, which commonly indicates that a standard ceiling/floor structure was not used in the posting and that the total anticipated amount is instead captured under the estimated total funding figure.
Importantly, this announcement is not a request for applications and is not open for competitive submission. It is a notice of intent to make a noncompetitive, single-source award to Colorado State University. The work will be issued as a task agreement under the National Park Service Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), a partnership mechanism used by DOI bureaus to carry out research, technical assistance, and education activities with network partner institutions. The National Park Service cites the Department of the Interior policy authority for noncompetitive awards (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C) as the basis for proceeding without competition.
The posting was created and published on August 23, 2013, with an original and current closing date of August 28, 2013, and an archive date of September 27, 2013. Because the award is intended for a named recipient and is noncompetitive, the short window functions more as a public notice period than as an application period for outside organizations. Eligibility is therefore effectively limited to the identified single source recipient (Colorado State University), even though the general eligibility field is labeled broadly as "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)."
