Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS) funding opportunity titled "National Park Service Historic Resource Study Cattle Ranching and Agricultural Practices and Updated National Register of Historic Places Nomination" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP13AC01224) is a discretionary grant action intended to support research and documentation work related to historic cattle ranching and agricultural practices within the context of the National Park System. The project is set up as a cooperative agreement under CFDA 15.945, which covers Cooperative Research and Training Programs and activities related to resources of the National Park System. In practical terms, the work funded under this notice is meant to produce a Historic Resource Study focused on ranching and agriculture and to update an existing National Register of Historic Places nomination, which is the formal federal listing process used to recognize and document historically significant places.
This notice is not an open competition and it is not a request for applications. Instead, it is a notice of intent to make a single-source, noncompetitive award to Texas State University. The NPS indicates the award will be issued through a task agreement under the Desert Southwest Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), which is a partnership framework NPS uses to collaborate with universities and other partners on research, technical assistance, and resource management needs. The noncompetitive nature of the award is explicitly tied to Department of the Interior policy, cited as 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C, which provides the administrative basis for issuing certain awards without competition when specific conditions are met.
The opportunity is categorized under Natural Resources as the funding activity area, reflecting that historic landscapes, cultural resource documentation, and associated land-use practices are treated as part of NPS resource stewardship. The expected number of awards is one, consistent with the single-source designation. The estimated total funding amount listed is $39,800, and there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement. The award ceiling and floor are both shown as $0 in the source data, which often indicates that the system record does not specify formal minimum or maximum thresholds even though an estimated total project amount is provided.
In terms of timing and status, the opportunity was posted and created on August 19, 2013, with an original and current closing date of August 23, 2013, and an archive date of September 22, 2013. Because this is a notice of intent for a noncompetitive, single-recipient action rather than a solicitation, these dates function more as administrative milestones for public posting and recordkeeping than as a window for submitting competing proposals.
