Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service Horseshoe Mesa Rock Art Documentation opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP14AC00285) was a discretionary funding notice posted on September 3, 2015, and archived on October 12, 2015. It was structured as a cooperative agreement under CFDA 15.945, which supports cooperative research and training programs related to resources of the National Park System. The activity category is natural resources, and the project focus is the documentation of rock art at Horseshoe Mesa, indicating a cultural and resource documentation effort intended to support preservation, research, and management needs within the National Park Service.
This notice was not an open competition and was not a request for applications. Instead, it functioned as a formal notice of intent to make a single-source, noncompetitive award. The announcement specifies that the award would be made through a task agreement under the National Park Service Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), a partnership framework commonly used by DOI bureaus to collaborate with qualified research and technical organizations. The noncompetitive nature of the award was justified under Department of the Interior policy (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C), which covers circumstances allowing single-source awards.
Only one award was expected, with an estimated total funding amount of $30,000. The listing shows no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient was not required to provide non-federal funds as a condition of the award. While the published fields show an award ceiling and floor of $0, that typically reflects how the opportunity was entered into the system rather than indicating zero funding, since the estimated total funding amount is clearly stated as $30,000.
Eligibility was effectively limited because the National Park Service identified a specific recipient in the notice: The Museum of Northern Arizona. The eligible applicants field is listed broadly as "Others," but the eligibility explanation clarifies that this was a single-source award and not open to general applicants. The original and current closing dates were both September 12, 2015, which aligns with the purpose of the posting as a public notice of intent rather than a window for submitting proposals.
For administrative questions or difficulty accessing the full announcement materials, the notice provided a point of contact: Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, at (303) 969-2303.
