Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service Improve Preservation of Historic Textiles and Objects opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP13AC00496) is a discretionary federal funding action administered by the National Park Service (NPS). It is structured as a cooperative agreement under the Natural Resources funding activity category and falls under CFDA 15.945, Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System. The purpose, as indicated by the title and description, is to support work that improves the preservation of historic textiles and objects within the National Park System, likely involving specialized conservation, collections care, research, and/or training activities aligned with NPS preservation needs.
This announcement is a Notice of Intent rather than an open solicitation. It explicitly states that it is not a request for applications and that it will result in a task agreement award issued under the National Park Service Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). In practical terms, that means NPS intended to fund a specific project with a specific partner through the CESU framework rather than compete the award broadly. The award is identified as noncompetitive and is justified under Department of the Interior policy at 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C, which covers circumstances where a single-source (noncompetitive) approach is permitted.
The opportunity lists an expected number of awards of one, with an estimated total funding amount of $73,648. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as $0, which is commonly used in notices of intent or records where the system fields are not populated with standard competitive ranges, even though an estimated total is provided. The eligible applicants field is not broadly defined because the notice is tied to a single-source action; the eligibility section clarifies the intended recipient is the University of Arizona.
Key dates show the notice was posted and created on June 3, 2013, with an original and current closing date of June 8, 2013, and an archive date of July 8, 2013. Those dates reflect the administrative window for the public notice of the government’s intent to make a noncompetitive award, not a period for proposal submission since the announcement is not open for applications.
