Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "National Park Service Inventory and Documentation of Historic Structures for the LCS, Year 2" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP14AC01015) is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding action intended to support continued work in identifying, recording, and formally documenting historic structures connected to the National Park System. The project sits within the Natural Resources funding activity category and is framed as Year 2 of an ongoing effort, which suggests it builds directly on a prior phase of inventory and documentation work rather than starting from scratch. The overall purpose is practical and preservation-oriented: to ensure historic structures are properly inventoried and documented so that park managers and preservation specialists have reliable information for stewardship, compliance, and long-term planning.
This notice is not an open competition. Instead, it is a "notice of intent" to make a single noncompetitive award under the Department of the Interior policy framework cited as 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C. In plain terms, the agency is signaling that it intends to fund a specific partner without soliciting proposals from other organizations. The mechanism for the award is a cooperative agreement, meaning the NPS anticipates substantial involvement in the project rather than simply providing funds and receiving a final product. The award will be made through a task agreement under the Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), which is a cooperative network structure the federal government uses to partner with universities and other institutions for research, technical assistance, and training that support public land management. The use of a CESU task agreement typically indicates the work is part of a broader, established collaboration where the partner has relevant expertise and the agency expects close coordination.
The expected number of awards is one, and the announcement states it is a single-source award to the University of New Mexico. Eligible applicants are therefore not broadly invited; the listing includes "Others" only because of how the eligibility field is standardized, but the eligibility information clarifies that this is not a request for applications. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means the recipient is not expected to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of the award.
Financially, the opportunity lists an estimated total funding amount of $31,808. The award ceiling and floor are both shown as $0, which commonly appears in notices that are not actually competing funds through a typical application process and where the funding level is handled through the internal task agreement and supporting documentation rather than a competitive range. The CFDA number provided is 15.945, labeled "Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System," which aligns with CESU-style cooperative work supporting national park resources.
The timeline reflects the administrative nature of the notice. It was posted on June 23, 2014, with an original and current closing date of June 27, 2014, and an archive date of July 27, 2014. A very short open period like this is another sign the posting is primarily a formal public notice rather than an invitation for the public to apply. Anyone needing help accessing the full announcement was directed to contact Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, at 303-969-2303, indicating the NPS office responsible for grants management support for this action.
Overall, this opportunity is best understood as an NPS administrative announcement documenting its intent to continue a specific, ongoing historic-structure inventory and documentation project through a cooperative agreement with the University of New Mexico under the Colorado Plateau CESU, with roughly $31.8K in planned support and no competitive application process.
