Opportunity Summary:

The National Park Service opportunity titled "National Park Service Jackson Lake Lodge Historic Structure Report" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP14AC01158) is a discretionary funding action intended to support natural resource and National Park System resource work through a cooperative agreement. The project is structured as a task agreement issued under the National Park Service Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), a partnership framework the NPS uses to collaborate with academic and other qualified institutions on research, technical assistance, and related professional services. The core deliverable implied by the title is the preparation of a Historic Structure Report for Jackson Lake Lodge, a document typically used by federal land management agencies to guide preservation, treatment, and long-term management of significant historic buildings through historical research, existing conditions documentation, and recommendations consistent with preservation standards.

This notice is explicitly not a competitive solicitation and not a request for applications. Instead, it functions as a Notice of Intent to make a noncompetitive, single-source award, citing Department of the Interior policy (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C) as the basis for proceeding without full and open competition. The announcement states that the intended recipient is the University of Pennsylvania, meaning eligibility is effectively limited to that institution for this specific action. Although the Grants.gov fields list "Others" as an eligible applicant category, the eligibility clarification makes clear that outside entities are not being invited to apply because the award is being made directly to the named recipient.

The funding profile is modest and tightly defined: the estimated total funding amount is $28,188, with no stated award ceiling or floor (both listed as $0, which commonly indicates the system fields were not used to set formal bounds rather than implying no funding). The opportunity anticipates a single award. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient would not be expected to contribute non-federal match as a condition of receiving the award. The CFDA listing is 15.945, "Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System," which aligns with CESU-style cooperative work supporting stewardship of park resources.

The timeline indicates the notice was posted and created on July 9, 2014, with an original and current closing date of July 14, 2014, and an archive date of August 13, 2014. In the context of a noncompetitive notice of intent, the short window is typical because the "closing date" is more of an administrative marker than an application deadline for the public. For parties seeking more detail, the announcement references an attached document as the primary source for additional information about the task agreement scope, expectations, and administrative terms.
