Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service La Bajada Cultural Landscape Report, Phase II (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP14AC00921) is a National Park Service discretionary funding action intended to support work in the natural resources and National Park System stewardship space, specifically through a Cooperative Agreement. Rather than being a typical open competition, this notice functions as a formal Notice of Intent to make a noncompetitive, single-source award under the Department of the Interior's policy framework (cited as 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C). In practical terms, that means the National Park Service had already identified the partner organization it planned to fund and issued this announcement mainly to document the intent to award and provide transparency.
The project will be implemented through the National Park Service Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), using a task agreement mechanism. CESUs are cooperative research and technical assistance partnerships designed to connect federal land management agencies with universities and other partners for applied research, resource management support, and training. Here, the planned outcome is a Phase II effort tied to a Cultural Landscape Report for La Bajada, which typically involves compiling and analyzing historic, cultural, and landscape information to guide preservation and management decisions. While the announcement summary does not detail the technical scope, the title indicates the work is part of a multi-phase documentation and planning effort focused on a culturally significant landscape.
The estimated total funding amount listed is $75,000, with an expected number of awards of one. The posting date and creation date are both August 6, 2014, with an original and current closing date of August 10, 2014, and an archive date of September 9, 2014. The short window between posting and closing aligns with the fact that this is not a competitive opportunity; the closing date is largely administrative rather than an invitation for broad submissions.
Eligibility is explicitly restricted: the announcement states it is not a request for applications and is a single-source award to the University of New Mexico. As a result, other entities are not being solicited to apply, even though the general eligible applicant category is shown as "Others" with clarification in the eligibility text. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement indicated. The CFDA listing associated with the opportunity is 15.945, tied to Cooperative Research and Training Programs and Resources of the National Park System.
For access issues related to the full announcement materials, the listed point of contact is Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, at 303-969-2303, which would be the appropriate route for obtaining the attachment or confirming administrative details about the notice and the planned agreement.
