Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "National Park Service Move Little Bighorn Battlefield Collections to the Western Archeological and Conservation Center" is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding action structured as a cooperative agreement under the Natural Resources activity category. The purpose of the action is to support the movement of collections associated with Little Bighorn Battlefield to the Western Archeological and Conservation Center (WACC), which is a facility typically used for professional museum collections management, archeological curation, and conservation services. In practical terms, the project is centered on the safe transfer and appropriate curation of federal collections so they can be housed, protected, and managed in accordance with NPS museum standards and applicable federal requirements.
This notice is not a competitive funding opportunity and it is explicitly not a request for applications. Instead, it is a notice of intent to make a noncompetitive, single-source award in accordance with Department of the Interior policy referenced as DOI 505 DM 2.12C. The announcement states that the award will be executed as a task agreement under the National Park Service Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). CESUs are partnership networks that allow federal agencies to collaborate with participating universities and other partners through streamlined agreements, often for research, technical assistance, and resource management projects.
Only one award is expected, and the eligible applicant is predetermined: the University of Arizona. The listing indicates "Others" under eligible applicants, but the eligibility narrative clarifies that this is a single-source award specifically to that institution, meaning other entities are not being solicited and do not have an opportunity to compete for the funding under this notice. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is not required to provide a financial match as a condition of the award.
Financially, the opportunity shows an estimated total funding amount of $44,831. The award ceiling and award floor are both listed as $0, which commonly appears in notices like this when the agency is not setting competitive range parameters because the action is a directed, noncompetitive award rather than an open solicitation. The funding opportunity number is NPS NOIR8100110160, and the CFDA number is shown as 00.000 (Not Elsewhere Classified), which is sometimes used when a more specific CFDA program identifier is not assigned or not reflected in the public listing.
In terms of timing, the opportunity was posted and created on April 28, 2011, with an original and current closing date of May 2, 2011, and an archive date of June 1, 2011. Those short timelines are consistent with a notice-of-intent posting whose main purpose is public transparency about the planned noncompetitive award, rather than providing a window for proposal submission.
