Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS) funding opportunity titled "National Historic Landmark Nomination, Pan American Union" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP15AC01333) is a discretionary cooperative agreement intended to support work associated with preparing or advancing a National Historic Landmark (NHL) nomination for the Pan American Union. The announcement is framed as a notice of intent rather than an open competition, meaning the NPS is signaling its plan to make an award through an established partnership mechanism instead of soliciting proposals from the general public. The activity sits within the NPS natural resources funding activity category and is linked to CFDA 15.945, which covers Cooperative Research and Training Programs related to resources of the National Park System. In practice, that CFDA alignment indicates the work is expected to involve technical, research, documentation, or professional services that help the NPS carry out its preservation and stewardship responsibilities.
This award is specifically described as a task agreement under the National Park Service Desert Southwest Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). CESUs are cooperative networks that allow federal agencies to partner with universities, nonprofits, and other organizations to conduct research, provide technical assistance, and deliver training. In this case, the Desert Southwest CESU is being used as the contracting and collaborative vehicle to issue a task agreement for the NHL nomination effort. The notice emphasizes that the award is noncompetitive and is being made in accordance with the Department of the Interior (DOI) policy at 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C, which is the internal authority the agency cites when it limits competition under specific circumstances. In other words, the agency is not inviting multiple applicants to compete; it is documenting the intent to proceed with a particular partner or a narrowly defined eligible entity through the CESU framework.
Funding for the project is listed as an estimated total of $34,981, with an expected number of awards of one. The announcement lists no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient would not be required to provide non-federal match as a condition of receiving the funds. The award ceiling and floor are both shown as $0 in the record, which commonly appears in older grant listings when the agency does not express formal minimum or maximum bounds in the public synopsis, even though an estimated total funding figure is provided elsewhere.
Eligibility is identified as nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education). Because the action is noncompetitive and tied to a CESU task agreement, the practical implication is that eligibility is likely limited to a specific organization or set of organizations positioned within that cooperative framework, rather than a broad pool of applicants. Anyone seeking full details would need to consult the attached announcement referenced in the synopsis for the scope of work, deliverables, and any special qualifications tied to NHL nomination preparation (for example, historical research standards, documentation requirements, or coordination expectations with NPS historians and preservation staff).
Key dates show the opportunity was posted and created on July 29, 2015, with an original and current closing date of August 7, 2015, and an archive date of September 6, 2015. A short window like this is typical for a notice of intent or a noncompetitive action, since it is not designed to support a broad competitive process. For assistance accessing the full announcement, the listed NPS contact is Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, at 303-969-2303.
