Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service opportunity titled "Pack Fragile Items for Move of Collections at Mesa Verde National Park" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIR8100110244) is a discretionary funding action that will be issued as a cooperative agreement under the National Park Service Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). The project sits within the Natural Resources activity category and is focused on hands-on collections support work at Mesa Verde National Park, specifically packing fragile items in preparation for moving museum or archival collections. The purpose is operational and preservation-oriented: ensuring delicate collection materials are properly prepared, protected, and stabilized for relocation so they are not damaged during transport and handling.
This notice is not a standard competitive grant solicitation. It is explicitly described as a "notice of intent" for a noncompetitive, single-source award, citing the Department of the Interior's policy authority at 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C. In practical terms, that means the NPS has already identified the recipient and intends to proceed without opening the opportunity to broader competition. The announcement states that it is a single-source award to the University of Arizona, and the listing reinforces that it is not a request for applications. The "Eligible Applicants" field is therefore more of a general system category entry ("Others") rather than an invitation for multiple entities to apply, and the eligibility clarification is that the award is directed to the University of Arizona.
The opportunity anticipates one award with an estimated total funding amount of $29,999, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as $0, which commonly indicates that the specific negotiated amount is handled through the task agreement and supporting documentation rather than through a typical competitive range structure. Key dates show it was posted and created on May 24, 2011, with an original and current closing date of May 28, 2011, and an archive date of June 27, 2011. Given the very short open window and the single-source nature, the dates function more as an administrative posting period than a true application cycle.
For anyone needing the full announcement but having trouble accessing it electronically, the posted point of contact is Jenny Sommer, Agreements Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-969-2392.
