Opportunity Summary:
This grant notice, titled "National Park Service Phase III Documentation, Analysis and Conservation of Architectural Surface Finishes at Front Country Sites, Mesa Verde National Park," is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding action focused on natural resources and cultural resource preservation work at Mesa Verde National Park. The effort is specifically aimed at Phase III activities involving the documentation, analysis, and conservation of architectural surface finishes at "front country" sites, meaning locations that are relatively accessible to visitors and therefore often experience higher exposure, use, and potential wear. The intent is to support specialized work that helps the NPS better understand existing surface finishes, record their current condition, and carry out appropriate conservation treatments or planning to protect them.
The funding mechanism is a cooperative agreement issued under the National Park Service Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). In practice, a CESU-based cooperative agreement is used when the federal agency expects substantial involvement in the project, such as collaboration on scope, methods, deliverables, field coordination, review of technical products, or integration of results into ongoing park management. The announcement is a "notice of intent" rather than an open competition, and it is explicitly described as a noncompetitive award in accordance with DOI policy (cited as DOI 505 DM 2.12C). That means the NPS is signaling its plan to make an award to a specific recipient without soliciting proposals from multiple applicants.
A key point is that this posting is not a request for applications. Eligibility is effectively limited because it is a single-source action, and the named recipient is the University of Pennsylvania. While the listing shows "Eligible Applicants: Others (see text field...)," the eligibility clarification makes clear that the opportunity is not open for general submission; it is being issued to one institution based on programmatic reasons and the agency's determination under the cited authority.
The total estimated funding amount associated with the action is $50,318, with no cost sharing or matching requirement. The listing shows no award ceiling or floor (both listed as 0), which commonly occurs in notices that function more as administrative postings for an intended award rather than a competitive solicitation with defined ranges. The expected number of awards is listed as 0, which aligns with the fact that this is a notice of intent and not an application-based competition; the award is anticipated as a task agreement under the CESU rather than an award to be competed through the portal.
The timeline in the source data indicates the opportunity was posted and created on August 31, 2010, with an original and current closing date of September 4, 2010, and an archive date of October 4, 2010. Those dates reflect the administrative window for the notice rather than a true application period, since proposals were not being requested from the public.
