Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "National Park Service - Prepare Little Bighorn Battlefield Collections for Storage and Public Access" is a discretionary funding action issued by the National Park Service (NPS) under a Cooperative Agreement. It is connected to the Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), which is a partnership framework NPS uses to carry out research, technical assistance, and training projects with participating institutions. The core purpose of this specific award is to support work that prepares collections associated with Little Bighorn Battlefield for proper storage and improved public access, which typically means activities such as organizing, stabilizing, documenting, and rehousing museum or archival materials so they are preserved appropriately and can be more easily used for interpretation, research, and public benefit.
This notice is not an open competition and is not requesting applications from the general public or from multiple organizations. Instead, it is a Notice of Intent to make a noncompetitive, single-source award, specifically to the University of Arizona. The announcement cites Department of the Interior policy (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C) as the basis for using a noncompetitive approach. In practical terms, that means NPS had already identified the intended partner and was publicly posting the opportunity mainly to meet transparency requirements rather than to solicit proposals.
Administratively, the opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number "NPS NOIR8100110507" and is categorized as "Natural Resources" for the funding activity category, reflecting the NPS mission area that includes resource stewardship and associated museum collections management. The CFDA listing provided is 15.945, described as "Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System," which is commonly used for CESU and other cooperative projects that support NPS resource management, research, and capacity building. The anticipated number of awards is one, consistent with the single-source nature of the action. The total estimated funding is $52,449, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is not expected to provide a required financial match as a condition of the award.
In terms of timing, the opportunity was posted on September 7, 2011, with an original and current closing date of September 11, 2011, and it was later archived on October 11, 2011. Those dates align with how notices of intent for noncompetitive awards are often handled: they may be posted for a short window for public visibility even though the recipient has already been selected. The award ceiling and floor are both shown as $0, which is not unusual in older listings where the system fields are not used to express the true expected amount, especially when the total estimated funding is provided separately.
Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," but the detailed eligibility statement makes the practical situation clear: this is not a request for applications and is intended as a single-source award to the University of Arizona. Anyone seeking the full announcement but unable to access it electronically is directed to contact Jenny Sommer, Agreements Specialist, at (303) 969-2392, which is the provided point of contact for administrative questions about the posting.
