Opportunity Summary:

The National Park Service Preservation Best Practices, Missions Initiative (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIJ7500100010) is a discretionary funding action the National Park Service planned to issue as a cooperative agreement focused on natural resources work connected to preservation best practices in mission settings. Rather than being a typical competitive grant program, it was published specifically as a notice of intent to make a single, noncompetitive award under the Department of the Interior authority cited as DOI 505 DM 2.12C. The work would be carried out through a task agreement under the National Park Service Desert Southwest Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), which is a cooperative framework used by NPS to partner with academic and other institutions on research and technical assistance.

The announcement makes clear that it was not a request for applications and not open for competition. The only intended recipient was the University of Arizona, and the listing of "Eligible Applicants" as "Others" is essentially a placeholder that is clarified by the eligibility note stating it is a single-source award. In practical terms, this means outside organizations were not expected to apply, and no proposal solicitation or competitive review process was being conducted through this posting.

Funding for the effort was estimated at $61,000 in total, with an expected number of awards listed as one. No cost sharing or matching funds were required. The award ceiling and floor were both listed as $0, which commonly appears in older federal postings when the agency does not specify formal minimums/maximums in the public synopsis even though an estimated total amount is provided.

Key dates show the notice was posted on June 21, 2010, with an original and current closing date of June 25, 2010, and an archive date of July 25, 2010. Because this was a notice of intent for a noncompetitive action, the "closing date" functions more like an administrative timeline for the notice period rather than a deadline for submitting applications.

For questions or issues obtaining the full announcement, the contact listed was Jenny Sommer, Agreements Specialist, at (303) 969-2392.
