Opportunity Summary:
The funding opportunity titled "National Park Service Preservation Plan for Sivuovi, Petrified Forest National Park" (Funding Opportunity Number: NPS NOIR8430110806) is a National Park Service discretionary grant action focused on natural and cultural resource preservation within the National Park System. The effort is tied to Petrified Forest National Park and specifically references development of a preservation plan for "Sivuovi," which, based on the title and program context, indicates an archaeological or culturally significant site or resource requiring formal planning for long-term protection, treatment, and management.
This notice is not an open, competitive solicitation. Instead, it is a formal notice of intent to make a single, noncompetitive award under the Department of the Interior authority cited as 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C. In practical terms, that means the agency has already identified the intended recipient and is publishing the announcement primarily for transparency and public record, not to invite proposals from multiple applicants. The announcement explicitly states it is "not a request for applications" and that the award will be made as a single-source action to the Center for Desert Archaeology. The "Eligible Applicants" field is therefore somewhat generic in the database listing, but the eligibility is effectively limited by the single-source designation described in the notice.
The award mechanism is a Cooperative Agreement, and it is being issued through the National Park Service Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). CESUs are partnership networks used by federal agencies to carry out research, technical assistance, and educational activities with partner organizations. A cooperative agreement, as opposed to a standard grant, generally indicates that the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the project during performance, such as providing technical direction, coordinating access, reviewing deliverables, or collaborating on methods and findings. The listing also connects the work to CFDA 15.945, which covers Cooperative Research and Training Programs related to resources of the National Park System, reinforcing that the project is expected to produce applied, park-relevant products (in this case, a preservation plan).
In terms of funding, the Estimated Total Funding is listed as $27,000, with no cost sharing or matching requirement. The database shows an award ceiling and floor of $0, which typically reflects how some notices are entered when the award amount is handled through an internal agreement or task agreement format rather than through a standard competitive range. Only one award is expected.
Timing details show the opportunity was posted and created on July 23, 2011, with an original and current closing date of July 27, 2011, and an archive date of August 26, 2011. Because this is a notice of intent for a noncompetitive, single-source award, the short window between posting and closing is consistent with a public notice period rather than a normal application cycle. There is no application package to submit because proposals are not being requested from the public.
For additional details or if someone could not access the full announcement, the notice provides a point of contact: Jenny Sommer, Agreements Specialist, at (303) 969-2392.
