National Park Service Preservation Planning and Continuing Documentation of Archaeological Sites Impacted by Illegal Border Activities and Wildfire | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The National Park Service funding opportunity titled "Preservation Planning and Continuing Documentation of Archaeological Sites Impacted by Illegal Border Activities and Wildfire" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP13AC00511) is a discretionary grant action that the agency announced as a notice of intent to make a noncompetitive cooperative agreement award. The work is being issued through the National Park Service Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) as a task agreement, meaning it is tied to an established cooperative framework used by NPS to partner with academic and other research organizations for projects involving natural and cultural resource priorities. The stated purpose of the project is preservation planning and continued documentation for archaeological sites that have been damaged or threatened by illegal border-related activities and by wildfire, reflecting a need to assess impacts, record site conditions, and support protection and management decisions for resources within the National Park System.

This announcement is not structured as an open solicitation. Instead of requesting proposals from multiple applicants, NPS explicitly states that it is a single-source, noncompetitive award made under Department of the Interior policy (cited as 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C). The eligibility language reinforces this by noting that it is not a request for applications and that the intended recipient is the University of Mexico. Because of that structure, the practical implication is that outside organizations were not being invited to compete for or apply to this funding; the notice primarily serves transparency and public recordkeeping functions by documenting the agency's intent to fund a particular partner for a specific scope of work.

From the funding and administrative details provided, the instrument type is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates that NPS expected to have substantial involvement in the project during performance (for example, coordination on methods, deliverables, access to sites, data standards, and integration of results into NPS management). The activity category is listed under Natural Resources, and the CFDA numbers include 15.945 for Cooperative Research and Training Programs and Resources of the National Park System, which are commonly used for research, documentation, and technical assistance efforts connected to NPS stewardship responsibilities. The opportunity lists an estimated total funding amount of $262,996, with no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient was not required to provide a financial match as a condition of the award. The posting date and creation date were both June 4, 2013, with an original and current closing date of June 10, 2013, and an archive date of July 10, 2013, which is consistent with a brief posting window for a notice of intent rather than a competitive application period. The listing shows an expected number of awards as 1, and both the award ceiling and floor are listed as 0, which often appears in notices where the detailed funding limits are not presented in the summary fields or where the award amount is managed through the task agreement documentation rather than a typical competitive range.

For additional information or access issues related to the full announcement, the point of contact provided is Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, at 303-969-2392. Overall, this opportunity can be understood as a targeted NPS-funded cooperative effort with a specific university partner to support preservation planning and ongoing archaeological documentation in areas affected by illegal border activity impacts and wildfire, issued through the CESU mechanism and documented via a formal noncompetitive notice of intent.
