Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service Preserve Prehistoric Sandals opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP15AC00946) is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding action that was posted on June 11, 2015 and closed on June 20, 2015. It is listed under the Natural Resources activity category and uses a Cooperative Agreement as the funding instrument. The stated purpose is to support work related to preserving prehistoric sandals, with the award to be issued as a task agreement under the National Park Service Desert Southwest Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), which is a partnership mechanism NPS uses to collaborate with academic and other partners on research, technical assistance, and related projects tied to park resources.
This announcement is not an open competition and is explicitly not a request for applications. Instead, it functions as a Notice of Intent for a noncompetitive, single-source award. The notice cites Department of the Interior policy (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C) as the authority for making the award without competition. The only intended recipient identified in the source data is the University of Arizona, meaning other organizations are not being invited to submit proposals through this posting. While the Eligible Applicants field is broadly labeled as "Others," the eligibility clarification states that the action is a single-source award to that specific institution.
The opportunity anticipates one award with an estimated total funding amount of $32,403. No cost sharing or matching is required. The posting shows award ceiling and floor values of $0, which typically indicates that standard ceiling/floor fields were not used for this notice, rather than implying no funding; the estimated total funding amount is the meaningful figure provided. The related CFDA program listing is 15.945, identified as Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System, which aligns with CESU-style cooperative research and support activities.
For applicants or members of the public seeking the full details, the announcement notes that additional information is contained in an attached announcement, and provides a point of contact for access issues: Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, at (303) 969-2303. The opportunity was archived on July 20, 2015, consistent with the fact that it was time-limited and intended to document a specific planned noncompetitive award rather than solicit new applications.
