Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS) grant opportunity titled "National Park Service San Antonio Missions National Historical Park San Jose Convento Column/Wall Cyclic Treatment Phase 2" is a discretionary funding action intended to support natural resource and preservation work within San Antonio Missions National Historical Park. The activity is structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically means NPS expects substantial involvement in the technical direction, coordination, or oversight of the work as it is carried out. The project name indicates a continuation effort (Phase 2) focused on cyclic treatment of historic convento column and wall elements at Mission San Jose, suggesting a preservation or conservation treatment approach that is repeated on a schedule to manage deterioration in historic materials.
This notice is not a public, open competition. It is explicitly identified as a notice of intent to make a noncompetitive (single-source) award under the National Park Service Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). CESU agreements are commonly used by federal land-management agencies to partner with universities and other qualified organizations for research, technical assistance, and resource-management projects that benefit public lands and cultural or natural resources. In this case, the award is justified under Department of the Interior policy cited as 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C, which covers circumstances under which noncompetitive financial assistance may be appropriate. The announcement also states that additional details are contained in an attached announcement, reinforcing that this posting is primarily an informational notice rather than a solicitation inviting applications.
The total estimated funding for this action is $29,444, with an expected number of awards listed as one. There is no stated award ceiling or floor (both are shown as zero), which generally indicates that the award amount is defined by the specific task agreement rather than by a broad competitive range. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is not required to provide additional non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.
Eligibility is effectively limited because the opportunity is not a request for applications and is designated as a single-source award to the University of Pennsylvania. While the listing shows "Others" under eligible applicants, the eligibility information clarifies that the funding announcement is not open and that the intended recipient has already been identified.
Key administrative details include the Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIR7600110045 and the CFDA number 15.945, associated with Cooperative Research and Training Programs related to resources of the National Park System. The opportunity was posted and created on September 14, 2011, with an original and current closing date of September 18, 2011, and an archive date of October 18, 2011. Because it is a notice of intent for a single-source award rather than an open solicitation, the short posting window is consistent with a transparency posting practice rather than an application period.
For access issues or questions about the full announcement, the listed point of contact is Jenny Sommer, Agreements Specialist, at (303) 969-2392.
