Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service funding opportunity titled "National Park Service Scan and Preserve Museum Collections for Capitol Reef National Park, Mesa Verde National Park, Intermountain Region Natural Resources Program and Intermountain Region Museum Services" is a discretionary cooperative agreement action focused on natural resources and museum collection stewardship. The project centers on scanning and preserving museum collections connected to multiple National Park Service units and programs, specifically Capitol Reef National Park, Mesa Verde National Park, the Intermountain Region Natural Resources Program, and the Intermountain Region Museum Services. While the public-facing title emphasizes digitization and preservation, the key point is that this notice is administrative in nature: it announces the government s intent to make a specific award rather than soliciting competing proposals.
This notice is issued under the National Park Service Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit, commonly referred to as the Colorado Plateau CESU, and the planned award will be made through a task agreement under that CESU framework. The announcement explicitly states it is a notice of intent for a noncompetitive (single-source) award, cited as being in accordance with Department of the Interior policy at DOI 505 DM 2.12C. In practical terms, that means the agency is documenting that it intends to proceed without competition due to an allowable justification under DOI assistance award rules, rather than running an open application process.
The opportunity is identified by Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIJ8100100402 and was posted and created on August 31, 2010, with an original and current closing date of September 4, 2010, and an archive date of October 4, 2010. The estimated total funding amount is $74,423, and the listing shows no cost sharing or matching requirement. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as zero, which is typical for records that function as notices of intent or administrative postings rather than competitive grant solicitations with defined minimum and maximum award ranges. The record also lists Expected Awards as 0, reinforcing that it is not structured as a competitive program expecting multiple awards.
Eligibility is not broadly open despite the generic category listing; the announcement states plainly that this funding announcement is not a request for applications. It further specifies that it is a single source award to the University of Arizona. So, even though the general eligibility field references "Others (see text...)," the controlling language clarifies there is no opportunity for outside applicants to submit proposals because the recipient has already been designated.
For parties trying to obtain the full text or supporting attachment referenced in the notice, the contact provided is Jenny Sommer, Agreements Specialist, at 303 969 2392. The notice also indicates that if there are problems accessing the full announcement electronically, that contact is the appropriate point of assistance.
