Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service Spatial Data Collection on Historic Resources grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP13AC01221) is a discretionary funding action issued by the National Park Service (NPS) under the broader umbrella of cooperative research and training support for resources of the National Park System (CFDA 15.945). The purpose of the action is to support spatial data collection efforts related to historic resources, meaning the project work is centered on gathering and/or improving location-based information (such as GIS data) that helps document, manage, and protect cultural or historic assets tied to NPS responsibilities. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates substantial involvement by the federal agency in the project as it is carried out, rather than a more hands-off grant.
This announcement is not an open, competitive solicitation. It is explicitly described as a notice of intent to make a noncompetitive, single-source award under the National Park Service Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). The notice cites Department of the Interior policy (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C) as the basis for proceeding without competition. In practical terms, that means the NPS had already identified the intended recipient and was publishing the notice to document that intent rather than inviting multiple applicants to apply.
The expected number of awards is one, and the eligible applicant category is listed broadly as "Others," with the eligibility clarification stating that this is a single-source award to Archaeology Southwest. Cost sharing or matching is not required. The estimated total funding amount is $32,996, and both the award ceiling and award floor are listed as $0, which commonly appears in notices where the specific budget parameters are handled through the associated task agreement and supporting documents rather than through a standard competitive range.
Timing details show the opportunity was posted and created on August 19, 2013, with an original and current closing date of August 23, 2013, and an archive date of September 22, 2013. Because it was not a request for applications, the short posting window functions more as a public notice period than a typical application cycle. Anyone needing the full announcement but having trouble accessing it electronically was directed to contact Kelly Adams, a Grants Management Specialist, at 303-969-2392 for assistance.
