Opportunity Summary:
The funding opportunity titled "National Park Service Stabilize High Priority Metals at Chiricahua National Monument and Fort Bowie National Historic Site" (Funding Opportunity Number: NPS NOIR124211026) is a National Park Service discretionary grant action that was issued as a cooperative agreement under the Natural Resources funding activity area. The stated purpose is to support work focused on stabilizing "high priority metals" at two specific National Park Service units in Arizona: Chiricahua National Monument and Fort Bowie National Historic Site. In practical terms, this kind of project typically centers on the preservation and stabilization of important metal resources in park settings, which can include historic metal features, structures, artifacts, or other metal elements that are considered at risk due to corrosion, environmental exposure, or deterioration. The notice itself indicates that the project will be implemented through a task agreement under the National Park Service Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), which is a cooperative framework NPS uses to partner with academic and research institutions for technical and resource-management work.
This announcement is not an open competition and is explicitly described as a notice of intent to make a noncompetitive award. The authority cited is Department of the Interior policy (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C), which allows for certain awards to be made without competition under defined circumstances. Consistent with that, the eligibility language makes clear that this is not a request for applications and that it is intended as a single-source award to the University of Arizona. Because it is single-source, there is no practical applicant pool for other organizations despite the general "Eligible Applicants" field referencing "Others" with clarification provided in the eligibility notes.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity was posted and created on September 13, 2011, with an original and current closing date of September 17, 2011, and it was archived on October 17, 2011. The short window between posting and closing aligns with the fact that this is not a competitive solicitation; instead, it functions as a formal public notice documenting the agency's intent to proceed with a specific partner. The expected number of awards is one, and the estimated total funding amount is $40,345. The listing shows no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is not required to provide a financial match as a condition of the award. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as zero, which often appears in records where a fixed total is provided elsewhere or where ceiling/floor fields are not used in the same way for that announcement format, but the estimated total funding amount provides the main funding figure.
The opportunity is associated with CFDA number 15.945, identified as Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System, which is consistent with CESU-based cooperative agreements that support research, technical assistance, and resource stewardship activities for national park units. For anyone needing access to the full announcement details, the contact listed is Jenny Sommer, Agreements Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-969-2392, with a note indicating she can assist if there are issues accessing the announcement electronically.
