Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "National Park Service Structural Condition Analysis of Alcove House Kiva, Phase 2" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIR7127110059) is a discretionary funding action issued by the National Park Service (NPS) under the umbrella of cooperative research and training programs for resources of the National Park System (CFDA 15.945). The work is categorized under Natural Resources and is structured as a Cooperative Agreement, with an anticipated single award. The total estimated funding amount for this action is $33,502, and there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement associated with it. Notably, the listing shows an award ceiling and floor of $0, which often indicates that the precise budget is controlled through the task agreement rather than a competitive range-based award framework.
This notice is not a typical open solicitation and is explicitly not a request for applications. Instead, it is a notice of intent to make a noncompetitive, single-source award to the University of New Mexico. The NPS states that the award will be made through a task agreement under the Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), a cooperative network commonly used by the Department of the Interior to partner with universities and other organizations for research, technical assistance, and resource management support. The noncompetitive nature of the award is justified under Department of the Interior policy (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C), which provides the administrative basis for proceeding without full and open competition in specific circumstances.
In practical terms, the opportunity concerns Phase 2 of a structural condition analysis focused on the Alcove House Kiva. While the summary text does not provide technical scope details, the title indicates the purpose is to evaluate the structural condition of a culturally significant architectural feature located within the National Park System, likely to inform preservation, stabilization, or management decisions. Because it is a CESU task agreement, the work would typically involve specialized expertise, applied field assessment, documentation, analysis, and reporting delivered in coordination with NPS resource managers.
Key dates show the opportunity was posted and created on June 21, 2011, with an original and current closing date of June 25, 2011, and an archive date of July 25, 2011. The short interval between posting and closing aligns with the fact that this is not an open competition and is instead a formal public notice tied to an already-identified recipient. Eligibility is therefore effectively limited for this action, with the official eligibility statement clarifying that it is a single-source award to the University of New Mexico.
