Opportunity Summary:

The National Park Service Under the Rim Archeological Inventory opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIJ1330100050) is a discretionary cooperative agreement in the Natural Resources category. The National Park Service (NPS) posted it on August 9, 2010, with an original and final closing date of August 14, 2010, and it was later archived on September 13, 2010. The notice lists one expected award and an estimated total funding amount of $29,500. No cost sharing or matching is required. Although the posting format resembles a typical grant listing, it is not an open competition and it is not seeking applications from the general public.

The purpose of the announcement is to notify the public that the NPS intends to issue a task agreement under the Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). CESUs are cooperative partnership frameworks used by federal agencies to work with universities and other partners on research, technical assistance, and resource management projects. In this case, the project is an archeological inventory focused on an "Under the Rim" area, which typically refers to fieldwork documenting archeological resources within a specific landscape or management zone (for example, locating sites, recording site attributes, mapping, and producing inventory documentation that supports long-term stewardship and compliance).

This notice is explicitly described as a notice of intent for a noncompetitive award, citing DOI policy (505 DM 2.12C) as the authority for making a single-source award rather than conducting a competitive process. The eligibility field reflects that reality: while it lists "Others" in a general sense, the announcement clarifies that it is a single source award specifically to Southern Utah University. In other words, the posting is primarily an administrative transparency step rather than a call for proposals, and other organizations are not being invited to apply for the funding under this notice.

Key administrative details include an award ceiling and floor both listed as $0, which often appears in older postings where the system fields were not used to define a range even though an estimated total project amount is provided elsewhere. The assistance listing shows CFDA 00.000 (Not Elsewhere Classified), meaning it is not tied to a standard CFDA program number in the way many recurring grant programs are.

For anyone needing access to the full announcement materials, the listed point of contact is William Tallbull, Grant/Agreement Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-969-2891.

What is the main takeaway for prospective applicants?

This posting should be read as a public notice that the NPS intends to fund a specific partner through a CESU task agreement for an archeological inventory project, not as a call for proposals.
