Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "NPS NOIP15AC01086 Catalog and Store BIA Collections at the Western Archeological and Conservation Center" is a National Park Service (NPS) funding action focused on natural resources work tied to museum and archeological collections management. The core purpose is to support the cataloging and proper storage of Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) collections at the Western Archeological and Conservation Center, which is an NPS facility known for curating, conserving, and managing archeological and museum holdings. In practical terms, the work implied by the title typically involves organizing collections, ensuring documentation and catalog records are complete and standardized, and placing items into appropriate long-term storage conditions that meet federal curation standards.
This posting is not a competitive grant announcement and it is not requesting applications from the public. Instead, it is explicitly described as a notice of intent to make a noncompetitive, single-source award under the Department of the Interior (DOI) authority referenced as 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C. The announcement also states that the award will be issued as a task agreement under the National Park Service Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). CESU agreements are commonly used to partner with specific eligible organizations for research, technical assistance, and related resource management needs, and task agreements are used to define a specific project under that broader cooperative framework.
The funding instrument type is a cooperative agreement, which generally means the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement during performance of the project (for example, coordination on deliverables, technical direction, or collaboration on methods and standards), rather than simply issuing funds and receiving a final report. The program is associated with CFDA number 15.945, "Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System," indicating the work aligns with NPS resource stewardship, research, training, and technical support objectives.
The total estimated funding amount is $46,638, and both the award ceiling and award floor are listed as $46,638, meaning the award amount is fixed at that level for this action. The expected number of awards is one. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of the award.
Eligibility is effectively limited because the announcement identifies this as a single-source action. While the general eligibility field says "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," the clarification provided is that this is a single source award to Archaeology Southwest. That means Archaeology Southwest is the intended recipient and the posting functions primarily as a transparency and public notice step rather than an open solicitation.
In terms of timing, the opportunity was posted and created on June 25, 2015. The original and current closing date is July 5, 2015, and the archive date is August 4, 2015. These dates fit the pattern of notices of intent or noncompetitive postings, where the "closing date" is often more of an administrative window rather than a true application deadline, since applications are not being solicited.
The federal agency listed is the National Park Service. The description repeats the same central points: it is a notice of intent, it will be a noncompetitive award under DOI policy, and it will be implemented through a CESU task agreement. A grants management specialist, Katie Gaertner, is identified as the contact for assistance accessing the full announcement electronically, though the phone number is not fully provided in the source text.
