Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS) funding opportunity titled "Prepare a National Register Nomination for Aztec Ruins Archaeology District" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIR7481120015) is a discretionary cooperative agreement intended to support work related to natural and cultural resource documentation within the National Park System. The stated purpose is to produce a National Register of Historic Places nomination for the Aztec Ruins Archaeology District, a formal federal historic preservation document that typically compiles the site or district's significance, physical description, integrity, boundaries, and supporting historical and archaeological context in order to evaluate and secure listing (or updated documentation) in the National Register.
This notice is explicitly a notice of intent to make a noncompetitive, single-source award under the National Park Service Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). The announcement cites Department of the Interior policy (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C) as the authority for proceeding without competition. In practical terms, that means the NPS had already identified the intended recipient and was not soliciting proposals from the general public. The announcement confirms this by stating that it is not a request for applications and that the single-source award will be made to Archaeology Southwest.
The opportunity was categorized as a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant, which generally indicates that NPS anticipated substantial involvement in the project, such as coordination on scope, review of draft materials, guidance on standards, data needs, and final deliverable acceptance. The activity category is listed under Natural Resources, and the CFDA listing provided (15.945, Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System) aligns with NPS support for research, documentation, and stewardship activities that inform management of park resources, including cultural and archaeological assets.
Financially, the estimated total funding amount for the single expected award was $40,000. The listing shows no cost sharing or matching requirement, and both the award ceiling and floor are shown as $0, which commonly appears in older postings when fixed ceilings/floors are not used in the standard fields, even though the total estimate is provided elsewhere in the notice.
From an administrative timeline standpoint, the opportunity was posted and created on June 8, 2012, with an original and current closing date of June 13, 2012, and an archive date of July 13, 2012. The short window reflects the fact that this was not an open competition; rather, it served as a public notice that NPS intended to proceed with a noncompetitive task agreement under the CESU framework.
Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," but the eligibility narrative clarifies that there is no open eligibility because the announcement is not requesting applications. The only identified recipient is Archaeology Southwest. For access issues or questions about obtaining the full announcement materials, the notice provides a point of contact: Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-969-2392.
