Opportunity Summary:
The funding opportunity titled "Preservation of the Mission Acequia and Compuerta/Lavandaria Structure" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIR8690120012) is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary grant action focused on natural resource preservation within the National Park System. It is being issued under the Cooperative Agreement instrument type and is tied to CFDA (Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance) number 15.945, which covers Cooperative Research and Training Programs related to the resources of the National Park System. The project’s emphasis, based on the title and program context, is the preservation of historic water-management infrastructure associated with a mission acequia (an irrigation ditch system) and a compuerta/lavandaria structure (a gate or control feature and a washing area structure), which are culturally and historically significant features in many Southwestern mission landscapes.
This notice is not a typical competitive grant solicitation. Instead, it is a notice of intent to make a noncompetitive, single-source award through the National Park Service’s Desert Southwest Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). CESUs are cooperative networks designed to connect federal agencies with universities and other partners to carry out research, technical assistance, and education that support resource stewardship. The announcement specifies that the award will be executed as a task agreement under the Desert Southwest CESU, meaning the work is being assigned under an existing cooperative framework rather than opened to general competition.
Eligibility is therefore narrow and predetermined. The announcement states explicitly that it is not a request for applications and that the award is intended for a single recipient: the University of Arizona. The noncompetitive approach is justified under Department of the Interior policy cited as 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C, which provides the basis for certain sole-source or otherwise noncompetitive financial assistance actions when specific criteria are met. Because of this structure, other organizations are not being invited to apply, and the "Eligible Applicants" field is essentially informational, pointing readers to additional eligibility text that clarifies the single-source nature of the award.
In terms of timing and funding level, the opportunity was posted and created on June 27, 2012, with an original and current closing date of July 2, 2012, and an archive date of August 1, 2012. The very short open period is consistent with a notice-of-intent posting for a noncompetitive award rather than a competitive process that requires time for proposal preparation and review. The estimated total funding amount is $26,300, with no stated award ceiling or floor, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The opportunity anticipates one award.
