Opportunity Summary:

The grant opportunity titled "Process and Catalog Park Central Files Nez Perce National Park, Spalding, Idaho" (Funding Opportunity Number: NPS NOIR9375110007) is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding action intended to support work related to natural resources and National Park System documentation. The project is structured as a cooperative agreement and is specifically tied to the NPS Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), which is a partnership mechanism the NPS uses to collaborate with universities and other organizations on research, technical assistance, and related support activities. In practical terms, the purpose of this award is to fund the processing and cataloging of the park's "central files" for Nez Perce National Park in Spalding, Idaho, meaning the organization, arrangement, and formal description of key administrative or historical records so they can be managed properly and accessed efficiently.

This announcement is not an open, competitive solicitation. It is a notice of intent to make a noncompetitive, single-source award, issued under the Department of the Interior's internal policy authority (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C). The listing makes clear that the NPS is not requesting applications from the public and that eligibility is effectively limited to the identified recipient. The "Eligibility Information" explicitly states that this is a single source award to Washington State University, which means the recipient had already been selected in advance through an allowable noncompetitive justification rather than through a standard competition.

From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity was posted and created on July 13, 2011, with an original and current closing date of July 18, 2011, and an archive date of August 17, 2011. The short window between posting and closing is consistent with a notice-of-intent posting for a pre-selected award rather than an open call for proposals. The estimated total funding amount is $29,454. The opportunity lists no award ceiling and no award floor, which often happens in postings that are primarily informational and tied to a specific anticipated agreement amount. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient would not be expected to provide a non-federal match as a condition of the award.

The funding is associated with CFDA number 15.945, "Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System," which is commonly used for cooperative agreements supporting research, inventorying, documentation, training, and other technical work that advances stewardship and management of NPS resources. While the announcement does not spell out the detailed scope of work beyond the title and brief description, "process and catalog park central files" typically implies arranging records, creating or updating inventories or finding aids, applying appropriate archival or records-management standards, and improving long-term accessibility and preservation for park staff and researchers.

For those who needed help obtaining the full announcement materials at the time, the listed point of contact was William Tallbull, Grant/Agreement Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-969-2891.
