Opportunity Summary:
The funding opportunity titled "Process and Catalog Records and Manuscript Collections at Nez Perce NHP" is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary grant action intended to support work connected to the records and manuscript holdings at Nez Perce National Historical Park. The project is structured as a cooperative agreement under the NPS Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), which is a partnership mechanism the NPS uses to carry out research, technical assistance, and related professional services with eligible institutions. In practical terms, the announcement signals planned support for processing and cataloging archival materials, meaning the work likely includes organizing collections, arranging and describing documents, and creating or improving catalog records so park-held historical records can be located, managed, and used more effectively.
This notice is not an open competition and is explicitly described as a "notice of intent" for a noncompetitive award. The NPS cites Department of the Interior policy (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C) as the basis for making a single-source award rather than soliciting proposals from multiple applicants. The announcement also clarifies that it is not a request for applications; instead, it identifies Washington State University as the sole intended recipient. Because it is not an open call, the short open and close dates function more as administrative posting requirements than a real application window for the public.
Key funding details include an estimated total funding amount of $45,211 and an expected number of awards of one. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is not required to provide a cash or in-kind match as a condition of receiving the funds. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as zero, which is common in postings where the agency does not want the listing to be interpreted as setting a competitive range and instead is documenting a predetermined, internally scoped agreement amount. The funding is associated with CFDA number 15.945, Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System, which aligns with CESU-style cooperative work that supports stewardship, documentation, and capacity-building for national park resources.
Administrative details in the source data show the opportunity was posted and created on June 6, 2012, with an original and current closing date of June 11, 2012, and an archive date of July 11, 2012. The agency contact listed for access issues with the full announcement is Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-969-2392. Overall, the listing documents a planned, single-recipient cooperative agreement to fund archival processing and cataloging work for Nez Perce National Historical Park, carried out through the Rocky Mountain CESU framework and awarded noncompetitively to Washington State University.
