Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Rancho de las Cabras Pedestrain Survey and Excavations" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIR7600120042) is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding action that was posted on July 2, 2012 and scheduled to close on July 9, 2012, with an archive date of August 8, 2012. It is categorized under Natural Resources and uses a Cooperative Agreement as the funding instrument. The listing shows an estimated total funding amount of $33,978, and it anticipates making one award. No cost sharing or matching is required.
This notice is not a competitive grant solicitation and it is not asking the public to submit applications. Instead, it functions as a formal notice of intent by the National Park Service to make a single-source, noncompetitive award. The announcement explains that the action will result in a task agreement issued under the National Park Service Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). CESU agreements are commonly used by DOI agencies to partner with universities and other research organizations for projects involving research, technical assistance, and resource management support. In this case, the NPS indicates that the noncompetitive approach is being used in line with Department of the Interior policy cited as 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C, which is the internal authority referenced to justify and document noncompetitive financial assistance actions.
Eligibility is therefore limited by design. While the general eligibility field references "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," the opportunity text states clearly that this is a single-source award to the University of Texas at San Antonio. In practical terms, that means the intended recipient has already been identified and the purpose of the posting is to provide transparency and public notice rather than to invite competing proposals.
The project itself, as reflected in the title, concerns pedestrian survey and excavations at Rancho de las Cabras. Although the summary does not provide technical scope details beyond the title, the wording implies field-based archaeological work, likely involving systematic walking surveys to document cultural resources and targeted excavation to investigate and better understand the site. Because it is placed under the CFDA listing 15.945 (Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System), the effort fits within NPS-supported research and resource stewardship activities tied to units or resources of the National Park System.
