Opportunity Summary:
The Shenandoah National Park Cataloguing Archaeological Collections opportunity is a National Park Service (NPS), U.S. Department of the Interior funding notice that serves as a formal "Notice of Intent to Award" rather than an open solicitation. In practical terms, it is not a request for applications and is not inviting competitive proposals. Instead, it publicly announces the NPS plan to enter into a specific cooperative agreement without full and open competition for work related to cataloguing archaeological collections associated with Shenandoah National Park.
The award is structured as a Cooperative Agreement, reflecting a project where the NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the work as it is carried out, which is typical for research, training, or collections-focused partnerships. The identified cooperator for this agreement is James Madison University, and the agreement is referenced as Cooperative Agreement H4840080001. The opportunity falls under the Environment and Natural Resources activity category and is connected to CFDA 15.945, Cooperative Research and Training Programs, Resources of the National Park System, which generally supports projects that help document, manage, preserve, and interpret resources within the national park system.
Funding for this effort is fixed and modest in scale, with an estimated total of $29,000. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as $29,000, indicating the NPS anticipated making exactly one award at that exact amount. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated for the recipient. The listing indicates an expected number of awards of one, consistent with the pre-identified partner and the non-competitive intent.
In terms of timing, the notice was posted and created on July 9, 2012, with an original and current closing date of July 14, 2012, and an archive date of July 15, 2012. Those dates function more as administrative publication windows than as a deadline for applicants, because the notice explicitly states that it is not soliciting applications. Eligibility is listed as private institutions of higher education, aligning with the designated partner organization type, but the intent is clearly to proceed with the named university rather than to open competition to other eligible entities.
Anyone needing help accessing the full announcement materials is directed to contact Keith Zotti, Partnership Program Specialist, at 215-597-9153. The notice also references an attachment available under the "Full Announcement" section for complete project details, implying that the specific scope of cataloguing tasks, deliverables, timelines, and roles are described there rather than in the abbreviated public summary.
