Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS) funding opportunity titled "Stabilize Archeological and Historic Artifacts" (Funding Opportunity Number: NPS NOIR8100120322) is a discretionary, natural-resources focused cooperative agreement intended to support work that stabilizes archaeological and historic artifacts within the context of the National Park System. The notice was posted on July 11, 2012, with an original and final closing date of July 16, 2012, and it was later archived on August 15, 2012. The estimated total funding associated with this action is $38,738. No cost sharing or matching is required, and the listing indicates one expected award.
This notice is not an open competition and is explicitly not a request for applications. Instead, it is a notice of intent to make a single-source, noncompetitive award to the University of Arizona. The award would be issued as a task agreement under the National Park Service Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). The announcement cites the Department of the Interior authority for noncompetitive actions, specifically 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C, as the basis for proceeding without competition. Although the general Grants.gov record lists eligibility as "Others" with clarification in an additional eligibility field, the eligibility is effectively restricted because the agency states the award will be made to a single, named recipient.
The program is tied to CFDA 15.945, which covers Cooperative Research and Training Programs related to resources of the National Park System. While the public-facing synopsis does not spell out the specific scope of work beyond stabilizing archaeological and historic artifacts, the use of a CESU task agreement and the CFDA context strongly indicate that the project is intended to support NPS mission needs through a partner institution, likely involving specialized technical expertise, research support, training, and/or applied conservation activities related to preserving cultural resources.
For those who needed access to the complete announcement details at the time, the listed point of contact was Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-969-2392, with instructions to call if there were difficulties accessing the full announcement electronically.
