Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Treatment of Painted Plasters in the Mission Church, Tumacacori National Historical Park" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIR8690120004), is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding action structured as a cooperative agreement under CFDA 15.945, which covers cooperative research and training programs related to resources of the National Park System. The work falls under the funding activity category of Natural Resources and is focused on treatment work for painted plaster surfaces in the historic mission church at Tumacacori National Historical Park, a site where conservation of historic fabric is a core preservation priority.
The announcement is not an open solicitation and is explicitly not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as a notice of intent by the NPS to make a single, noncompetitive award. The intended recipient is the University of New Mexico, and the award is to be made through the National Park Service Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) via a task agreement. The noncompetitive approach is justified under Department of the Interior policy, specifically 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C, which lays out circumstances under which single-source awards may be appropriate. Because it is a single-source notice rather than a competitive opportunity, other organizations are not being invited to apply, even though the general "Eligible Applicants" field is shown as "Others" with clarification provided in the eligibility information.
In terms of funding details, the estimated total funding amount is listed as $70,000, with one expected award. Both the award ceiling and award floor are shown as $0, which typically indicates that a specific fixed minimum/maximum was not published in that field even though an estimated total is provided elsewhere in the listing. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is not expected to provide a matching contribution as a condition of the award, based on the posted grant record.
The timeline reflects how narrowly targeted this notice was. It was posted and created on February 29, 2012, with an original and current closing date of March 5, 2012, and an archive date of April 4, 2012. Those dates are consistent with an administrative notice intended to document and process a planned single-source cooperative agreement rather than to run a typical multi-week competitive application period. Anyone needing access to the full announcement, particularly if they had technical issues retrieving it electronically, was directed to contact William Tallbull, Grant/Agreement Specialist, at 303-969-2891.
Overall, the key takeaway is that this listing documents the NPS intent to fund a specific conservation-related project at Tumacacori National Historical Park through a CESU task agreement with the University of New Mexico, using a noncompetitive process allowed under DOI policy, with approximately $70,000 anticipated in total federal support and no matching requirement.
