Opportunity Summary:
The Yellowstone Archaeology Technical Assistance Project (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIR1580120056) is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding action intended to support natural resource-related work in Yellowstone National Park through archaeological technical assistance. The award is structured as a cooperative agreement issued under the National Park Service Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), which is a partnership framework NPS uses to collaborate with academic and other qualified institutions on research, technical assistance, and training tied to park management needs.
This posting is not an open competition and is not requesting applications from the public. Instead, it functions as a formal notice of intent to make a single, noncompetitive (single-source) award, explicitly citing Department of the Interior policy (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C) as the authority for doing so. The announcement states that the intended recipient is the University of Montana, meaning eligibility is effectively restricted to that institution for this specific action. The listing clarifies this point in its eligibility section by stating that it is not a request for applications and that the action will be a single source award to the University of Montana.
From a funding standpoint, the opportunity lists an estimated total funding amount of $64,860 and anticipates one award. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The listing provides an award ceiling and floor of $0, which is commonly seen in older federal postings when a fixed total amount is referenced elsewhere or when the agency does not use the standard ceiling/floor fields to describe the budget range for that particular notice.
Administratively, the opportunity is categorized under the Natural Resources funding activity area and is associated with CFDA number 15.945, Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System. The posting timeline shows it was posted and created on December 20, 2011, with an original and current closing date of December 26, 2011, and an archive date of January 25, 2012. Because this is a notice of intent for a noncompetitive task agreement under an established CESU mechanism, the short window is consistent with a procedural notice rather than a competitive application period.
For access issues or questions about the full announcement, the listed point of contact is William Tallbull, Grant/Agreement Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-969-2891.
