Opportunity Information: Apply for P18AS00666
The funding opportunity titled "Complete a Preliminary Evaluation of Structural Elements and Ancient Plasters at White House and Antelope House Ruin and Determine Treatment Priorities" (Funding Opportunity Number P18AS00666) is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary award under the U.S. Department of the Interior. The activity is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the NPS would expect substantial involvement in the project rather than simply issuing a grant with minimal federal participation. The funding activity category is listed as "Other," which typically signals that the work is specialized and does not fit neatly into more common grant program categories. The listed CFDA number is 15.945, which corresponds to NPS financial assistance programming.
The core purpose of the project is to carry out a preliminary evaluation focused on two main preservation concerns at the White House and Antelope House Ruin sites: (1) structural elements and (2) ancient plasters. The intent is not only to document conditions, but to use the findings to determine treatment priorities. In practical terms, this kind of work commonly includes condition assessment of walls, supports, and other built features, along with evaluating fragile historic plaster surfaces that may be cracking, detaching, eroding, or otherwise deteriorating. The "treatment priorities" component indicates the deliverable is expected to guide decision-making about what stabilization or conservation actions should happen first, based on urgency, risk, significance, and feasibility.
This opportunity is not an open call for applications. The notice states it is a "Notice of Intent to award" to the University of New Mexico under an existing Master Agreement (P17AC01318), and explicitly notes that it is "Not a request for applications." That means the NPS had already identified the intended recipient and the mechanism for making the award, and other parties were not being invited to compete. Eligibility is therefore not being treated as a typical competitive category; it is listed broadly as "Others," with clarification normally provided in an eligibility detail field, but the key point here is that the award was intended for a specific institution.
Financially, the award ceiling is $104,976, with an expected number of awards of 1. This aligns with the project being a targeted, site-specific evaluation effort rather than a broad program distributing funds to multiple recipients. The opportunity record was created on September 10, 2018, and the original closing date field reflects the intent-to-award notice rather than a standard application deadline.
Overall, P18AS00666 describes a single-recipient, NPS-managed cooperative agreement aimed at assessing the condition of structural components and ancient plaster materials at White House and Antelope House Ruin, then translating those findings into a prioritized plan for preservation or stabilization treatments. The emphasis on preliminary evaluation and prioritization suggests the project is designed to support near-term and longer-term conservation planning by establishing a clear understanding of current conditions and the relative urgency of different intervention needs.Apply for P18AS00666
