Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS), within the U.S. Department of the Interior, posted a formal Notice of Intent to Award for a project titled "2010 voyage of the Lois McClure as part of the Champlain Quadricentennial events" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 10 NERO 0028). The purpose of the notice was to publicly document that the NPS planned to fund specific project activities tied to commemorative events marking the Champlain Quadricentennial. The posting makes clear that it was not a competitive grant solicitation and not a request for applications; instead, it served as transparency notice that the agency intended to proceed with an award without full and open competition.
The planned funding was to be issued as a cooperative agreement, structured as a task agreement (J181810B024) under an existing cooperative agreement (H1818080024). The identified partners were the Lake Champlain Maritime Museum (LCMM) and the New England Interstate Water Pollution Control Commission (NEIWPCC), acting on behalf of the Lake Champlain Basin Program (LCBP). In other words, rather than opening a new competition, NPS intended to support the 2010 "Lois McClure" voyage through established cooperative relationships already in place with these organizations, which is typical when an agency wants to continue or extend work that aligns with an ongoing program partnership.
Financially, the notice described a single expected award totaling $250,000, with the award floor and ceiling both set at $250,000, indicating a fixed planned amount rather than a range. No cost sharing or matching funds were required. The opportunity was categorized under a mandatory posting and listed its activity category as "Other," clarified as events celebrating the Champlain Quadricentennial. While the eligibility field lists nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status, the substance of the notice emphasizes that the award was intended for the named cooperators under the existing agreement, reinforcing that the announcement was informational rather than an open call.
The timeline reflects its nature as a notice rather than a standard application window. It was posted and created on July 21, 2010, with an original and current closing date of July 26, 2010, and then archived on July 27, 2010. This short interval is consistent with public-notice postings meant to document an intended sole-source or non-competitive action, not to collect proposals.
For anyone needing the complete details, the notice directed readers to an attachment under the "Full Announcement" section (as hosted on grants.gov at the time). It also provided a point of contact for access issues: Jennifer Fleming, Contract/Agreements Specialist at the National Park Service, reachable by phone at 215-597-6476.
