Opportunity Summary:
This opportunity, titled "Awareness" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 13 NERO 113), is a National Park Service notice of intent to award under the U.S. Department of the Interior. It is important to note that it is explicitly not a request for applications. In other words, the agency is not inviting the public to compete for this funding; instead, it is publishing a formal notice that it plans to direct funds to a specific project and partner without full and open competition.
The award is structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically means the National Park Service expects to have substantial involvement in the supported work rather than simply issuing a grant and stepping back. The funding activity area is listed under Environment and Natural Resources, and the project is tied to the Jamaica Bay Watertrails effort. The notice explains that the funds will be added to an existing Task Agreement (P13AC00925) under an existing Cooperative Agreement (P11AC90910) with the Regional Plan Association. That detail signals this is an amendment or supplement to an ongoing, already-established relationship and scope of work, rather than a brand-new, openly competed program.
Financially, the announcement indicates a single expected award in the amount of $25,000. The award ceiling and floor are both $25,000, meaning the amount is fixed rather than a range. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated, so the recipient is not expected to provide a required non-federal match as a condition of receiving the funds. The CFDA number associated with the opportunity is 15.943, which is used for federal assistance tracking and reporting.
Eligibility is listed as nonprofits with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). Practically, however, because this is a notice of intent to award tied to a specific existing agreement with the Regional Plan Association, the eligibility language does not function like an open competition. It is more a classification of the type of organization involved than an invitation for other eligible nonprofits to apply.
The timeline reflects the notice nature of the posting. The opportunity was posted and created on August 9, 2013, with an original and current closing date of August 13, 2013, and it was archived on August 14, 2013. Those short dates are consistent with a public notice period rather than a normal application window.
For anyone needing access to the full announcement attachment or having trouble retrieving it electronically, the contact listed is Dawn Mach, Contract Specialist, at (215) 597-0056. The announcement repeatedly directs readers to the attachment under the "Full Announcement" section for complete details, implying that the specific project activities, deliverables, and rationale for the noncompetitive action are documented there.
