Opportunity Summary:

The Baltimore City Heritage Area opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 10 NERO 0064) is a National Park Service notice issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior to publicly document the agency's intent to make a specific award. It is explicitly labeled as a NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD and, importantly, it is not a request for applications. In practical terms, this means there is no open competition, no solicitation for new proposals, and no opportunity for outside organizations to apply through Grants.gov for this particular funding action.

The award is structured as a cooperative agreement under the funding activity category of regional development, with an anticipated single award. The National Park Service indicates it will fund project activities through Task Agreement J44506100872 under an already existing Cooperative Agreement (H4506090868). The identified cooperator for this action is the Association of Partners for Public Land, Inc., which aligns with the eligibility class listed for the posting: nonprofits holding 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). Because the work is being issued as a task agreement under an existing cooperative agreement, the notice functions mainly as transparency about the government's planned use of funds rather than an invitation to compete for them.

Financially, the announcement lists total estimated funding of $150,000, with both the award ceiling and award floor set at $150,000. That configuration signals a fixed, predetermined amount for the single intended award rather than a range. The posting also states there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is not expected to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of receiving this specific award.

In terms of timing and status, the opportunity was posted and created on September 22, 2010, with an original and current closing date of September 27, 2010, and an archive date of September 28, 2010. Those dates are consistent with how intent-to-award notices are often handled: they appear briefly to satisfy public notice requirements and then are archived, since the action is not a competitive grant round.

For anyone trying to locate additional specifics about the scope of work or project deliverables, the notice points readers to the attachment available under the "Full Announcement" link on Grants.gov for complete details. If there are issues accessing the full announcement electronically, the listed point of contact is Jennifer Fleming, Contract/Agreements Specialist at the National Park Service, reachable by phone at 215-597-6476.
