Opportunity Summary:
The "Boston Harbor Islands National Recreation Area 2013 2014 Green Ambassadors" notice is a National Park Service (NPS), U.S. Department of the Interior funding action that was posted mainly to inform the public of an intended award, not to solicit proposals. The announcement is explicitly labeled a "Notice of Intent to Award" and states that it is not a request for applications. In other words, there was no open competition and no opportunity for new applicants to apply through Grants.gov for this particular funding action; it functioned as a transparency notice explaining that NPS planned to add funding to an existing agreement.
The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, and the notice describes a modification that adds funds to an already established Cooperative Management Agreement (CMA) identified as P11AC40304. The recipient named in the notice is Thompson Island Outward Bound Education Center (TIOBEC), and the announcement characterizes the action as a sole source award to a nonprofit entity. While the listing includes a general eligible applicant category (501(c)(3) nonprofits other than institutions of higher education), the eligibility section makes clear that this specific opportunity was not broadly available because it was being directed to a single organization without full and open competition.
Financially, the notice indicates an estimated total funding amount of $78,000, with the award floor and ceiling both set at $78,000, implying a single fixed award amount rather than a range. The expected number of awards is one. The listing also notes a cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient was expected to contribute non-federal resources (cash and/or in-kind support) as part of the project, consistent with how many cooperative agreements operate when there is substantial partner involvement.
Administratively, the opportunity is identified by Funding Opportunity Number NPS 13 NERO 0034 and is associated with CFDA number 15.947 (Boston Harbor Islands Partnership). The opportunity category is discretionary, and the activity category is listed as "Other," with clarification that the purpose is to provide public notice of the intent to fund specified project activities outside of open competition. The posting date was May 31, 2013, with an original and current closing date of June 4, 2013, and an archive date of June 5, 2013, reflecting a short public notice window typical for this kind of intent-to-award announcement.
For anyone seeking the complete rationale and details of the planned award modification, the notice directs readers to the attachment available through the "Full Announcement" link. The point of contact listed is Jennifer Fleming, Contract/Agreements Specialist at the National Park Service, with a phone number provided for assistance accessing the full announcement or related administrative questions.
