Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS), within the U.S. Department of the Interior, issued a public Notice of Intent to Award for a project titled "Boston Harbor Islands National Recreation Area youth program." The key point of this notice is that it is not a request for applications and not an open competition. Instead, it serves as formal public notice that NPS planned to fund specific youth education program activities through an existing cooperative relationship, rather than soliciting proposals from the broader public.
This action was tied to Task Agreement J1727100010 under an existing Cooperative Agreement (H1727060019) with the Thompson Island Outward Bound Education Center (TIOBEC). In other words, NPS had already identified TIOBEC as the partner for carrying out the work and intended to proceed without "full and open competition," which typically means the agency was using a justification to make an award directly to a specific organization based on prior agreements, unique qualifications, continuity of services, or similar reasons. The announcement notes that full details were provided in an attachment available under the full announcement materials.
The opportunity was categorized under an education funding activity and used a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, which generally indicates substantial involvement by the federal agency in the project compared with a standard grant. The posting date and creation date were both June 29, 2010, with an original and current closing date of July 4, 2010, and an archive date of August 3, 2010. The short window reflects that the notice functioned mainly as public disclosure of an intended award rather than a competitive application period.
Funding details were specific and fixed: the estimated total funding was $260,140, and both the award ceiling and award floor were also $260,140, indicating NPS anticipated making a single award in that exact amount. The expected number of awards was one. The notice also stated that cost sharing or matching was required, meaning the recipient was expected to contribute non-federal resources (cash or in-kind support) toward the project as part of the overall budget.
Eligible applicants were listed broadly as 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations other than institutions of higher education, but in practice the notice clarifies that the intended recipient was TIOBEC through the referenced cooperative agreement and task agreement. For administrative help accessing the full announcement, the contact listed was Jennifer Fleming, a Contract/Agreements Specialist, with a provided phone number and email reference (the email address itself was not included in the text provided).
