Opportunity Summary:
The "Boston Harbor Islands - Taxonomist in the Parks" opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 12 NERO 0065) is a National Park Service (NPS), U.S. Department of the Interior notice stating the agency's intent to make a single, specific award rather than opening a competitive application process. It is explicitly labeled as a Notice of Intent to Award and not a request for applications, meaning the NPS is publishing this announcement primarily for transparency and public record purposes, not to solicit proposals from the broader public.
This action is structured as a continuation award using a Cooperative Agreement, with work to be carried out under Task Agreement P12AC10735 tied to Cooperative Agreement H1727100008. The identified cooperator is the Boston Harbor Alliance, and the announcement indicates the NPS intends to proceed without full and open competition. In practical terms, that means the NPS had already selected (or previously established) the partner and is continuing or extending project activities through that existing relationship.
The project sits within the Environment and Natural Resources category and is associated with CFDA number 15.947, listed as the Boston Harbor Islands Partnership program area. The total expected funding is $60,000, and the award amount is fixed: the award ceiling and floor are both $60,000, with one expected award. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is not required to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of receiving the award.
Eligibility is listed as nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), but because this is not an open solicitation and is instead an intent to award to a named partner, that eligibility language functions more as a classification of the intended recipient type than an invitation for other organizations to apply. Key dates reflect the administrative posting and archiving timeline: it was posted and created on June 30, 2012, with a closing date of July 5, 2012, and archived July 6, 2012. Those dates generally indicate the period the notice was publicly visible, not a window for competitive submissions.
For anyone trying to access the complete project description and detailed scope, the notice directs readers to an attachment under the "Full Announcement" section. If the attachment cannot be accessed electronically, the point of contact provided is Dawn Mach, Contract Specialist, reachable by phone at 215-597-0056.
