Opportunity Summary:
This notice describes a National Park Service (NPS), U.S. Department of the Interior funding action titled "Continue the Partnership for the Champlain Valley Heritage Partnership." It is explicitly a Notice of Intent to Award, meaning it is not an open call and not a request for applications. In practical terms, the NPS is using the announcement to publicly document that it plans to move forward with a specific cooperative agreement rather than conduct a competitive solicitation.
The planned award is a Cooperative Agreement (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 12 NERO 0134) in the education, environment, and natural resources space, tied to the National Heritage Area program (CFDA 15.939). The work is intended to support ongoing partnership activities connected to the Champlain Valley Heritage Partnership, with the cooperator identified as the New England Interstate Water Pollution Control Commission, acting on behalf of the Lake Champlain Basin Program. The notice indicates the agreement will be executed without full and open competition, which is typically used when an agency has a specific partner or statutory/programmatic rationale for continuing an established relationship and project approach. The announcement also notes that full project details are contained in an attachment under the full announcement referenced in the original posting.
Financially, the opportunity is structured as a single expected award (Expected Awards: 1) with an estimated total funding amount of $291,500. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as $291,500, which signals the agency already knows the exact intended award amount rather than a range. Cost sharing or matching is required, meaning the recipient is expected to contribute non-federal resources (cash and/or allowable in-kind support) according to the terms of the cooperative agreement.
Eligibility information is included, but it does not function the way it would in a competitive grant competition because the recipient is essentially pre-identified through the notice. The eligible applicant category is listed as nonprofits with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). Key dates show the notice was posted on September 1, 2012, with an original and current closing date of September 6, 2012, and an archive date of September 7, 2012. Those dates reflect the administrative window for the public notice rather than a period to prepare and submit applications, since the announcement is not soliciting proposals.
For questions or help accessing the full announcement materials, the listed contact is Keith Zotti, Partnership Program Specialist, at 215-597-9153, associated with the Partnership for the Champlain Valley Heritage Partnership.
