Opportunity Summary:
This listing titled "Develop" (Funding Opportunity Number P13AC01150) is not an open, competitive grant solicitation. Instead, it is a Notice of Intent by the National Park Service (NPS) to make a single-source award under Department of the Interior policy (DOI 505 DM 2) based on an entity's unique qualifications. In practical terms, that means the agency is signaling it plans to fund one specific recipient rather than inviting proposals from multiple applicants. The notice also states that the complete rationale and details are contained in the attachments that accompany the Notice of Intent form.
The planned award would be issued as a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates substantial involvement by the federal agency during the project rather than a hands-off grant. The funding category is discretionary, and the activity area is education, specifically under CFDA 15.954, "National Park Service Conservation, Protection, Outreach, and Education." The notice anticipates a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $25,000. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as $25,000, which typically means the project scope and budget are already defined to that exact amount rather than offering a range. No cost sharing or matching funds are required.
Eligibility is listed as state governments, but because this is a single-source intent to award, the "eligible applicants" field should not be read as an open invitation for all states to apply. The timeline reinforces that this is informational rather than competitive: it was posted on September 16, 2013, with an original and current closing date of September 20, 2013, and an archive date of October 20, 2013. These short windows are common for notices that exist primarily to satisfy public posting requirements and provide transparency about an intended noncompetitive award.
For anyone needing access to the full materials or having trouble retrieving the announcement electronically, the contact listed is Susan Velie, Contract Specialist, at Olympic National Park Administration, phone 360-565-3114. The key takeaway is that "Develop" is a notice that NPS intended to issue a $25,000 cooperative agreement to a uniquely qualified single entity, not a standard funding opportunity where multiple applicants submit proposals for consideration.
