Opportunity Summary:

The "Enhancement of Visitor Facilities and Circulation Aids at Dismal Nitch" notice (Funding Opportunity Number P12AC301136) is a National Park Service public notice about an intended cooperative agreement, not an open call for applications and not a competitive funding opportunity. The agency explicitly states that the purpose of posting the announcement is to satisfy National Park Service policy requirements for providing public notice when funding project activities exceeding $25,000 will be directed to a single source entity. In other words, it functions more like a transparency and documentation step than a solicitation inviting proposals.

The administering agency is the National Park Service, and the activity is categorized under Cultural Resource Management (CFDA 15.946, Cultural Resources Management). The funding instrument identified is a cooperative agreement, which generally implies a partnership-style award where the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the project, as opposed to a standard grant where involvement is typically more limited. The notice indicates an expected single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an estimated total funding amount of $55,000, and it sets the award ceiling and floor both at $55,000, signaling a fixed planned award amount rather than a range. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed.

Although the notice lists eligibility as nonprofits with IRS 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), the overall framing makes clear that this posting should not be read as an invitation for multiple organizations to apply. Instead, it reflects a planned allocation to one identified entity, with the supporting documents referenced for the full details of the project scope and arrangements. The posting date and creation date are both August 17, 2012, with an original and current closing date of August 24, 2012, and the notice was archived on September 23, 2012, reinforcing that it was a short administrative posting rather than a typical multi-week competitive grant window.
