Opportunity Summary:

The "Essex National Heritage Area" opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 10 NERO 0057) is a National Park Service notice explaining the agencys intent to issue funding through a cooperative agreement, but it is not an open call for proposals. In practical terms, this is a public transparency posting rather than a competitive grant solicitation. The NPS states it plans to fund specific project activities without full and open competition by issuing Modification 0001 to an existing task agreement (J1901090003) under an existing cooperative agreement (H1901080001) with the Essex National Heritage Commission. Because it is a notice of intent to award, outside organizations are not being invited to apply for this funding round.

The award is categorized as a mandatory opportunity using a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, with the activity area labeled "Environment." The announcement indicates there will be one expected award, and the total estimated funding is fixed at $99,750. The floor and ceiling are both $99,750, which signals there is no range and the amount is predetermined. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed, meaning the recipient is not expected to provide a required non-federal match as a condition of the award.

Eligibility is listed as nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), but that eligibility language is largely procedural here because the NPS is not requesting applications. The recipient is effectively identified through the referenced existing cooperative agreement and task agreement with the Essex National Heritage Commission. The posting dates show it was published on September 19, 2010, with an original and current closing date of September 23, 2010, and an archive date of September 24, 2010, reflecting the short window typical of notices that serve mainly to document an intended noncompetitive action.

For anyone seeking more detail, the NPS directs readers to the attachment under the Full Announcement link on Grants.gov, which would contain the specific scope of the project activities tied to the modification. Administrative questions about accessing the full announcement can be directed to the listed contact: Jennifer Fleming, Contract/Agreements Specialist at the National Park Service, phone 215 597 6476.
