Opportunity Summary:
This notice describes a National Park Service (NPS) funding action for the Essex National Heritage Area under Funding Opportunity Number NPS 12 NERO 0073. It is explicitly a Notice of Intent to Award, meaning it is not a call for applications and not a competitive grant round. Instead, NPS is announcing that it plans to enter into a cooperative agreement arrangement for specific project activities without full and open competition. The planned action is to issue Task Agreement P12AC10532 under Cooperative Agreement H1901080001 with the named cooperator, Essex National Heritage Commission, Inc., which is the designated partner organization associated with the Essex National Heritage Area.
The opportunity is categorized as mandatory and uses a Cooperative Agreement as the funding instrument, indicating that NPS anticipates substantial federal involvement in carrying out the work rather than simply providing funds with minimal ongoing engagement. The program aligns with community development as well as environment and natural resources objectives, and it falls under CFDA 15.939, National Heritage Area Federal Financial Assistance. Only one award is expected, and the funding amount is fixed: an estimated total of $628,000, with an award floor and ceiling both set at $628,000. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed for this award.
Timing details reflect that this was a short public-notice window rather than an application period. The notice was posted and created on July 6, 2012, had an original and current closing date of July 11, 2012, and was archived on July 12, 2012. While the eligibility field lists nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), the content of the notice makes clear that the intended recipient is already identified and the purpose of the posting is transparency about a non-competitive agreement, not solicitation of proposals from other organizations.
For anyone needing additional documentation, the announcement points to an attachment accessible through the "Full Announcement" section where complete details would be provided. The listed contact for assistance in accessing the full announcement is Keith Zotti, Partnership Program Specialist, reachable by phone at 215-597-9153, with the reference to "Heritage Essex" in the contact line.
