Opportunity Summary:
This notice describes a National Park Service (NPS), U.S. Department of the Interior, intent to make a single cooperative agreement award for a project titled "Ethnohistory of Ethnic Whalemen and their Communities in the New Bedford Area." It is explicitly not a request for applications or a competitive grant solicitation. Instead, it serves as a public posting that NPS plans to enter into a specific agreement without full and open competition, meaning the agency has already identified its intended partner and is publishing the decision as part of required transparency procedures.
The planned award is structured as a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates an arrangement where the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the project as it is carried out, as opposed to a standard grant where the recipient operates with more independence. The opportunity is categorized under discretionary funding, with activity areas listed as education and environment, and it falls under CFDA 15.945, which covers Cooperative Research and Training Programs tied to the resources of the National Park System. In practical terms, the project is positioned as research and public-history work that supports NPS resource stewardship and interpretation, likely contributing to how NPS presents and preserves the cultural history connected to New Bedford and its maritime heritage.
Funding details are fixed and straightforward: NPS anticipated one award with an estimated total funding amount of $68,992, and both the award ceiling and award floor are also $68,992. That setup signals a predetermined budget for a single, specific scope of work rather than a range of possible awards. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated, so the federal funding amount is not conditioned on the recipient contributing additional non-federal dollars as a match.
The sole eligible applicant category listed is public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, and the named cooperator is The University of Massachusetts. The notice specifies the project would be executed through Task Agreement P12AC10828 under Cooperative Agreement H4503090700, again reinforcing that this is an administrative notice tied to a particular partner and agreement vehicle rather than an open call to the public. The posting and timing also reflect that intent-to-award format: it was posted July 2, 2012, with a very short window until July 7, 2012, and then archived July 8, 2012, consistent with a notice period rather than a full application cycle.
For anyone trying to access the complete documentation, the announcement indicates that full details were provided in an attachment referenced under the "Full Announcement" section of the listing. The point of contact for issues obtaining the full announcement is Dawn Mach, Contract Specialist, at 215-597-0056.
