Opportunity Summary:

The National Park Service (NPS) posted a discretionary funding opportunity titled "Fee Collection" under Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOI MANA R3840110004. Although it appears in the grants listing system like a typical funding announcement, it is not an open solicitation and is not asking the public to apply. Instead, it is a notice of intent for a single, noncompetitive cooperative agreement award. The NPS states this approach is being used in accordance with Department of the Interior policy cited as DOI 505 DM 2.12C, which covers circumstances where a noncompetitive, single-source award is appropriate. The announcement also notes that additional details are provided in an attached document.

The anticipated award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which generally means NPS expects to have substantial involvement in carrying out the work rather than simply issuing funds with minimal federal participation. The funding activity is categorized as "Other," with the agency clarifying that the focus is Fee Collection and Cultural Resource Management. The opportunity is associated with CFDA number 15.946, Cultural Resources Management, indicating that the work supported relates to managing, protecting, interpreting, or otherwise supporting cultural resources, with fee collection activities likely tied to visitor services or revenue-related operations connected to those resources.

Only one award is expected, and the estimated total funding amount listed is $80,000. The listing shows no cost sharing or matching requirement. Both the award ceiling and award floor are shown as $0, which often occurs in notices that are informational rather than competitive, or where the final amount is addressed in the attached agreement documentation rather than in the synopsis fields.

Eligibility is explicitly limited because this is a single-source action. The notice states the funding announcement is not a request for applications and identifies Eastern National, a nonprofit organization, as the intended recipient. That means other organizations are not eligible to compete for this funding under this notice, and there is no application package to submit in response.

Key dates in the synopsis include a posted date and creation date of September 8, 2011, an original and current closing date of September 11, 2011, and an archive date of October 11, 2011. These dates reflect the short posting window typical of noncompetitive notices of intent, which are often published primarily for transparency rather than to solicit proposals.

For questions or help accessing the full announcement attachments, the NPS provides a point of contact: Rita Mihalik, Contract Specialist, reachable at 301-432-7890 or via email at ritamihalik@nps.gov.
