Opportunity Summary:
The Fur to Fossil Youth Camp listing is not a traditional open government grant competition. It is a public Notice of Intent from the National Park Service (NPS) stating that the agency plans to make an award without full and open competition because a specific organization has unique qualifications under the authority referenced as 505 DM 2. In practical terms, this means the NPS is signaling that it intends to direct the award to a particular partner rather than solicit proposals from the general public. The notice also clarifies that this action is a modification to an existing award, not the start of a brand-new competitive funding round, and interested parties are directed to the full announcement for additional context.
Administratively, the opportunity is labeled as a discretionary cooperative agreement under Funding Opportunity Number P12AC300592. The activity category is Education, and the CFDA number listed is 15.931, Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations, which indicates the type of federal assistance program area the project falls under. The NPS anticipated making one award (Expected Awards: 1), reinforcing that this is a single, specific award action rather than a broader multi-recipient program.
The funding details show an estimated total of $32,000, with an award ceiling of $32,000 and an award floor of $10,000. The listing specifies that there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient would not be required to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of the award. The original and current closing date were both September 6, 2013, with a posted and creation date of August 30, 2013, and the opportunity was archived on October 6, 2013, indicating it is long closed and provided mainly for transparency and record purposes.
Eligibility is listed as nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). However, because the notice emphasizes that the award is intended to be made noncompetitively based on unique qualifications and as a modification to an existing award, the eligibility statement should be read as a general program category rather than an invitation for new applicants to apply in response to this notice.
For access issues or questions about the full announcement, the contact provided is Susan Velie, Contract Specialist, at Olympic National Park Administrative Offices, phone 360-565-3114.
