Opportunity Summary:
The Hudson River Valley National Heritage Area grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 12 NERO 0035) is a National Park Service (NPS), U.S. Department of the Interior notice stating the agency's intent to make a single cooperative agreement award. It is explicitly labeled as a Notice of Intent to Award and not a request for applications, meaning the NPS was not seeking competitive proposals from the public. Instead, the posting serves as formal public notification that the NPS planned to move forward with a specific agreement without full and open competition.
The planned award was structured as a Cooperative Agreement under CFDA 15.939 (National Heritage Area Federal Financial Assistance) and was categorized under education and environment. The identified cooperator was the Hudson River Valley Greenway Communities Council and Greenway Heritage Conservancy (HRV). The notice references a specific task agreement (P12AC10348) tied to a larger cooperative agreement (H17952100001), indicating the work would be carried out through defined project tasks under an existing or overarching partnership framework.
Financially, the announcement listed an estimated total funding amount of $491,000, with both the award ceiling and award floor set at $491,000, which signals a fixed, single award amount rather than a range. A cost sharing or matching requirement applied, meaning the recipient would be expected to contribute non-federal resources (cash or in-kind, depending on the agreement terms) to support the project activities. The opportunity anticipated exactly one award.
Eligibility in the posted listing was limited to state governments, consistent with the nature of many National Heritage Area arrangements that often involve state-chartered entities or state-level partners coordinating regional heritage, conservation, and education initiatives. The posting dates show it was published on May 8, 2012, with a closing date of May 13, 2012, and archived on May 14, 2012. Because this was not an open competition, those dates mainly reflect the public notice window rather than a typical application submission period.
For access issues related to the full announcement attachment, the notice provided a point of contact: Dawn Mach, Contract Specialist, at 215-597-0056.
