Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Implement River Management Plan FY 12 Upper Delaware Scenic and Recreational River" is a National Park Service (NPS) notice stating the agency's intent to make an award, rather than an open funding competition. The announcement is explicitly labeled as a NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD and notes that it is not a request for applications. In practical terms, this means the NPS is using the posting to satisfy public notice requirements while proceeding with a planned funding action that will not involve soliciting proposals from the broader public.
The funding mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates that NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the supported work, such as coordination, oversight, or technical collaboration. The announcement indicates the action is a modification to an existing cooperative agreement (H4870110001) with Upper Delaware Council, Inc., specifically to add funds for project activities connected to implementing the River Management Plan for the Upper Delaware Scenic and Recreational River. Because it is a modification to an existing agreement and is being made without "full and open competition," it is essentially a directed award action rather than a competitive grant opportunity.
Financially, the posting indicates an estimated total funding amount of $300,000, with the award floor and award ceiling both set at $300,000. That structure strongly suggests NPS anticipated making a single award in a fixed amount rather than a range of possible awards. Consistent with that, the expected number of awards is listed as 1. The opportunity also includes a cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is expected to contribute non-federal resources (cash and/or in-kind, depending on the agreement terms) alongside the federal funds, though the specific match percentage or allowable forms of match are not provided in the text excerpt.
In terms of program classification, the opportunity is tied to CFDA 15.921, Rivers, Trails and Conservation Assistance. The funding activity category is listed as "Other," with the clarification pointing back to the CFDA context rather than a more common category like natural resources, education, or infrastructure. Eligibility is limited to nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). However, given that this is a notice of intent to award tied to an existing cooperative agreement, that eligibility statement is largely informational and does not indicate a competitive opening for other nonprofits.
The timeline in the posting reflects the administrative nature of the notice. It was posted on October 18, 2011, with an original and current closing date of October 23, 2011, and an archive date of October 24, 2011. Those dates align with a short public notice window rather than a typical application period, reinforcing that NPS was not accepting new applications and was instead documenting its intention to add funds to an existing agreement.

It also provides a point of contact for access issues: Jennifer Fleming, Contract/Agreements Specialist at the National Park Service, reachable by phone at 215-597-6476.
