Opportunity Summary:
The Independence Visitor Center Operation, Use and Maintenance opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 12 NERO 0004) is a National Park Service notice stating its intent to make a single, specific award in the form of a cooperative agreement. The purpose is to support the operation of the Independence Visitor Center located at Independence Mall during Fiscal Year 2012. This announcement is explicitly labeled as a NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD and not a request for applications, meaning the NPS is not soliciting competing proposals through Grants.gov and is instead publicly disclosing that it plans to fund a particular partner without full and open competition.
The planned recipient is the Independence Visitor Center Corporation, which aligns with the eligible applicant category listed as a nonprofit organization with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). The activity category is listed as "Other," with a clarification that the funded activity is the operation of the visitor center at Independence Mall. Because this is a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant, it typically implies substantial involvement by the NPS in carrying out the project, such as collaboration, oversight, or shared responsibilities connected to visitor services and facility operations.
Financially, the opportunity shows an estimated total funding amount of $850,000, and both the award ceiling and award floor are also set at $850,000. That structure indicates the NPS anticipated one award at a fixed amount rather than a range of possible award sizes. The posting date is December 7, 2011, with an original and current closing date of December 12, 2011, and an archive date of December 13, 2011. The listing also notes there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient would not be expected to contribute a specified non-federal share as a condition of the award.
Administratively, the announcement falls under the National Park Service and is categorized in Grants.gov as a discretionary opportunity, but again, it is not open for general competition due to the stated intent to award to a designated organization. The CFDA number is shown as 00.000 (Not Elsewhere Classified), which is sometimes used when a program does not map cleanly to a single, standard CFDA assistance listing in the dataset used for the posting. For anyone needing access to the full announcement materials or having trouble retrieving the attachment referenced in the notice, the contact provided is Jennifer Fleming, Contract/Agreements Specialist at the National Park Service, reachable by phone at 215-597-6476.
