Opportunity Summary:
The Independence Visitor Center Operation, Use and Maintenance opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 11 NERO 0026) is a National Park Service notice that the U.S. Department of the Interior intends to make a single, specific award to support the ongoing operation and upkeep of the Independence Visitor Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It is explicitly labeled as a "Notice of Intent to Award" and not a request for applications, meaning it is not an open, competitive grant solicitation where multiple organizations submit proposals. Instead, the posting functions as a public transparency notice that the NPS plans to fund defined project activities through a task agreement (Task Agreement J4450110001) under an existing cooperative agreement already in place (Cooperative Agreement H4450070001) with the Independence Visitor Center Corporation.
The mechanism for the award is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the project compared with a standard grant. The activity category is listed under "Other," with the clarification that the supported work is the operation and maintenance of the Independence Visitor Center. In practical terms, the funding is meant to cover responsibilities tied to keeping the visitor center running and maintained for public use, aligning with the visitor services and facility stewardship needs associated with a major National Park Service-related site in Philadelphia.
The total funding amount is stated as $850,000, and the announcement sets the award floor and ceiling at the same figure, indicating the NPS anticipated a single award at that exact amount rather than a range. The announcement also notes that there is no cost sharing or matching requirement. While the eligible applicant category is described as nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), the notice makes clear the intended recipient is the Independence Visitor Center Corporation via the existing cooperative agreement, so eligibility language does not imply an open opportunity for other nonprofits to compete for the funds.
Timing details reflect its nature as an informational posting rather than an application-based competition. The notice was posted and created on February 3, 2011, with an original and current closing date of February 8, 2011, and it was archived on February 9, 2011. These dates primarily signal the window during which the notice was publicly visible on the grants portal rather than a period for submitting applications.
For anyone trying to locate more detailed terms, the announcement indicates that complete information is contained in an attachment accessible through the "Full Announcement" link on the listing. Administrative contact information is provided for access issues: Jennifer Fleming, Contract/Agreements Specialist, National Park Service, phone 215-597-6476.
