Opportunity Summary:
The Lackawanna Valley National Heritage Area opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 12 NERO 0069) is a National Park Service notice stating its intent to make a single cooperative agreement award connected to the National Heritage Area program (CFDA 15.939). It is issued by the United States Department of the Interior, National Park Service, and it falls under the activity areas of community development, environment, and natural resources. The total anticipated funding amount is $427,000, and because the award ceiling and floor are both listed as $427,000, the announcement indicates a fixed expected award amount rather than a range.
This announcement is not a competitive grant solicitation and is explicitly not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as a public notice that NPS intends to enter into an agreement without full and open competition. The planned award is identified as Task Agreement P12AC10444 under Cooperative Agreement H4510100001, and the intended cooperator is the Lackawanna Heritage Valley Authority, which is associated with the Lackawanna Valley National Heritage Area. In other words, the funding is being directed to a pre-identified partner for specific project activities described in the attached full announcement, rather than being opened up for new applicants to propose projects.
The opportunity is categorized as “Mandatory,†uses a “Cooperative Agreement†funding instrument, and includes a cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is expected to provide some level of non-federal contribution consistent with the terms of the agreement. Although the eligible applicant type is listed as county governments, the structure and wording of the notice make clear that the NPS is announcing its intention to proceed with a particular cooperator rather than soliciting competing applications from all potentially eligible entities.
Key dates show the notice was posted and created on June 30, 2012, with an original and current closing date of July 5, 2012, and an archive date of July 6, 2012. The short window reflects that this is a notice of intent to award rather than a typical application period. The listing also indicates there is expected to be one award.
