Opportunity Summary:
The LARO Resource Support opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P13AC01318) is not a standard, open competitive grant solicitation. Instead, it is a Notice of Intent (NOI) from the National Park Service indicating the agency plans to make a single award to one specific organization without full and open competition. The stated justification is "unique qualifications" under Department of the Interior policy (DOI 505 DM 2). In practical terms, this kind of posting is mainly a public transparency step rather than an invitation for multiple applicants to submit proposals.
The instrument type is a Cooperative Agreement, which generally means the National Park Service expects to have substantial involvement in the project during performance, such as collaborating on planning, coordination, technical direction, or other forms of ongoing federal participation. The activity category is Natural Resources, and the funding is associated with CFDA 15.954, titled National Park Service Conservation, Protection, Outreach, and Education. While the title "LARO Resource Support" suggests resource support activities, the summary provided does not describe specific tasks or deliverables, and it explicitly directs readers to the full announcement for additional details.
Funding for the planned award is listed at an estimated total of $60,000, with an award ceiling of $60,000 and an award floor of $10,000, and the agency anticipated making exactly one award. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient would not be required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of the award, based on the information provided. Eligibility is limited to nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education, although because this is a single-source intent, eligibility language here should be read as contextual rather than an open call for submissions.
Key dates show the opportunity was posted and created on August 28, 2013, with an original and current closing date of September 4, 2013, and an archive date of October 4, 2013. The short window between posting and closing is consistent with NOI postings, which are often published briefly to document the intent to award rather than to run a full competition. Anyone needing access to the full announcement was directed to contact Susan Velie, Contract Specialist, at Olympic National Park Administrative Offices (phone 360-565-3114).
