Opportunity Summary:
The LCF NOI Project SERVE opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 10 NERO 0030) is a National Park Service (NPS), U.S. Department of the Interior notice stating the agency's intent to make a single, specific award under an existing cooperative agreement. It is explicitly labeled as a "Notice of Intent to Award" and also notes that it is not a request for applications, meaning the NPS is not seeking proposals from the public and there is no competitive application process associated with this posting.
The announcement explains that the NPS plans to fund project activities through Task Agreement J4340100620 under Cooperative Agreement H4340100619 with the Living Classrooms Foundation. In practical terms, this is continuation-style funding using a cooperative agreement mechanism, which generally indicates an ongoing partnership where the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the project rather than simply issuing a grant and stepping back. The posting is mainly meant to satisfy public notice requirements for funding an identified cooperator without full and open competition.
Financially, the opportunity lists an estimated total funding amount of $146,756, and both the award ceiling and award floor are also $146,756, signaling that the planned award amount is fixed. Only one award is expected. The listing also indicates there is a cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is expected to contribute non-federal resources or otherwise meet a match component as part of the project budget.
In terms of eligibility, the notice identifies eligible applicants as nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). However, because the posting is not a solicitation and is tied to a specific task agreement with the Living Classrooms Foundation, this eligibility statement should be read as a standard field in the opportunity record rather than an invitation for other organizations to apply.
The timeline reflects the administrative nature of the notice: it was posted and created on July 26, 2010, with a closing date of July 31, 2010, and archived on August 1, 2010. Anyone needing help accessing the full announcement materials is directed to contact Dawn Mach, Contract Specialist, at 215-597-0056. For additional project specifics, the notice points readers to the attachment under the "Full Announcement" section.
