Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS), within the U.S. Department of the Interior, published a Notice of Intent to Award for a project titled "Lower Delaware River and White Clay Creek National Wild and Scenic Conservation" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 14 NERO 0091). This notice is specifically meant to inform the public that NPS intends to provide funding without full and open competition, and it is not a request for applications. In other words, this announcement is not inviting new proposals from the public; it is documenting NPSs plan to continue work that is already underway through an existing partnership.
The funding is being issued as a continuation/modification under an existing cooperative agreement, Cooperative Agreement P10AC00324 (formerly H4531100521), with the Natural Lands Trust as the cooperator. Cooperative agreements are typically used when the federal agency expects to be substantially involved in the project, so this is framed more as an ongoing, collaborative effort rather than a standard grant where the recipient works independently. The activity categories tied to this award are Education, Environment, and Natural Resources, and the CFDA program number listed is 15.921, which is associated with Rivers, Trails and Conservation Assistance.
This opportunity is listed as continuation funding with an expected single award. The total estimated funding amount is $64,029, and the award ceiling and floor are both $64,029, meaning NPS anticipated one award at that exact amount rather than a range of possible award sizes. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement noted for this action. Although the eligible applicant category is stated as nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), the structure of the notice makes clear that the intent is to continue funding with the identified partner rather than solicit competing applicants.
Key dates in the posting show it was published on July 17, 2014, with a closing date of July 22, 2014, and archived on July 23, 2014. Those dates function more as administrative posting windows in the grants system rather than a true competitive application period, since the notice explicitly says it is not a request for applications and the award is intended as a non-competitive continuation under the existing agreement.
For anyone needing the official full announcement materials but having trouble accessing them online, the listed NPS contact is Dawn Mach, Contract Specialist, reachable by phone at 215-597-0056. The announcement also notes that complete details are available in an attachment under the "Full Announcement" section of the original posting.
