Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS), within the U.S. Department of the Interior, posted a notice of intent to award a single cooperative agreement tied to educational and outreach work with the Lower Eastside Tenement Museum, Inc. The announcement is explicitly not a request for applications; instead, it serves as formal public notification that NPS intends to enter into a non-competitive agreement for specified project activities. In other words, this listing is essentially a transparency step letting the public know the government plans to fund a particular partner for a defined effort, rather than opening a competition where multiple organizations can apply.
The opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number NPS 13 NERO 0054, titled "Lower Eastside Tenement Museum," and uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument. Cooperative agreements are typically used when the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the project rather than simply providing a grant with minimal federal participation. The activity category is Education, and the associated CFDA number is 15.954, which covers National Park Service programs related to conservation, protection, outreach, and education. The posting indicates there will be one award, reinforcing that this is intended for a specific project partner rather than a broad funding competition.
Funding details are clearly defined and fixed. The estimated total funding is $234,000, and both the award ceiling and award floor are also $234,000, meaning the anticipated award amount is set at that exact figure. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is not expected to provide a financial match as a condition of the award. The agreement referenced is Cooperative Agreement P13AC00297 (formerly P12AC30052), indicating this effort may be a continuation, modification, or successor to an earlier agreement number.
Eligibility is listed as nonprofits with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). Practically, however, because this is a notice of intent to award without full and open competition, the eligibility listing functions more as a classification of the intended recipient type than an invitation for new applicants. The intended partner named in the description is Lower Eastside Tenement Museum, Inc., and the announcement directs readers to consult an attachment under the "Full Announcement" section for complete project details, scope, and terms.
The timeline reflects a short notice window: it was posted and created on June 22, 2013, with an original and current closing date of June 27, 2013, and it was archived on June 28, 2013. Because it was not an application-based opportunity, the closing date is best understood as the end of the public notice period rather than a deadline for proposals. For access issues related to the full announcement, the listed point of contact is Dawn Mach, Contract Specialist, reachable by phone at 215-597-0056.
