Opportunity Summary:
The Maurice River Conservation opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 12 NERO 0104) is a National Park Service notice of intent to award funds through a cooperative agreement for environmental and natural resource work tied to the Maurice River. It is explicitly not a request for applications and not a competitive solicitation. Instead, the notice serves as a public posting that the NPS intends to continue funding specific project activities without full and open competition by modifying an existing cooperative agreement.
The award is structured as a Cooperative Agreement, which generally indicates an arrangement where the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the supported work (as opposed to a standard grant where the recipient operates more independently). In this case, the modification continues projects under Cooperative Agreement H4507080503 with the named partner, Citizens United To Protect The Maurice River, Inc., a nonprofit organization. Because it is a continuation/modification to an existing agreement with a specific cooperator, the practical effect is that there is one expected award and the funding is directed to that partner rather than opened to new applicants.
The anticipated funding amount is fixed at 49,000 dollars, with an award floor and ceiling both set at 49,000 dollars, indicating there is no range and the planned amount is predetermined. The posting lists no cost sharing or matching requirement. While the eligible applicant category is described as nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), the notice language makes clear that the funding action is intended for the identified organization under the existing cooperative agreement, not for a broader applicant pool.
Key dates in the record show the opportunity was posted and created on July 24, 2012, with an original and current closing date of July 29, 2012, and an archive date of July 30, 2012. Those dates align with the nature of a notice of intent to award, where the purpose is disclosure and documentation of an intended non-competitive action rather than providing time for proposal development. The announcement references additional detail in an attachment available under the full announcement, suggesting the specific tasks, deliverables, or scope of work are described there rather than in the brief synopsis.
For assistance accessing the full announcement materials, the NPS listed a point of contact: Keith Zotti, Partnership Program Specialist, reachable by phone at 215-597-9153.
