Opportunity Summary:
The Musconetcong River Conservation opportunity is a National Park Service (NPS) grant action under the U.S. Department of the Interior that serves primarily as a public notice of the government s intent to make a specific award, rather than an open call for proposals. The notice makes it explicit that this is not a request for applications, meaning the NPS is not soliciting competing submissions from the public. Instead, it signals a planned, noncompetitive continuation award structured as a cooperative agreement, with the purpose of carrying forward work that began under an earlier cooperative agreement.
At its core, the opportunity is designed to continue ongoing river and watershed conservation activities on the Musconetcong River through a partnership with the Musconetcong Watershed Association. The announcement references a new cooperative agreement (P13AC01331) that extends projects initiated under a previous agreement (H4507080205). While the short notice does not spell out the project work plan in detail, the funding sits within the NPS Rivers, Trails and Conservation Assistance program (CFDA 15.921) and is categorized under Environment and Natural Resources, which typically involves collaborative conservation planning, community-based stewardship, river corridor protection efforts, and related technical assistance and coordination activities tied to natural resource conservation outcomes.
The funding profile is narrowly defined and fixed. The estimated total funding is 84,000, and both the award ceiling and award floor are also 84,000, indicating the NPS anticipated making one award at one set amount. The expected number of awards is one, reinforcing that this action is aimed at a single identified partner rather than multiple recipients. The notice also indicates there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient would not be required to provide a non-federal match as a condition of the award.
Eligibility is listed as nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education). However, because the announcement is a notice of intent to award without full and open competition, the practical effect is that the award is intended for the existing cooperator named in the notice, the Musconetcong Watershed Association, to continue previously funded work. The opportunity was posted on September 3, 2013, with an original and current closing date of September 7, 2013, and an archive date of September 8, 2013, reflecting that this was a time-limited posting for transparency purposes rather than a standard competitive grant window.
For anyone needing the complete details, the announcement directs readers to the attachment under the Full Announcement section, and it provides a point of contact for access issues: Dawn Mach, Contract Specialist, at 215 597 0056. Overall, this listing functions as an official public notification that the NPS intended to fund continued Musconetcong River conservation work through a specific cooperative agreement with an established nonprofit partner, funded at 84,000 with no matching requirement and no open competition.
