Opportunity Summary:
The opportunity titled "National Capital Parks - East Summer Day Camps for Diverse and Disadvantaged Youth" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOI NACE R3501110031) is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding action related to natural resource stewardship. The announcement is not structured as an open, competitive grant solicitation. Instead, it functions as a notice of intent to make a single, noncompetitive award through a cooperative agreement mechanism. In practical terms, this means the NPS is announcing that it plans to fund a specific partner for a specific purpose, rather than inviting multiple organizations to submit proposals for consideration.
The work described centers on operating summer day camps connected to National Capital Parks - East, with an emphasis on serving diverse and disadvantaged youth. While the brief public summary does not detail program activities, the title indicates the camps are intended to provide youth programming that likely combines outdoor experiences, educational components, and engagement with park resources in the National Capital Parks - East system. Because the funding activity category is listed under natural resources, the camps may incorporate themes such as environmental education, stewardship, interpretation, and exposure to parklands and conservation-related learning, though the notice itself points readers to an attached announcement for specifics.
Administratively, the NPS states the action will be carried out as a task agreement under Cooperative Agreement No. P11AC30586. A cooperative agreement generally implies substantial involvement by the federal agency in carrying out the project, such as collaboration on planning, oversight, or delivery of activities, rather than a more hands-off grant arrangement. The notice also cites DOI 505 DM 2.12C as the authority for proceeding as a noncompetitive award, indicating the Department of the Interior policy basis used to justify a single-source approach.
Funding information included in the posting shows an estimated total funding amount of $31,272, with an expected number of awards equal to one. The listing shows no cost sharing or matching requirement. The award ceiling and floor are both shown as $0, which often appears in legacy postings when the system does not populate those fields or when the agency does not specify a range in the public synopsis; the estimated total funding figure is the more meaningful indicator of the anticipated amount tied to this action.
Eligibility is effectively closed because the announcement explicitly states it is not a request for applications. The sole intended recipient is identified as Living Classrooms of the National Capital Region. Although the general eligible applicant category is displayed as "Others (see text field...)," the eligibility narrative clarifies that the announcement is for a single-source award to that organization, so other entities are not being solicited and would not be able to compete for the funds through this notice.
The key dates reflect how limited and administrative this posting is: it was posted and created on August 2, 2011, with an original and current closing date of August 4, 2011, and an archive date of September 3, 2011. This short window is consistent with notices of intent that exist primarily to document transparency and compliance rather than to run a competitive application process.
