Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service FY 2014 Implementation of Management Plan funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number: NPS NOIP14AC00529) was a discretionary federal assistance announcement issued by the National Park Service on May 6, 2014. It was presented as a notice of intent rather than an open competition, meaning the agency was signaling its plan to make a specific award using a noncompetitive process. The announcement explicitly cites the Department of the Interior’s policy authority for this approach, referencing 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C, which is used when an award is justified without full and open competition under defined criteria.
The award instrument for this opportunity was a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates that the National Park Service expected to have substantial involvement in the funded work beyond what is common in a standard grant. The programmatic focus fell under the Natural Resources activity category, and the CFDA listing provided was 15.939 (National Heritage Area Federal Financial Assistance). The intent, based on the title, was to support implementation of an existing management plan, suggesting funds were meant for carrying out planned actions rather than developing a new plan from scratch.
Only one award was anticipated (Expected Awards: 1), with an estimated total funding amount of $343,000. The posting did not specify an award ceiling or floor (both listed as $0), which often happens in notices where the agency expects to fund a predetermined project amount and directs applicants or interested parties to the full announcement attachment for exact budget and scope details. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient was not required to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of the award.
Eligibility was limited to nonprofit organizations with IRS-recognized 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. Because it was noncompetitive, this eligibility information functions more as a formal compliance detail than an invitation for multiple applicants to apply, and it often aligns with situations where a particular nonprofit partner is uniquely positioned to execute the management plan work.
Key dates show a very short response window: the posted and creation dates were May 6, 2014, and the closing date was May 11, 2014 (original and current closing dates were the same). The opportunity was archived on June 10, 2014. This compressed timeline is consistent with a notice-of-intent/noncompetitive action where the primary purpose is public notice and documentation rather than broad solicitation.
