Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service Hornbek Homestead Rodent Exclusion opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP15AC01383) is a discretionary funding notice describing the National Park Service's intent to make a single, noncompetitive cooperative agreement award connected to rodent exclusion work at the Hornbek Homestead. Rather than being a typical open grant competition, this posting functions as a formal public notice that the NPS plans to issue a task agreement under an already-established master agreement, specifically under the 21st Century Conservation Service Corps Program focused on Youth Engagement and Development. In practical terms, this means the NPS is signaling that it will fund a specific partner through an existing agreement vehicle, instead of soliciting and evaluating proposals from the general public.
The award is tied to CFDA 15.931, Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations, and it is categorized under an education-related funding activity. The structure as a cooperative agreement indicates that NPS expects to remain substantially involved in the project beyond simply providing funds, which is common in conservation corps-style projects where agency staff may help shape work plans, provide technical guidance, coordinate access to government sites, or oversee compliance and reporting. The notice indicates one expected award, with a very narrowly defined budget range: an award floor of $38,031 and an award ceiling of $38,032, effectively identifying an anticipated award amount of about $38,032. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated.
Eligibility is not presented as open to the broader applicant pool. The listing explicitly explains that it is not a request for applications and is only intended to provide public notice of the NPS intention to fund a task agreement against an existing master agreement. The "Eligible Applicants" field is listed as "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," and the clarification provided confirms that this is not an open competition. As a result, organizations that might otherwise be interested in applying should interpret this posting as informational only, with the recipient effectively pre-identified through the existing master agreement framework and the applicable Department of the Interior policy (505 DM 2.12C) governing noncompetitive actions.
Key dates show the notice was posted and created on July 30, 2015, with an original and current closing date of August 9, 2015, and an archive date of September 8, 2015. Because the announcement is a notice of intent rather than a solicitation, the closing date should be understood more as the end of the public notice window than a deadline for submitting applications. The agency listed is the National Park Service, and the contact provided is a grants management specialist, Katie Gaertner, with a note indicating that interested parties who cannot access the full announcement electronically should contact her for assistance.
