Opportunity Summary:
The funding opportunity titled "National Park Service Perform a Preservation Training Needs Assessment in VT Parks and Develop Workshops Aimed at Training Interns and Park Staff in Preservation Activities" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP13AC00872) is a National Park Service discretionary grant action structured as a cooperative agreement under CFDA 15.945, which covers Cooperative Research and Training Programs related to Resources of the National Park System. The overall purpose is to support a preservation-focused training effort within Vermont parks, beginning with a needs assessment to identify preservation skill gaps and priorities, and then using those findings to design and deliver workshops that train both interns and park staff in hands-on preservation activities. In practical terms, the project is meant to strengthen day-to-day preservation capacity by making sure the training offered matches what parks actually need, rather than delivering a generic curriculum.
This notice is not an open competition and is explicitly not a request for applications. Instead, it is a notice of intent to make a single-source, noncompetitive award to Cornerstones Community Partnerships. The announcement cites the Department of the Interior policy framework (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C) as the justification for using a noncompetitive approach. The work will be executed through a task agreement issued under the National Park Service Desert Southwest Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), which is a mechanism NPS uses to partner with eligible organizations for research, technical assistance, and training activities aligned with park management needs.
In terms of funding, the estimated total available amount for the action is listed as $30,000, with no cost sharing or matching requirement. Only one award is expected. The award floor and ceiling are both listed as zero, which typically indicates that the agency is not using those fields to define a minimum or maximum range for proposals because this is a predetermined single-source award rather than a competitive solicitation. The opportunity was posted and created on July 16, 2013, with an original and current closing date of July 21, 2013, and it was archived on August 20, 2013. Those dates function more like administrative milestones for publishing the notice than a window for competitive submissions, since the announcement makes clear that outside applications are not being solicited.
Eligibility is correspondingly narrow. While the general eligibility field says "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," the key eligibility statement clarifies that this is a single source award to Cornerstones Community Partnerships. For anyone reading the listing as a potential applicant, the central takeaway is that there is no opportunity to apply unless specifically invited or otherwise eligible through the identified single-source pathway.
