Opportunity Summary:
The "National Register Documentation, Chesapeake" opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOI NCRO R3992120004) is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding action that is being issued as a notice of intent rather than an open, competitive grant solicitation. In practical terms, it is not inviting new proposals from the public. Instead, it announces the NPS plan to make a single, noncompetitive award as a task agreement under an existing NPS cooperative agreement (Cooperative Agreement No. H3130090029). The notice cites Department of the Interior policy (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C) as the basis for proceeding with a sole-source, noncompetitive action.
The award is structured as a cooperative agreement, which generally means the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the work (for example, coordination, technical input, or collaborative oversight), as opposed to a standard grant where the recipient typically carries out the work more independently. The funding activity is categorized under "Cultural and Natural Resources," and the related CFDA listing is 15.945, titled "Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System." The project title and category strongly suggest the work supports documentation connected to the National Register of Historic Places within the Chesapeake context, although the public summary provided here does not include a detailed scope statement beyond indicating it is for "National Register Documentation."
Financially, the announcement lists an estimated total funding amount of $80,000 and anticipates one award. No cost sharing or matching is required. The listing shows an award ceiling and floor of $0, which is commonly seen in notices that are informational in nature or that rely on an attached document for the precise financial terms, while the estimated total funding figure provides the meaningful funding expectation.
Eligibility is effectively limited because the announcement specifies it is a single-source award to Frederick Community College, Catoctin Center for Regional Studies. The eligible applicants field is marked as "Others," with a clarifying statement that this is not a request for applications. The posting date and creation date are July 18, 2012, with an original and current closing date of July 25, 2012, and an archive date of August 24, 2012. The short window between posting and closing is consistent with a notice-of-intent publication intended to document the agency's planned noncompetitive action rather than to solicit and review proposals from multiple applicants.
