Opportunity Summary:
The Northern Rio Grande National Heritage Area grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS-NOIR1264110060) is a National Park Service funding action issued under CFDA 15.939, National Heritage Area Federal Financial Assistance. It was posted and created on August 26, 2011, with an original and current closing date of August 31, 2011, and it was archived on September 30, 2011. The opportunity is categorized as mandatory and uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, with the activity area listed as natural resources. The estimated total funding amount associated with this action is $147,000, with one expected award. No cost sharing or matching is required, and both the award ceiling and award floor are listed as $0, which typically indicates the specific award amount is handled through the agreement rather than published as a range in the notice.
This announcement is not a competitive solicitation and is explicitly not a request for applications. Instead, it is a single-source award restricted to one organization: Northern Rio Grande National Heritage Area, Inc. The eligibility field reflects this by pointing to additional eligibility information, which clarifies that only that designated entity is intended to receive the funding. The basis for limiting the award to this organization comes directly from Public Law 111-11, the Omnibus Public Land Management Act of 2009. That law formally established the Northern Rio Grande National Heritage Area and designated Northern Rio Grande National Heritage Area, Inc. as the management entity. The notice also emphasizes that the legislation and its legislative history show Congress intended the award to be restricted to that entity, which is the standard rationale used for a sole-source federal assistance action when a statute names the recipient or otherwise directs funding to a particular organization.
For practical purposes, the opportunity functions as an administrative vehicle for the National Park Service to provide federal financial assistance to the congressionally designated management entity responsible for coordinating, managing, and supporting heritage area activities. Although the notice does not spell out project tasks in detail, the program context (National Heritage Areas) generally involves partnerships and place-based work that can include planning, interpretation and education, preservation of cultural and natural resources, and community engagement tied to the heritage area's authorizing purposes. Because the instrument is a cooperative agreement, it also implies substantial federal involvement in carrying out or overseeing the funded activities compared to a standard grant.
The contact listed for access or assistance with the full announcement is William Tallbull, Grant/Agreement Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-969-2891.
