Opportunity Summary:
This notice describes the National Park Service's intent to make a single, non-competitive cooperative agreement award for a 2015 partnership project with the Vermont Youth Conservation Corps (VYCC) focused on providing a hands-on preservation experience at Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historical Park in Vermont. It is explicitly a "Notice of Intent to Award," meaning it is not a call for proposals and not an opportunity where organizations submit applications for consideration. Instead, it serves as a public transparency step to announce that the National Park Service plans to fund specific project activities with a selected partner without full and open competition.
The opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number NPS 15 NERO 0109 and is categorized as a discretionary award using a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates that the National Park Service expects to be substantially involved in the project beyond simply issuing funds (for example, collaborating on planning, technical guidance, work standards, safety requirements, or coordination with park staff and resources). The activity category is Natural Resources, and the associated CFDA number is 15.931, Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations, which aligns with youth corps-based conservation and stewardship work that also builds workforce skills and exposure to public lands careers.
Financially, the announcement indicates one expected award with an estimated total funding amount of $33,753, and both the award ceiling and floor are also listed as $33,753. That structure signals a fixed planned award amount rather than a range. The notice also states that cost sharing or matching is required, so the project is expected to include non-federal contributions in addition to the federal funding, though the announcement excerpt does not specify the exact match ratio or what forms of match (cash, in-kind labor, supplies, or partner services) would qualify.
The timeline information reflects the administrative posting and archiving schedule rather than an application window, since applications are not being solicited. The notice was posted and created on July 24, 2015, carried an original and current closing date of August 2, 2015, and was archived on August 3, 2015. In the context of a notice of intent, the "closing date" functions more like the end of the public notice period than a deadline for submissions.
Eligibility is broadly labeled as "Others" with a prompt to see additional eligibility information, but the narrative makes clear the practical reality: this is a planned, sole-source style award to support the identified partnership and activities at Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historical Park, rather than an open competition among eligible applicants. Anyone seeking more details or needing help obtaining the full announcement is directed to contact the listed grants management specialist, Patrick Reidy, by phone at 215-597-5949, with an NPS email address referenced in the original notice.
