Opportunity Summary:
This notice is a National Park Service (NPS) "Notice of Intent to Award" related to work under the Boston Harbor Islands National Recreation Area Strategic Plan of Work. It is explicitly not a request for applications and not a competitive funding opportunity. Instead, it serves as a public transparency posting that the NPS intends to add funds to an existing agreement without seeking proposals from other organizations.
The funding mechanism is a cooperative agreement, issued as a modification that adds money to an existing Cooperative Management Agreement (CMA), identified as P11AC40304. The intended recipient is Thompson Island Outward Bound Education Center (TIOBEC), a nonprofit organization. The notice characterizes this as a sole-source action, meaning NPS plans to fund this specific organization directly rather than opening the work to full and open competition. While the broader eligibility category listed is nonprofits with IRS 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), the eligibility information makes clear that this particular action is directed to a single nonprofit entity.
The opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number NPS 13 NERO 0033, with the associated CFDA number 15.947 (Boston Harbor Islands Partnership). The posting indicates an expected number of awards of one, reinforcing that this is a single-recipient action rather than a multi-award grant competition. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is not expected to provide a required non-federal match as a condition of the award.
The total funding amount is fixed at $31,500, with an award floor and ceiling both set at $31,500. That structure typically signals that the agency already knows the exact amount it intends to obligate for the described scope of work, consistent with a planned modification to an existing agreement. The notice was posted on May 31, 2013, with a closing date of June 4, 2013, and archived on June 5, 2013, which is consistent with a brief public notice window rather than a normal application period.
Anyone looking for the detailed description of the project activities is directed to the attachment under the full announcement link, since the summary text in the listing mainly repeats the intent-to-award language and does not spell out the full scope in the public-facing snippet. For access issues or questions about the notice, the listed point of contact is Jennifer Fleming, Contract/Agreements Specialist at the National Park Service, reachable by phone at 215-597-6476.
