Opportunity Summary:
This notice is a National Park Service (NPS) announcement from the U.S. Department of the Interior stating its intent to make a single, specific award for a Career Technical Education Program connected to the National Parks of New York Harbor. It is explicitly labeled as a "Notice of Intent to Award," meaning it is not a competitive grant solicitation and it is not asking the public to submit applications. Instead, it serves as a public transparency notice that the NPS plans to fund a defined set of project activities through a non-competitive agreement.
The planned funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which generally signals that NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project beyond simply issuing funds, such as coordination, technical input, or shared management responsibilities. The notice indicates the work will be carried out via a task agreement with the Lower Eastside Tenement Museum, Inc. (identified as LOEA), a nonprofit organization. The eligibility field reinforces that this is a directed award: the intended recipient is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, and the announcement is meant to document that the NPS intends to proceed without "full and open competition."
Financially, the opportunity lists an estimated total funding amount of $50,000, with an award ceiling and floor both set at $50,000. That structure strongly implies a single fixed award amount rather than a range of possible award sizes. The expected number of awards is one, consistent with the intent to fund a specific partner for a specific program. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement indicated, meaning the recipient is not required by this notice to provide matching funds as a condition of the award.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is categorized as discretionary and falls under CFDA number 15.946, Cultural Resources Management. The activity category is labeled "Other," clarified as the Career Technical Education Program for the National Parks of New York Harbor. The posting date and creation date are both August 28, 2012, with a closing date of September 2, 2012, and an archive date of September 3, 2012. Because it is not a request for applications, the "closing date" functions more like the end of the public notice period rather than a deadline for submissions.
For anyone trying to understand the details of the work to be performed, the notice directs readers to an attachment available through the "Full Announcement" link on Grants.gov, which would contain the specific scope, deliverables, and terms associated with the intended task agreement. The listed contact for access issues or questions about the announcement is Jennifer Fleming, Contract/Agreements Specialist at the National Park Service, reachable by phone at 215-597-6476.
