Opportunity Summary:
The Notice of Intent to Award titled "Chesapeake Conservation Corps - Chesapeake Bay Program" is a National Park Service (NPS), U.S. Department of the Interior funding notice that serves primarily as a public transparency announcement rather than a competitive grant solicitation. The notice makes it explicit that this is not a request for applications and that no open competition will be conducted. Instead, NPS is announcing its intention to fund a specific set of project activities through a single, pre-identified recipient under an existing cooperative framework.
In practical terms, NPS plans to issue funding through a Cooperative Agreement mechanism, using Task Agreement P14AC00709 with the Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation (VADCR). This task agreement falls under an already-established Cooperative Agreement, identified as P12AC30770. Because the funding is being directed through an existing agreement vehicle, the notice functions as an advance statement that the agency will proceed with a non-competitive, single-source award to VADCR, which is a state government entity.
The opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number NPS 14 NERO 0050 and is associated with CFDA (Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance) number 15.931, which relates to "Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations." While the notice does not provide detailed programmatic work plans in the text provided, the title and CFDA alignment indicate the effort is connected to youth-oriented conservation work within the broader Chesapeake Bay Program context, commonly involving hands-on stewardship, conservation service activities, and related environmental restoration or education objectives that support Chesapeake Bay watershed priorities.
Funding details are straightforward and tightly defined. The estimated total funding amount is $45,000, and both the award ceiling and award floor are also $45,000, meaning the intended award amount is fixed rather than a range. The notice indicates that cost sharing or matching is required, so the recipient is expected to contribute non-federal resources (cash and/or in-kind contributions, depending on the agreement terms) toward the project. Only one award is expected.
Eligibility is not open-ended. The eligible applicant category is effectively limited by the agency decision to proceed with a single-source award, and the notice clarifies that the intended recipient is the Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation. This is reinforced repeatedly in the eligibility language: the announcement exists to notify the public that NPS intends to fund the project activities without full and open competition, and it is specifically directed to VADCR.
The administrative timeline reflects the notice-only nature of the posting. It was posted on June 18, 2014, with an original and current closing date of June 22, 2014, and an archive date of June 23, 2014. These short windows are typical for non-competitive intent-to-award postings, which are often used to satisfy public notice requirements rather than to collect applications.
For anyone trying to find the complete details of the intended project activities, NPS directs readers to the attachment available through the "Full Announcement" link on Grants.gov. The notice also provides a point of contact for access issues: Jennifer Fleming, NPS NER Agreements Officer, at (215) 597-6476.
