Opportunity Summary:
The Notice of Intent to Award titled "Notice of Intent to Award Chesapeake Conservation Corps - Chesapeake Bay Program" is a National Park Service (NPS) public notice explaining that the agency plans to provide federal funding for a specific project without holding a competitive grant competition. It is explicitly not a request for applications and is not an open opportunity for new applicants. Instead, it functions as a transparency notice that the NPS intends to move forward with a single, predetermined recipient under an existing cooperative agreement structure.
This action is being issued by the United States Department of the Interior, National Park Service, and is listed as a discretionary funding opportunity using a Cooperative Agreement as the funding instrument. The notice states that NPS will support project activities through Task Agreement P14AC00872 with the Chesapeake Bay Trust, operating under Cooperative Agreement P12AC30870. In practical terms, this means the NPS already has an established partnership framework with the Chesapeake Bay Trust and is authorizing a specific task or work package under that broader agreement rather than soliciting proposals from the general public.
The expected number of awards is one, and the sole intended recipient is the Chesapeake Bay Trust. The notice identifies the organization as a nonprofit entity with 501(c)(3) status, and it clarifies that the award is single-source, meaning the agency is not seeking bids or proposals from other organizations. The listing also ties the opportunity to CFDA (Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance) number 15.931, described as "Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations," which signals that the funded work is associated with conservation programming that involves youth service components, consistent with the Chesapeake Conservation Corps theme.
Funding details are straightforward and fixed: the estimated total funding is $30,000, and both the award ceiling and award floor are also $30,000. That indicates NPS is announcing a single award at a set amount rather than a range of possible award sizes. The notice also indicates that cost sharing or matching is required, meaning the recipient is expected to contribute non-federal resources (cash and/or in-kind support) consistent with the terms of the cooperative agreement, although the specific match ratio is not included in the text provided.
In terms of timing, the notice was posted and created on June 18, 2014, with an original and current closing date of June 22, 2014, and an archive date of June 23, 2014. For this type of notice, the "closing date" does not operate like a normal application deadline because there is no open application process; instead, it typically reflects the period during which the public notice is displayed before the record is closed or archived.
For further information, the notice directs readers to the attachment available through the "Full Announcement" link on Grants.gov for complete details. It also provides a point of contact for assistance accessing the announcement: Jennifer Fleming, NPS NER Agreements Officer, reachable by phone at 215-597-6476. The listing additionally notes that general help for navigating Grants.gov or learning about how federal grants work can be found through the website's standard "Contact Us" resources, though again, this particular posting is informational rather than a solicitation.
