Opportunity Summary:
This notice describes a National Park Service (NPS) intent to make a single, non-competitive cooperative agreement award for conservation and treatment work on the "Purrington and Russell Grand Panorama of a Whaling Voyage 'Round the World" associated with New Bedford Whaling National Historical Park. It is explicitly not an open grant competition and not a request for applications. Instead, it functions as a public transparency posting explaining that the NPS plans to fund a specific set of project activities through a direct award rather than through full and open competition.
The opportunity is identified as Funding Opportunity Number NPS 15 NERO 0140, posted on August 25, 2015. The anticipated number of awards is one, with an estimated total funding amount of $122,500. The funding has a fixed range because the award ceiling and award floor are both listed as $122,500, meaning the planned award amount is set at that level. The instrument type is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates the NPS expects to have substantial involvement or ongoing collaboration in the project as it is carried out, rather than simply issuing a grant and stepping back.
The intended recipient is named directly: Old Dartmouth Historical Society, doing business as the New Bedford Whaling Museum, a nonprofit organization. Because the award is single-source, the eligibility section does not invite a broader pool of applicants; it repeats that this announcement is solely to notify the public of the NPS intention to fund the project with that specific entity without full and open competition. The associated CFDA listing is 15.940, labeled "New Bedford Whaling National Historic Park Cooperative Management," which signals the award aligns with cooperative management activities connected to the park and its partnered institutions.
The notice also indicates that cost sharing or a matching requirement applies, meaning the project is expected to include non-federal contributions alongside federal funds, though the brief summary provided does not specify the match ratio or what forms of match are allowable. The funding activity category is listed as "Other," with a clarification field that essentially reiterates the same point: this is a notice of intent to award, not a solicitation.
Key dates show the original and current closing date as September 3, 2015, with an archive date of September 4, 2015. In the context of a notice of intent (rather than a competition), these dates function more like administrative posting windows on Grants.gov than a deadline for applicants to submit proposals, since applications are not being accepted through this announcement.
For anyone trying to locate additional scope details (such as the exact treatment plan for the panorama, conservation methods, deliverables, or reporting requirements), the notice directs readers to use the "Related Documents" link in the full Grants.gov posting to view the complete announcement. The point of contact for accessing the full announcement or addressing access issues is Jennifer Fleming, NPS Northeast Region Agreements Officer, at 215-597-6476.
