Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service posted a discretionary funding notice titled "Notice of Intent to Award Cooperative Agreement" under Funding Opportunity Number P12AC300828. This posting is not a competitive grant solicitation and it is not asking the public to submit applications. Instead, it serves as an advance notice that the agency intends to make a single cooperative agreement award to one pre-identified recipient, meaning there is no open competition associated with this announcement.
The funding instrument is a Cooperative Agreement, which typically indicates that the National Park Service expects to have substantial involvement in carrying out the project, rather than simply providing funding with minimal federal participation. The activity category is listed as Environment, and the CFDA (Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance) number is 15.935, "National Trails System Projects," suggesting the work is tied to trail-related projects or stewardship activities connected to the National Trails System.
The notice anticipates one award in total. The estimated total funding is $25,000, and both the award ceiling and award floor are also $25,000, indicating a fixed award amount rather than a range. A cost sharing or matching requirement applies, so the recipient is expected to contribute non-federal resources (cash or in-kind, depending on the full agreement terms) toward the total project cost.
Eligibility, as stated in the summary data, is limited to nonprofits with IRS 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. Even though eligibility is listed, the key point of the notice is that it is a single-source intent to award, so the eligibility information does not function as an invitation for new applicants to apply through this posting.
The notice was posted and created on July 27, 2012. The original and current closing date are both August 3, 2012, and the item was archived on September 2, 2012. Because this is an intent-to-award notice rather than an application-based opportunity, the closing date primarily reflects the administrative window for the announcement posting rather than a deadline for proposal submissions.
For access issues related to the full announcement, the listed contact is Susan Velie, Contract Specialist/Financial Assistance at Olympic National Park, reachable by phone at 360-565-3114.
