Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS), within the U.S. Department of the Interior, issued a Notice of Intent to Award for a project called "Engaging Local Youth in Employment Opportunities" at Everglades National Park. This announcement is strictly a public notice and is not a request for applications, meaning the NPS was not soliciting new proposals or opening a competitive application process. Instead, the purpose was to inform the public that the agency intended to provide funding for specific project activities through an existing cooperative agreement, identified as Cooperative Agreement P15AC00020, without full and open competition.
The opportunity was posted under Funding Opportunity Number P15AS00374 and categorized as a discretionary award using a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument. The activity category is listed as education, and it is associated with CFDA 15.931, "Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations," which signals that the project focus involves youth participation in conservation-related work and learning experiences. The notice indicated an expectation of a single award, which aligns with the non-competitive nature of the action and the stated intent to proceed with a particular project arrangement rather than entertain multiple applicants.
Financially, the announcement listed an estimated total funding amount of $45,817. It also showed an award ceiling and floor of $0, which is commonly seen in notices that are primarily informational or where the detailed award range is handled within the referenced agreement documentation rather than presented as a typical competitive grant range. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, indicating the recipient would not be required to contribute additional funds as a condition of receiving the federal support.
In terms of eligibility, the notice listed eligible applicants as for-profit organizations other than small businesses. That eligibility statement is part of the public record for the posting, but it does not change the central point of the notice: the NPS intended to fund the described project without an open competition. The original and current closing date were both September 10, 2015, and the archive date was September 15, 2015, reflecting the short public notice window typical of intent-to-award postings.
For anyone needing the full announcement or having trouble accessing it online through Grants.gov, the notice provided a direct agency contact: Sandra Newton, Awarding Officer at Everglades National Park, reachable by phone at 305-242-7028 or by email at SandraNewton@nps.gov.
