Opportunity Summary:
This notice describes a National Park Service (NPS) intent to make a single, non-competitive cooperative agreement award for a project titled "Enhance Accessibility and Preservation of the Billings Family Archive" at Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historical Park in Vermont. The key point is that it is not an open grant competition and not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as a public transparency posting that NPS plans to fund specific project work through an existing cooperative agreement mechanism, rather than soliciting proposals from the broader public.
The planned award is structured as a Cooperative Agreement, tied to a task agreement with the Woodstock Foundation under Cooperative Agreement P13AC01121. In practical terms, that means the NPS expects to collaborate with the named partner on defined activities that support preservation and access goals related to the Billings Family Archive. The announcement indicates this will occur "without full and open competition," which is why the agency issues a Notice of Intent to Award: it documents the rationale and informs the public that the work is being directed to a specific organization rather than awarded through a competitive process.
Funding for the project is set at a total of $50,000, with the award floor and ceiling both listed as $50,000, signaling a fixed, single award amount. The opportunity anticipates one award only. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is not expected to provide a matching contribution as a condition of the award. The funding falls under CFDA 15.954, National Park Service Conservation, Protection, Outreach, and Education, which aligns with projects that protect resources and improve public engagement and access to heritage materials.
Eligibility is narrowly defined because this is a single-source intent: the eligible applicant category is nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), and the posting explicitly states it is a single-source award to a nonprofit entity. The named partner is the Woodstock Foundation, meaning other organizations are not being invited to apply or compete for these funds. The listing includes dates primarily for administrative tracking: it was posted August 9, 2013, with an original and current closing date of August 13, 2013, and archived August 14, 2013. These dates should not be read as a normal application window since the announcement is not seeking applications.
For anyone trying to understand the full scope of the planned work, the notice directs readers to the attachment accessible via the "Full Announcement" link on Grants.gov, where complete details of the intent-to-award and the project activities would be provided. The point of contact listed for access issues is Jennifer Fleming, NPS NER Agreements Officer, at 215-597-6476, indicating that questions should be focused on obtaining the posted materials rather than on submitting proposals.
