Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS), part of the U.S. Department of the Interior, issued this posting as a Notice of Intent to Award for work to enhance and operate a public transit system serving the Schoodic District of Acadia National Park in Maine. The key point is that it is not a competitive grant opportunity and not a request for applications. Instead, it functions as a transparency notice to the public that NPS plans to fund a specific set of project activities through a single-source action, meaning the agency is proceeding without full and open competition.
The award is structured as a cooperative agreement action, specifically Task Agreement P14AC01566 issued to Downeast Transportation, Inc. (DTI) under an existing Cooperative Agreement P13AC00377. DTI is identified as a nonprofit entity and the sole intended recipient. Because the award is single-source, the usual concept of eligibility does not apply in practice; while the listing includes an "Eligible Applicants" field, the narrative makes clear that the only recipient anticipated is DTI, and no other organizations are being invited to apply through this announcement.
Funding for the project is listed at an estimated total of $270,000, and both the award floor and award ceiling are also set at $270,000, signaling an expected single fixed funding amount rather than a range. The announcement anticipates one award. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated, meaning the recipient is not expected to contribute a mandatory non-federal match as a condition of receiving the funds.
For administrative context, the opportunity is recorded under Funding Opportunity Number NPS 14 NERO 0132 and is associated with CFDA 15.954 (National Park Service Conservation, Protection, Outreach, and Education). The posting dates show it was published on August 22, 2014, with a closing date of August 27, 2014, and it was archived on August 28, 2014. In this kind of notice, the closing date generally reflects the end of the public notice period rather than an application deadline, since applications are not being accepted.
Anyone needing the full details is directed to the attachment available via the full announcement link in Grants.gov. The contact listed for issues accessing the announcement is Jennifer Fleming, NPS NER Agreements Officer, at 215-597-6476.
