Opportunity Summary:
This notice is a National Park Service (NPS) "Notice of Intent to Award" for a project titled "Expand Education Innovation through Park for Every Classroom Partnership" connected to Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historical Park in Vermont. The key point is that it is not a competitive grant opportunity and not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as a public announcement that NPS plans to make a single, non-competitive award for specific project activities.
The planned award will be made through a cooperative agreement, which typically means NPS expects to be substantially involved in the project beyond simply providing funds (for example, through coordination, technical input, or shared implementation responsibilities). The funding opportunity number is NPS 15 NERO 0138, and it is listed under CFDA 15.954, National Park Service Conservation, Protection, Outreach, and Education. The funding activity category is labeled as "Other," with the explanation clarifying that this designation is used because the announcement is strictly a notice of intent to award rather than an open funding competition.
The total funding amount is fixed at $31,744, and both the award ceiling and award floor are also $31,744, meaning the NPS is indicating a single award at that exact amount. The expected number of awards is one, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement. In practical terms, the recipient is not being asked to provide matching funds as a condition of receiving the award.
Eligibility is effectively limited because the NPS states the award will be made as a single-source action to Shelburne Farms, identified as a nonprofit entity. This is the reason full and open competition is not being used, and the notice functions mainly as transparency for the public record that the government intends to fund Shelburne Farms for the stated education partnership work tied to the Park for Every Classroom effort at Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historical Park.
The timeline included in the posting reflects administrative dates rather than an application window for the public. The notice was posted on September 1, 2015, with an original and current closing date of September 10, 2015, and an archive date of September 11, 2015. Because it is not soliciting applications, these dates should be read as the period the notice was available for public viewing and any related administrative processing, not as a deadline for prospective applicants.
For anyone needing the full details, the announcement instructs readers to use the "Related Documents" section in Grants.gov and open the Full Announcement. If there are issues accessing the full announcement electronically, the listed point of contact is Jennifer Fleming, NPS NER Agreements Officer, reachable by phone at 215-597-6476.
