Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS), within the U.S. Department of the Interior, published a Notice of Intent to Award for a project titled "Expand Urban Youth Visits to DEWA through Partner Youth Opportunities Program." The key point is that this notice is not a call for proposals and not a competitive grant opportunity. Instead, it is a public transparency notice stating that NPS intends to make a new cooperative agreement award to a specific organization without full and open competition.
This planned award is identified under Funding Opportunity Number NPS 13 NERO 0141 and falls under CFDA (now commonly referred to as Assistance Listing) 15.954, National Park Service Conservation, Protection, Outreach, and Education. The funding instrument is a Cooperative Agreement, which typically means the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the project beyond simply providing funds, often through coordination, oversight, or shared program implementation.
The intended recipient is the Appalachian Mountain Club, a nonprofit entity, and the notice describes the action as a single-source award. In practical terms, that means the eligible applicant pool is not open; NPS is signaling that it has selected this nonprofit partner for the work and is proceeding directly with that organization rather than running a standard competitive process.
The total anticipated funding amount is $26,880, and both the award ceiling and floor are listed as $26,880, indicating the award is expected to be made at that exact amount rather than within a broader funding range. The opportunity also specifies that cost sharing or matching is required, meaning the recipient is expected to contribute non-federal resources (cash or allowable in-kind support) as part of the overall project budget.
The notice was posted and created on August 26, 2013, with an original and current closing date of August 31, 2013, and an archive date of September 1, 2013. These dates should not be read as an application window for the general public, since the announcement explicitly states it is not requesting applications; instead, they function more like administrative posting dates for the public record.
For anyone trying to review the official details, NPS directs readers to the attachment accessible through the "Full Announcement" link on Grants.gov, which would contain the fuller justification and scope of the intended activities. For access issues or questions about the posted notice itself, the listed point of contact is Jennifer Fleming, Agreements Officer with the National Park Service (Northeast Region), reachable by phone at 215-597-6476.
