Opportunity Summary:
This notice is a National Park Service (NPS) announcement letting the public know that the agency intends to make a specific award for a specific project, and that it is not inviting applications from other organizations. The opportunity is titled "Notice of Intent to Award Forest for Every Classroom Marsh Billings Rockefeller National Historical Park, Vermont" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 14 NERO 0074). It falls under the Department of the Interior, National Park Service, and uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, meaning NPS anticipates being actively involved in carrying out the supported work rather than simply issuing a hands-off grant.
The key point is that this is a single-source action without full and open competition. NPS states it will fund the project activities through Task Agreement P14AC01110, which is issued to Shelburne Farms under an existing Cooperative Agreement (P13AC01132). In other words, the agency is extending or implementing work under a previously established partnership framework, rather than running a new competitive grant cycle. Because of that structure, the "eligible applicants" language is essentially procedural; while the listing shows an eligibility category, the notice clarifies that the intended recipient is Shelburne Farms, a nonprofit organization with IRS 501(c)(3) status.
The total anticipated award amount is fixed at $46,446, with the award ceiling and floor both set at $46,446, indicating NPS expects one award at that exact amount (Expected Awards: 1). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is not being asked to provide a mandatory financial match as a condition of the award. The funding is associated with CFDA 15.954, "National Park Service Conservation, Protection, Outreach, and Education," which signals the programmatic purpose is tied to NPS efforts that support conservation, public education, outreach, and related resource protection goals. The activity category is listed as "Other," with the clarification that this is a notice of intent to award rather than an open solicitation.
The timeline reinforces that this is purely a public notice rather than a period for proposals. The notice was posted July 2, 2014, with an original and current closing date of July 7, 2014, and an archive date of July 8, 2014. Those dates function more like an administrative posting window on Grants.gov than an application deadline, since the announcement explicitly states it is not a request for applications.
For anyone trying to locate the finer project details, NPS directs readers to the attachment under the "Full Announcement" link on the Grants.gov posting, implying the narrative scope of work, justification for single-source selection, and any planned deliverables are contained there rather than in the short synopsis. If someone has trouble accessing the materials electronically, the point of contact listed is Jennifer Fleming, NPS NER Agreements Officer, at 215-597-6476.
