Opportunity Summary:
This notice describes a National Park Service (NPS), U.S. Department of the Interior, intent to make a non-competitive award for work at Fort McHenry in Baltimore, Maryland focused on maintaining cultural landscapes through Project SERVE. The key point is that it is a Notice of Intent to Award, not a request for applications, meaning the NPS is not soliciting proposals from the public and there is no open competition for this funding.
The opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number NPS 15 NERO 0050 and carries the title "Notice of Intent to Award Fort McHenry, Baltimore, MD Maintain Cultural Landscapes with Project SERVE." It is categorized as a discretionary award using a cooperative agreement instrument, which typically indicates the federal agency expects to be substantially involved in carrying out the project rather than simply issuing a pass-through grant with minimal engagement.
The announcement explains that the NPS plans to fund specific project activities without full and open competition by issuing Task Agreement P15AC00705 under an already existing Cooperative Agreement (P15AC00399). In other words, the work is being added or continued under a previously established agreement framework rather than competed as a brand-new standalone grant.
Funding details are very specific and fixed: the estimated total funding is $35,000, and both the award ceiling and award floor are also $35,000, indicating the NPS expects one award at that exact amount. The posting date and creation date are May 26, 2015, with an original and current closing date of June 4, 2015, and an archive date of June 5, 2015. Even though a closing date is shown, it functions more like an administrative posting window for the public notice rather than an application deadline, since applications are not being accepted.
Eligibility is essentially limited to a single pre-identified recipient. The NPS states this is a single-source award to Living Classrooms Foundation (LCF), identified as a nonprofit entity. As a result, other organizations are not being invited to apply under this notice. The listing also indicates a cost sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning the project is expected to include some level of non-federal contribution, although the notice summary does not provide the ratio or the form the match must take.
The opportunity is tied to CFDA number 15.931, "Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations," which signals the broader program area: conservation-related work delivered through youth service or similar mission-driven organizations. The project title and brief description point to hands-on maintenance and stewardship of historic or designed landscapes at Fort McHenry, consistent with cultural landscape preservation activities conducted in partnership with a community-based nonprofit.
For additional details, the notice directs readers to the "Related Documents" section on the Grants.gov posting and to open the full announcement.
