Opportunity Summary:
This notice is a National Park Service (NPS), U.S. Department of the Interior announcement stating the agencys intent to make a specific grant award for work at Fort McHenry in Baltimore, Maryland, focused on maintaining the parks cultural landscapes through a youth service effort known as Project SERVE. The key point is that this is a Notice of Intent to Award, not an open grant competition and not a request for applications. It is published primarily to satisfy the requirement to provide public notice when the government plans to fund work without full and open competition.
The planned funding will be issued as a cooperative agreement, meaning NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project rather than simply providing money and stepping back. The award is tied to Task Agreement P13AC00328 and will be made to the Living Classrooms Foundation under an existing cooperative agreement (H4340100619). Because it is a single source action, the opportunity is not available for other organizations to apply for, even though the general eligibility category listed is nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education). In practical terms, the eligibility language describes the type of organization receiving the award, but the notice makes clear that this particular award is already directed to a named nonprofit partner.
The activity is categorized under a youth program and aligns with CFDA 15.931, Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations. That framing indicates the work is intended to combine conservation or stewardship tasks with youth development, training, or service opportunities. In this case, the on-the-ground focus is maintenance of cultural landscapes at Fort McHenry, which typically includes stewardship tasks that help preserve historically significant grounds and designed landscapes, such as vegetation management, landscape feature upkeep, and other site care activities that support the parks historic setting and visitor experience.
Financially, the notice indicates one expected award with total estimated funding of $26,000, and it lists an award floor and ceiling both set at $26,000, suggesting a fixed planned amount rather than a range. The announcement also states that cost sharing or matching is required, meaning the recipient is expected to contribute a portion of project costs through non-federal funds, in-kind contributions, or other allowable match sources, consistent with the terms of the underlying cooperative agreement and task agreement.
The timeline information reflects the administrative posting and archiving of the notice rather than an application window. It was posted May 10, 2013, shows an original and current closing date of May 15, 2013, and an archive date of May 16, 2013. Since no applications are being solicited, those dates mainly indicate the period the notice was publicly visible on Grants.gov for transparency.
For anyone trying to obtain the full details, the notice directs readers to the attachment under the Full Announcement link on Grants.gov. If there are issues accessing the announcement, the listed point of contact is Jennifer Fleming, Contract/Agreements Specialist at the National Park Service, reachable by phone at 215-597-6476.
