Opportunity Summary:
This notice describes the National Park Service (NPS), within the U.S. Department of the Interior, intention to make a single, non-competitive award for the Fort McHenry, Baltimore, MD Star Spangled Banner Living Flag Education Program. The key point is that it is a Notice of Intent to Award and explicitly not a request for applications, meaning the public is being informed of an already-planned funding action rather than being invited to submit proposals.
The planned award will be issued as a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates that NPS expects to have substantial involvement in carrying out the project (as opposed to a standard grant where the recipient has more independent control). The funding is being provided through a task agreement identified as P14AC01518, and it is being awarded to Living Classrooms Foundation (LCF), a nonprofit organization, under an existing overarching cooperative agreement (P10AC0322, formerly H4340100619). Because it is a single-source action, no other organizations are eligible to compete for this particular award.
The opportunity is listed under CFDA 15.931, Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations, and the funding activity category is labeled as "Other," with the explanation that this posting is purely a notice of intent to award without full and open competition. The estimated total funding is $65,000, and the announcement sets the award floor and ceiling at the same amount ($65,000), which signals that the intended award amount is fixed rather than a range. A cost sharing or matching requirement is noted as "Yes," meaning the recipient is expected to contribute matching funds or in-kind support consistent with the terms of the cooperative agreement and task agreement.
In terms of timing, the notice was posted and created on August 15, 2014, with an original and current closing date of August 20, 2014, and it was archived on August 21, 2014. Since this is not an application-driven competition, those dates function more like an administrative window for public posting rather than a deadline for submitting proposals.
For anyone seeking more details, the notice directs readers to the attachment available through the full announcement link on Grants.gov. The point of contact for access issues is Jennifer Fleming, NPS NER Agreements Officer, at 215-597-6476.
