Opportunity Summary:

This notice is a National Park Service (NPS), U.S. Department of the Interior, "Notice of Intent to Award" for a Hurricane Sandy-related project titled "Natural Resource Data Manager." It is explicitly not a request for applications, meaning the NPS is not seeking proposals from the public or opening a competitive application process. Instead, the purpose of the posting is to give public notice that the agency plans to fund a specific set of project activities through an existing partnership mechanism.

The award will be made without full and open competition through Task Agreement P15AC00040, which is issued under a previously competed National Cooperative Agreement P09AC00402 (formerly H2495090023). The identified recipient is the Student Conservation Association, Inc. (SCA), a nonprofit youth service and conservation organization. The funding is tied to Hurricane Sandy recovery efforts, and the role described by the title suggests the supported work centers on managing natural resource data connected to those recovery activities, likely including organizing, maintaining, and supporting access to datasets used for restoration, monitoring, and resource management decisions in affected park areas.

From a funding and administrative standpoint, the opportunity is categorized as "Other" and uses a cooperative agreement instrument, which generally indicates substantial involvement by the federal agency in carrying out the project compared with a standard grant. The total estimated funding amount is $19,000, with both the award floor and ceiling set at $19,000, indicating a single, fixed-size award is planned. Only one award is expected. A cost sharing or matching requirement is listed as "Yes," meaning the recipient is expected to contribute non-federal resources (cash or allowable in-kind support) toward the overall project, consistent with the terms that would be spelled out in the underlying cooperative agreement and task agreement.

Key listing details include Funding Opportunity Number NPS 15 NERO 0002 and CFDA (now commonly referred to as Assistance Listing) 15.931, "Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations." The notice was posted and created on November 5, 2014, with an original and current closing date of November 10, 2014, and an archive date of November 11, 2014. In this context, the "closing date" functions more like an administrative window for the public notice rather than a deadline for applications, since applications are not being accepted.

For anyone needing the full documentation, the notice directs readers to an attachment available through the "Full Announcement" link on Grants.gov. If there are issues accessing the announcement, the contact listed is Jennifer Fleming, NPS NER Agreements Officer, reachable by phone at 215-597-6476.
