Opportunity Summary:
This notice describes a National Park Service (NPS) intent to make a single, non-competitive cooperative agreement award connected to Hurricane Sandy recovery and resiliency work in the National Parks of New York Harbor, carried out with the Student Conservation Association (SCA) through what is described as the SCA Resiliency Corps. It is explicitly labeled as a "Notice of Intent to Award" and not a solicitation, meaning the NPS is not asking the public to apply or compete for the funding. Instead, the purpose is transparency: to publicly document that NPS plans to fund specific project activities through an existing cooperative agreement mechanism rather than running a full and open competition.
The opportunity is posted by the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service, under Funding Opportunity Number NPS 15 NERO 0069, with an activity category listed as "Other" and further clarified as a notice-only action. The funding instrument type is a Cooperative Agreement, and the award is to be implemented as a task agreement under Cooperative Agreement number P15AC00031 with SCA. The CFDA program referenced is 15.931, "Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations," which aligns with SCA's role as a youth-focused conservation service organization supporting hands-on resource work and workforce development.
Financially, the notice indicates there will be one expected award, with an estimated total funding amount of $208,132. The award floor and ceiling are both $208,132, which effectively communicates a fixed planned award amount rather than a range. The notice also states there is a cost-sharing or matching requirement, signaling that some portion of the project costs is expected to be contributed by the recipient and/or partners, though the specific match percentage or allowable sources of match are not detailed in the summary text provided.
In terms of eligibility, the notice makes clear that the "eligible applicant" language is largely procedural because the action is a single-source award. The only intended recipient is the Student Conservation Association, identified as a nonprofit entity. Because it is not a request for applications, other organizations are not invited to apply, and there is no competitive review process associated with this posting. The posting and administrative dates show it was posted and created on June 23, 2015, with a listed closing date of July 2, 2015, and archived on July 3, 2015, which is typical for notices that are posted for a short period to satisfy public notice requirements.
Anyone needing the complete details is directed to the "Full Announcement" in the related documents on Grants.gov, and the notice includes a point of contact for access issues: Jennifer Fleming, NPS Northeast Region (NER) Agreements Officer, at (215) 597-6476.
