Opportunity Summary:
This notice is a National Park Service (NPS) announcement from the U.S. Department of the Interior stating the agency's intent to make a single, non-competitive award for a Hurricane Sandy-related habitat restoration effort connected to the National Parks of New York Harbor. The key point is that it is not an open grant competition and not a request for applications. Instead, it functions as a public transparency notice explaining that NPS plans to fund specific project activities through a cooperative agreement without full and open competition.
The opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number NPS 15 NERO 0139 and is titled "Notice of Intent to Award Hurricane Sandy The National Parks of New York Harbor Habitat Restoration." The funding mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates that NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project beyond simply providing funds, such as participating in planning, coordination, oversight, or technical guidance. The activity category is broadly labeled as "Other," with the explanation clarifying that the posting is strictly a notice of intent to award rather than a solicitation.
NPS indicates that there will be one expected award and that it will be issued as a single-source award to Groundwork USA, identified as a nonprofit organization. In other words, eligibility is effectively limited because the agency has already selected the intended recipient, and the posting is meant to document that decision rather than invite proposals from other organizations.
The total estimated funding amount is $34,999, with an award floor and ceiling both listed at $34,999, meaning the award amount is fixed at that level. The notice also states that cost sharing or matching is required, so the recipient is expected to contribute non-federal resources (cash or in-kind support) to meet the project match requirement, although the brief listing does not specify the exact match percentage or allowable forms of match.
The opportunity is associated with CFDA number 15.931, "Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations," which signals the broader program area NPS is using to support the work. While the short listing does not spell out the specific on-the-ground tasks, the title and context tie the effort to habitat restoration connected to Hurricane Sandy impacts within the New York Harbor national park units, implying activities aimed at ecological recovery and resilience.
In terms of timing, the notice was posted and created on August 30, 2015, with an original and current closing date of September 8, 2015, and an archive date of September 9, 2015. These dates mainly reflect the administrative window for the public notice on Grants.gov rather than a period for accepting applications, since the announcement explicitly states that applications are not being requested.
For anyone needing the complete details, the listing directs readers to the "Related Documents" section on Grants.gov and to open the full announcement. If there are issues accessing the full text, the point of contact provided is Jennifer Fleming, Agreements Officer for NPS Northeast Region, at 215-597-6476.
