Opportunity Summary:
This Notice of Intent to Award is a National Park Service (NPS) public notice stating that the agency plans to provide additional funding under an existing cooperative agreement for the operation, use, and maintenance of the Independence Visitor Center. It is issued by the United States Department of the Interior, National Park Service, and it is explicitly not a request for applications. In other words, this is not an open grant competition and there is no opportunity for new applicants to apply under this posting. The purpose is transparency: NPS is informing the public that it intends to move forward with funding a specific recipient for a specific set of activities without conducting full and open competition.
The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates that NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project activities compared to a standard grant. The action described is a modification to add funds to an existing cooperative agreement, identified as Cooperative Agreement P12AC30033, with the Independence Visitor Center Corporation. The named recipient is the Independence Visitor Center Corporation, described as a nonprofit entity, and the announcement makes clear that this is a non-competitive award directed to that organization.
The opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number NPS 15 NERO 0014 and is associated with CFDA (Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance) number 15.954, titled "National Park Service Conservation, Protection, Outreach, and Education." While the activity category is listed as "Other," the accompanying explanation emphasizes that the key point is the notice nature of the posting and the intent to award non-competitively rather than soliciting proposals.
Financially, the total funding amount is fixed and fully specified: the estimated total funding is $807,500, and both the award ceiling and award floor are also $807,500. That structure reinforces that this is a predetermined funding action rather than a competitive range. The notice also states there is no cost sharing or matching requirement.
Administratively, the posting date and creation date are January 9, 2015. The original and current closing date are both January 19, 2015, and the archive date is January 20, 2015. Even though a closing date is provided in the listing, it does not function like a typical application deadline because the announcement is not soliciting applications; it is primarily a formal notice window associated with the public posting.
Eligibility is effectively restricted to the intended recipient, since the announcement states the award will be made without full and open competition and identifies the Independence Visitor Center Corporation as the nonprofit awardee. Anyone seeking more detail is directed to the attachment under the "Full Announcement" link (as referenced in the posting), and a contact is provided for access issues: Jennifer Fleming, NPS NER Agreements Officer, at 215-597-6476.
