Opportunity Summary:
This opportunity is a National Park Service (NPS) "Notice of Intent to Award" for funding related to the operation, use, and maintenance of the Independence Visitor Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It is listed as Funding Opportunity Number NPS 13 NERO 0020 under CFDA 15.954 (National Park Service Conservation, Protection, Outreach, and Education). The key point is that it is not a competitive grant solicitation and not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as a public notice that the NPS intends to add funding to an existing cooperative agreement (Cooperative Agreement P12AC30033) with a specific organization, the Independence Visitor Center Corporation.
The award instrument is a cooperative agreement, which generally means NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the supported work compared to a standard grant. The planned activity is explicitly tied to Public Law 106-131, which is cited as the authority for supporting the Independence Visitor Center's operations. The announcement states the NPS will proceed "without full and open competition," meaning the agency is not opening the work up for other applicants to compete; it is announcing its intent to fund the identified partner for this specific purpose.
Funding details are narrowly defined. The announcement anticipates a single award (Expected Awards: 1), with total estimated federal funding of $807,500. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as $807,500, indicating the funding amount is fixed for this action rather than a range. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. While the general eligibility category references 501(c)(3) nonprofits, the eligibility information clarifies that this notice is specifically for the Independence Visitor Center Corporation, identified as a nonprofit organization.
In terms of timing and administrative history, the opportunity was posted on March 25, 2013, with an original closing date of March 31, 2013, later revised to a current closing date of June 24, 2013, and an archive date of June 25, 2013. The record also notes a revision to the posting that updated the total FY 2013 federal funding to $807,500. Because this is a notice rather than a solicitation, these dates function more as public posting and recordkeeping milestones than as deadlines for submitting applications.
For anyone trying to find more detail, the announcement directs readers to review the attachment available through the "Full Announcement" link on Grants.gov for the complete terms and context of the intended award action. The listed point of contact for access issues is Jennifer Fleming, Contract/Agreements Specialist at the National Park Service, reachable by phone at 215-597-6476.
