Opportunity Summary:
The Notice of Intent to Award titled "Lowell National Historical Park Youth Programming School Year 2015-2016 for Trades Skills Team" is a National Park Service (NPS), U.S. Department of the Interior funding notice that serves only as a public disclosure of an intended award. It is not a call for proposals and not a competitive grant opportunity. In other words, the NPS is not inviting applications from the public through this posting; it is simply documenting that the agency plans to move forward with a specific project and recipient without full and open competition.
The award is being issued as a cooperative agreement action, tied to Task Agreement P15AC00766 under an existing Cooperative Agreement (P14AC00340). A cooperative agreement typically means the federal agency anticipates being substantially involved in the project beyond simply providing funds, such as participating in planning, coordination, oversight, or technical guidance. The activity is associated with CFDA 15.931, "Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations," which generally covers youth-focused programs that support conservation, preservation, and related workforce or service-learning experiences. While the posting does not provide detailed program work plans in the text provided, the title indicates the funding supports youth programming during the 2015-2016 school year connected to a "Trades Skills Team" at Lowell National Historical Park, implying hands-on learning or work experiences that build practical trade skills aligned with park needs and preservation work.
This is a single-source award to Community Teamwork Inc. (CTI), identified as a nonprofit organization. Because it is single-source, the announcement clarifies that the NPS intends to fund CTI directly rather than conducting a competitive process. The eligibility field reinforces this point by stating that the announcement is not a request for applications and that the award is intended specifically for CTI.
The financial details are straightforward and fixed: the total estimated funding is $25,000, with an award ceiling of $25,000 and an award floor of $25,000, indicating the NPS anticipated one award at that exact amount. The notice also states that cost sharing or matching is required, meaning the recipient is expected to contribute non-federal resources (cash or allowable in-kind support) toward the project. The posting indicates there would be one expected award.
Key dates in the notice include a posted date and creation date of May 22, 2015, with an original and current closing date of May 31, 2015, and an archive date of June 1, 2015. In this context, the "closing date" functions more like an administrative endpoint for the public notice on Grants.gov rather than a deadline for applicants, since applications are not being solicited.
For access to the complete official notice language, the announcement directs readers to the "Related Documents" section on Grants.gov and to open the full announcement. The listed point of contact for assistance obtaining the full announcement is Jennifer Fleming, NPS NER Agreements Officer, at 215-597-6476.
