Opportunity Summary:
This notice is a National Park Service (NPS) "Notice of Intent to Award" for youth programming at Lowell National Historical Park, specifically the Spindle City Corps 2013 Maintenance Teams project. It is not an open grant competition and not a request for applications. Instead, it functions as a public transparency posting to inform the public that NPS plans to fund a specific set of project activities through a pre-existing cooperative agreement, rather than soliciting proposals from multiple organizations.
The opportunity is listed as a discretionary award using a Cooperative Agreement funding instrument, tied to CFDA number 15.931, "Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations." The activity category is described as a youth program, and the project is structured as a single expected award. The total anticipated funding amount is $72,500, and because both the award ceiling and floor are $72,500, the notice indicates a fixed intended award amount rather than a range.
The award is described as a sole-source action to a nonprofit organization. The named recipient is Community Teamwork, Inc., operating under an existing Cooperative Agreement (H1780090027) with NPS, and the specific work is identified under Task Agreement P13AC00348. Because it is sole source and issued under an existing agreement, the eligible applicant language (501(c)(3) nonprofits other than institutions of higher education) is essentially informational and does not mean other organizations can apply for this particular funding action.
A cost sharing or matching requirement is indicated as "Yes," meaning the project expects some form of non-federal contribution (cash or in-kind) consistent with the terms of the cooperative agreement and the task agreement, even though the public notice does not lay out those details directly. The posting dates show it was published May 10, 2013, with a closing date of May 15, 2013, and archived May 16, 2013. In the context of a notice of intent, these dates are better understood as the window for public posting rather than an application period.
For anyone seeking the complete specifics, NPS directs readers to the attachment available under the full announcement link on Grants.gov. The notice also provides a point of contact for access issues: Jennifer Fleming, Contract/Agreements Specialist at the National Park Service, with a listed phone number of 215-597-6476.
