Opportunity Summary:
This notice is a National Park Service (NPS) announcement about its intent to make a single, non-competitive award connected to youth programming at Lowell National Historical Park, specifically for the Spindle City Corps 2014 Maintenance Teams project. It is not a call for proposals and not something organizations can apply to; the purpose is simply to publicly document that NPS plans to fund a specific set of activities through an already-identified partner. The notice is framed as a standard "Notice of Intent to Award," which agencies use to explain that they are proceeding without full and open competition and to provide transparency about where the funding is going.
The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, meaning the project is expected to involve active participation or substantial involvement by NPS rather than operating as a typical hands-off grant. The project is tied to a specific task agreement (P14AC00640) issued to Community Teamwork, Inc. (CTI) under an existing cooperative agreement (P14AC00340). In practical terms, that indicates the relationship and administrative framework were already in place, and this action is a task-specific authorization and funding for defined work related to youth conservation or maintenance activities.
The opportunity is listed under CFDA (now commonly referred to as Assistance Listing) 15.931, "Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations," which signals the programmatic theme: engaging youth in conservation, stewardship, and related work experiences. The activity category is labeled as "Other," with clarification that this is a notice of intent to award rather than an open competition. A cost sharing or matching requirement is indicated as "Yes," meaning the project was expected to include some form of non-federal contribution, though the notice itself does not spell out the exact match type or percentage in the excerpt provided.
Funding totals are clearly defined and fixed. The estimated total funding is $65,800, and both the award floor and award ceiling are also $65,800, which effectively means the anticipated award amount is exactly that figure. Only one award is expected. The posting date is June 3, 2014, with an original and current closing date of June 8, 2014, and an archive date of June 9, 2014. Those dates function more as administrative milestones for the public notice on Grants.gov rather than an application deadline, since applications were not being solicited.
Eligibility is not broadly available because the award is identified as a single-source action to Community Teamwork, Inc., described as a nonprofit organization with 501(c)(3) status. The notice explicitly states that the National Park Service intends to fund CTI without full and open competition, which is a common approach when the agency has determined that a particular organization is uniquely qualified, is already performing related work under an existing agreement, or is otherwise justified under applicable federal assistance and procurement principles.
For anyone seeking the full rationale, detailed scope, or supporting documentation, the notice directs readers to the attachment available through the "Full Announcement" link on Grants.gov. It also provides a point of contact for access issues: Jennifer Fleming, NPS NER Agreements Officer, at 215-597-6476. This reinforces that the listing is primarily about transparency and documentation of an intended award decision rather than an opportunity for new applicants to compete for funding.
