Opportunity Summary:
This notice is a National Park Service (NPS) "Notice of Intent to Award" for youth programming at Lowell National Historical Park under the Spindle City Corps 2015 Maintenance Teams project. It is not a competitive grant solicitation and it is not asking the public to submit applications. Instead, it serves as a public transparency posting that the NPS plans to fund a specific set of project activities through an existing assistance relationship, using a task agreement (P15AC00761) issued under a cooperative agreement (P14AC00340). In other words, the government is announcing ahead of time that it intends to move forward with a pre-identified partner rather than opening the work up for competition.
The award is being made as a cooperative agreement, which typically means the NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project as it is carried out (for example, coordination, technical input, or participation in planning and oversight), rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back. The funding falls under CFDA 15.931, "Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations," which aligns with efforts that combine conservation or park-related work with structured youth employment, training, and service opportunities. The activity category is listed as "Other," with the clarification that the key purpose of the announcement is the intent-to-award notice itself.
The planned award is a single-source action to Community Teamwork, Inc. (CTI), identified as a nonprofit entity. Because it is single source and not competed, the "eligible applicants" field is effectively informational rather than invitational; the notice explains that this specific recipient has been selected and that there is expected to be one award total. The posting also states there is a cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the project is expected to include some level of non-federal contribution (cash or in-kind), though the brief summary provided does not break down the match amount or the form it must take.
Financially, the opportunity lists an estimated total funding amount of $72,800, and both the award floor and award ceiling are also $72,800. That indicates the NPS anticipated a single award at that exact amount rather than a range of possible award sizes. Key dates in the posting include a posted date of May 22, 2015, an original closing date of May 31, 2015, and a current closing date of June 18, 2015, with an archive date of June 19, 2015. For a notice of intent to award, these dates function more like administrative posting windows on Grants.gov rather than an application deadline, since no applications are being requested.
For anyone trying to locate the full details, the notice directs readers to use the "Related Documents" section on Grants.gov and select "Full Announcement" for the complete write-up. If there are issues accessing the announcement electronically, the listed point of contact is Jennifer Fleming, NPS Northeast Region Agreements Officer, at 215-597-6476.
