Opportunity Summary:
This notice describes a National Park Service (NPS) funding action connected to Lowell National Historical Park youth programming, specifically the Spindle City Corps (SCC) 2013 Trades Skills Team. It is published as a "Notice of Intent to Award," which is meant to publicly document the government agency's plan to make an award. It is explicitly not a request for applications, meaning the NPS is not soliciting proposals from the public and there is no competitive application process associated with this posting.
The NPS indicates it intends to fund the described work without full and open competition through a task agreement, identified as P13AC00477, issued to Community Teamwork, Inc. (CTI). This task agreement is made under an existing cooperative agreement framework (H1780090027/P09AC00214). In practical terms, this means the agency is using an already-established partnership vehicle with CTI to carry out project activities related to youth conservation and trades skills programming, rather than running a new competition.
The opportunity is categorized as discretionary and uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, signaling that NPS expects to be substantially involved in the project beyond simply providing funds (a typical feature of cooperative agreements compared to standard grants). The activity category is listed as "Other," with clarification that the announcement is only to provide notice of the intended sole-source funding action. The CFDA listing attached to the opportunity is 15.931, "Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations," aligning the project with youth-focused conservation, stewardship, and skill-building work supported by federal resources.
Funding details are straightforward and fixed. The estimated total funding is $28,000, and both the award ceiling and award floor are also $28,000, indicating the NPS anticipated a single award at that exact amount rather than a range of potential awards. The posting lists an expected number of awards of one, consistent with the stated sole-source intent to fund CTI. The notice also states there is a cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is expected to contribute some portion of resources (cash or allowable in-kind contributions) as part of the overall project, though the percentage or specific structure is not provided in the text shown.
Eligibility is listed as nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), but the accompanying eligibility note makes clear this is a sole-source award to a nonprofit entity. In effect, while a general eligibility category is named, the action is directed to a specific organization (CTI) under the existing agreement, so other nonprofits are not being invited to apply through this announcement.
Key administrative dates show the notice was posted and created on May 31, 2013, with an original and current closing date of June 4, 2013, and an archive date of June 5, 2013. Because this is not an application opportunity, those dates function more as a public notice window rather than a traditional deadline for proposal submissions.
For anyone needing access to the full announcement materials or having trouble retrieving the attachment referenced in the notice, the listed point of contact is Jennifer Fleming, NPS NER Agreements Officer, at 215-597-6476. The funding opportunity number is NPS 13 NERO 0035, and the agency is the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service.
