Opportunity Summary:
This notice describes a National Park Service (NPS) intent to make a single, non-competitive award for a specific cultural project connected to Acadia National Park in Maine. It is explicitly not a request for applications, meaning the public cannot apply for this funding and no competitive proposal process is being opened. Instead, the announcement serves as a transparency step to inform the public that NPS plans to fund defined project activities through an existing partnership mechanism.
The opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number NPS 14 NERO 0015 and is titled "Notice of Intent to Award Maine Acadian Culture Project Acadia National Park, Maine." The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates that NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project, such as coordination, technical input, or shared oversight, rather than simply issuing a standard grant and stepping back. The associated CFDA number is 15.946, Cultural Resources Management, signaling that the work is tied to preservation, interpretation, documentation, or stewardship of cultural resources.
The award is structured as a single-source action to the Maine Acadian Heritage Council, identified as a nonprofit organization with 501(c)(3) status. The notice states that NPS intends to fund the work "without full and open competition" through Task Agreement P14AC00425 under an already-established Cooperative Agreement Number P13AC00191. In practical terms, that means there was a pre-existing cooperative agreement relationship in place, and this action adds or continues a specific set of tasks under that framework rather than soliciting new partners.
Funding details are straightforward and fixed. The estimated total funding is $75,800, and both the award ceiling and award floor are also $75,800, indicating NPS anticipated one award at a set amount rather than a range of possible funding levels. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is not expected to provide a required non-federal match as a condition of receiving the funds.
Key dates show the notice was posted and created on April 24, 2014, with an original and current closing date of April 29, 2014, and an archive date of April 30, 2014. For notices of intent like this, the "closing date" functions more like an administrative window for posting and public visibility rather than an application deadline, since applications are not being accepted.
The announcement repeatedly directs readers to the attachment under the "Full Announcement" link for complete details, which is where the specific project activities, deliverables, or scope would be spelled out in full. For access issues or questions about the announcement itself, the listed contact is Jennifer Fleming, NPS NER Agreements Officer, at 215-597-6476.
