Opportunity Summary:
This notice is a National Park Service (NPS) announcement from the U.S. Department of the Interior stating its intent to make a specific, pre-identified award for the "Maine Acadian Culture Project" connected to Acadia National Park in Maine. It is not a competitive grant solicitation and it is not asking the public to submit applications. Instead, it serves as a transparency step to publicly document that NPS plans to fund certain project activities through an existing cooperative agreement mechanism, specifically Task Agreement P15AC00607 under Cooperative Agreement P13AC00191, and to do so without "full and open competition."
The opportunity is listed as a discretionary award using a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument. The total award amount is fixed at $75,800, with the award ceiling and floor both set at $75,800, meaning NPS anticipated one award at that exact amount. The funding is associated with CFDA 15.946, Cultural Resources Management, which signals that the work is tied to preserving, documenting, interpreting, or supporting cultural and heritage resources rather than, for example, construction or law enforcement activities.
Eligibility is effectively limited because this is described as a single-source action. The intended recipient is named directly: the Maine Acadian Heritage Council, identified as a nonprofit entity. In practical terms, that means other organizations are not eligible to compete for these funds because the agency has already selected the recipient and is issuing this notice to inform the public of that decision and the noncompetitive approach.
The announcement also notes that cost sharing or matching is required, indicating the recipient is expected to contribute non-federal resources (cash and/or in-kind support) as part of the overall project effort, though the brief summary text does not provide the specific match ratio or acceptable match categories. Anyone seeking the full scope of work, detailed budget expectations, or the rationale for the single-source determination would need to consult the full announcement materials referenced under the "Related Documents" section on Grants.gov.
Key administrative details include the posting and creation date of May 5, 2015, an original and current closing date of May 14, 2015, and an archive date of May 15, 2015. Since this is not a request for applications, the "closing date" functions more like the end of the public notice period rather than an application deadline. For technical trouble accessing the full announcement, the notice provides a point of contact: Jennifer Fleming, Agreements Officer for NPS Northeast Region, with a listed phone number (215-597-6476).
