NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD Multidisciplinary Cultural Resource and Section 106 Project in SHEN | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

This notice is a public announcement from the National Park Service (NPS) stating its intent to make a single cooperative agreement award for a project titled "Multidisciplinary Cultural Resource and Section 106 Project in SHEN." It is explicitly not a solicitation and not a request for applications. In other words, the NPS is not conducting an open competition for this funding; instead, it is publishing the notice to document that it plans to fund specific project activities without full and open competition, which is a standard transparency step when an agency intends to proceed with a non-competitive award.

The opportunity is listed as a discretionary grant action using a Cooperative Agreement as the funding instrument. A cooperative agreement generally indicates that the NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project’s implementation, coordination, or oversight, as opposed to a more hands-off grant. The activity category is labeled under Natural Resources, but the CFDA listing (15.946, Cultural Resources Management) and the project title make clear that the work is centered on cultural resources, including compliance responsibilities associated with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act. "SHEN" in the title is commonly used as the abbreviation for Shenandoah National Park, indicating the project is tied to that park unit.

Funding details are straightforward: the NPS anticipates making one award with total estimated funding of $25,000. The award floor and ceiling are both $25,000, meaning the intended amount is fixed rather than a range. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is not expected to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of the award. The posting date and creation date are both July 14, 2015, with a listed closing date of July 23, 2015, and an archive date of July 24, 2015. In the context of a notice of intent to award (rather than a competition), the "closing date" functions more like an administrative window for public notice rather than a deadline for applicants to submit proposals.

Eligibility is not framed in the usual competitive sense because applications are not being requested. The listing indicates "Eligible Applicants: Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," but the central point remains that the NPS is not inviting proposals from the public. The intent is to fund identified project activities through a non-competitive process, which typically occurs when there is a specific partner, a continuation of existing work, unique qualifications, or another justification permitted under federal assistance rules.

For questions or issues accessing the full announcement, the notice provides a point of contact: Patrick Reidy, Grants Management Specialist, with a listed phone number (215-597-5949) and an NPS email reference (the email address itself is not included in the provided text). Overall, the document functions as a formal transparency notice: one cooperative agreement, $25,000 total, focused on multidisciplinary cultural resource work and Section 106-related efforts associated with SHEN, issued as a non-competitive intended award rather than an open grant opportunity.
