Opportunity Summary:
This notice describes a National Park Service (NPS) intent to make a single, noncompetitive funding action tied to interpretive programming known as "Once Upon A Nation" at Independence National Historical Park in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It is explicitly labeled as a Notice of Intent to Award and not a request for applications, meaning the public is being informed about an award decision rather than being invited to apply or compete for the funds. The action is being issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service, and is framed as a modification to an existing cooperative agreement rather than a brand-new, open solicitation.
The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, and the specific agreement being modified is Cooperative Agreement P13AC00936 (formerly P12AC30354). The intended recipient is Historic Philadelphia, Inc. (HPI), identified as a nonprofit entity, and the announcement states the award will be made without full and open competition as a single-source action. In practical terms, that means NPS has selected HPI as the sole partner for the described work and is adding funds to continue or expand the approved project activities under the existing agreement, rather than running a competitive grant process.
Financially, the announcement lists an estimated total funding amount of $25,000, with an award floor and ceiling both set at $25,000, which signals the expected award amount is fixed at that level. Only one award is anticipated. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is not expected to provide additional matching funds as a condition of receiving this amount. The assistance listing references CFDA 15.954, National Park Service Conservation, Protection, Outreach, and Education, which aligns with interpretive and public-facing education or outreach efforts conducted in partnership with NPS sites.
Administratively, the opportunity is categorized as discretionary and placed under a general activity category of "Other," with the clarification that it is a notice rather than an application-based grant competition. The posting date and creation date are both September 3, 2014, with an original and current closing date of September 8, 2014, and an archive date of September 9, 2014. Those dates function more as a public notice window for the posting on Grants.gov than as a deadline for applicant submissions, since applications are not being accepted.
For anyone seeking more detail, the notice points readers to an attachment available through the "Full Announcement" link on the Grants.gov posting, and it provides a point of contact for access issues: Jennifer Fleming, Agreements Officer with NPS Northeast Region, reachable by phone at 215-597-6476.
