Opportunity Summary:
This notice is a National Park Service (NPS) announcement stating its intent to make a single, non-competitive award for a project titled "Phase I Survey of the French Encampment Area of Yorktown Battlefield." It is explicitly not a call for applications and should not be read as an opportunity where outside organizations submit proposals for consideration. Instead, it serves as a public transparency step to inform the public that the NPS plans to fund specific project activities without using a full and open competitive process.
The planned award will be issued as a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates that the NPS expects to have substantial involvement during the project (for example, coordinating methods, providing direction or access to park resources, or collaborating on deliverables). The project is categorized under Natural Resources and falls under the CFDA program numbers 15.945, described as Cooperative Research and Training Programs and Resources of the National Park System, signaling that the work is tied to research, documentation, and stewardship activities associated with national park resources.
Financially, the notice indicates a total estimated funding amount of $98,000, and both the award ceiling and award floor are also listed as $98,000. That combination typically means the NPS anticipates making one fixed-size award at that exact amount rather than offering a range of possible award values. Only one award is expected. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is not expected to contribute additional funds as a condition of receiving the award.
In terms of timing, the notice was posted and created on August 13, 2015, with an original and current closing date of August 22, 2015, and an archive date of September 21, 2015. In notices like this, the closing date generally functions as the end of the public notice period rather than an application deadline, since the announcement is not soliciting proposals.
Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others" with a reference to additional eligibility details, but because this is a notice of intent to award without competition, the practical implication is that the NPS already has an intended recipient or partner in mind and is documenting that intention publicly rather than opening the work to all eligible applicants.
The issuing agency is the National Park Service. For access issues or questions about the announcement, the listed point of contact is Patrick Reidy, a Grants Management Specialist, reachable by phone at 215-597-5949, with an NPS email indicated in the contact section of the announcement.
