Opportunity Summary:
This notice describes a National Park Service (NPS), U.S. Department of the Interior, intent to make a single, specific award related to youth-led conservation work at Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historical Park in Vermont. It is explicitly labeled a "Notice of Intent to Award" and not a request for applications, meaning the NPS was not seeking proposals from the public and was instead publishing a formal public notice that it planned to fund a particular partner without full and open competition.
The planned award was structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates that NPS expected to have substantial involvement in the project beyond simply providing funds (for example, coordinating work plans, setting priorities, or providing technical direction alongside the recipient). The identified recipient was the Vermont Youth Conservation Corps, and the agreement referenced in the notice was Cooperative Agreement P12AC30703. The project focus fell under "Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations," aligning with CFDA (Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance) number 15.931, which supports conservation work carried out by youth service and conservation corps-type organizations.
Financially, the opportunity listed an estimated total funding amount of $40,373, and both the award floor and award ceiling were also $40,373, signaling that NPS anticipated one award at a fixed amount rather than a competitive range of potential awards. Only one award was expected. The notice also stated that cost sharing or matching was required, meaning the recipient would need to contribute non-federal resources (cash or in-kind support, depending on the agreement terms) as part of the overall project cost. The eligibility description indicates the recipient organization was a nonprofit with 501(c)(3) status, and the listing categorized eligible applicants under an "Others" type, with the additional clarification that the intended recipient met the nonprofit requirement.
In terms of timing and administrative details, the opportunity was posted and created on June 18, 2012, with an original and current closing date of June 24, 2012, and an archive date of June 25, 2012. These dates are best understood as the window for public notice and administrative posting on Grants.gov rather than a period for submitting applications, since the announcement was not competitive. For anyone needing the full text, the notice directed readers to view the attachment available through the "Full Announcement" link on Grants.gov, and it provided a point of contact for access issues: Jennifer Fleming, Contract/Agreements Specialist at the National Park Service, reachable by phone at 215-597-6476.
