Opportunity Summary:
This notice is a National Park Service (NPS) "Notice of Intent to Award" related to Hurricane Sandy recovery work at Fire Island National Seashore, focused on supporting a "Rare Plant Intern" project. It is published to meet public notice requirements and to document the agency's intent to fund a specific set of project activities through an existing partnership mechanism rather than opening a new competitive grant round. The announcement is explicit that it is not a request for applications, meaning outside organizations or individuals are not being invited to apply for this funding through Grants.gov.
The NPS plans to make a single award using a cooperative agreement structure, issued as Task Agreement P14AC00275 under a previously competed National Cooperative Agreement (H2495090023). The recipient identified is the Student Conservation Association, Inc. (SCA), a nonprofit youth service and conservation organization. In practical terms, this means the underlying agreement with SCA was already selected through a competitive process, and the NPS is now using that agreement to fund a specific Hurricane Sandy-related work assignment without conducting another open competition for this particular task.
Financially, the opportunity lists an estimated total funding amount of $6,626, with both the award ceiling and floor set at $6,626, indicating a fixed planned award amount. The notice also indicates a cost sharing or matching requirement, which generally means the project expects some portion of support to be contributed by the partner (cash or allowable in-kind contributions), consistent with the terms of the cooperative agreement. Only one award is anticipated.
In terms of classification, the opportunity is labeled under "Other" categories for both the opportunity type and the funding activity, with the explanation clarifying that it is a notice tied to a Hurricane Sandy project rather than a typical open grant competition. The CFDA (now commonly referenced through Assistance Listings) number provided is 15.931, "Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations," which aligns with projects that engage interns or youth corps-style participants in conservation, stewardship, and resource management work.
The timeline shown reflects the administrative posting and archival cycle for the notice rather than an application window. It was posted and created on September 17, 2014, carried an original and current closing date of September 22, 2014, and was archived on September 23, 2014. Since this is not an application-driven opportunity, those dates function mainly as the public notice period.
For anyone needing more details beyond the summary text, the announcement directs readers to the attachment available via the "Full Announcement" link on Grants.gov. It also provides a point of contact for access issues or questions about the notice: Jennifer Fleming, NPS NER Agreements Officer, at 215-597-6476.
