Opportunity Summary:
This opportunity is a National Park Service (NPS) Notice of Intent to Award titled "Notice of Intent to Award Support Park Programs Preservation at Salem Maritime" (Funding Opportunity Number: NPS 15 NERO 0136). It is a discretionary funding action being issued by the United States Department of the Interior, National Park Service, and it is structured as a cooperative agreement rather than a traditional grant competition. The key point is that this announcement is not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as public notice that NPS intends to fund specific project activities without full and open competition.
The planned award is a single-source cooperative agreement to the Essex National Heritage Commission, identified in the notice as a nonprofit entity. Because it is single-source, the listing is not inviting other organizations to apply, and eligibility is effectively limited to that named recipient. The funding is tied to supporting park programs and preservation work associated with Salem Maritime, with the activity category broadly labeled as "Other," accompanied by an explanation clarifying that the announcement exists to document the intent to award rather than solicit proposals.
Financially, the opportunity indicates one expected award with a total estimated funding amount of $489,000. The award floor and ceiling are both listed as $489,000, which signals that the NPS anticipated making one award at that fixed amount rather than a range of potential award sizes. A cost sharing or matching requirement is included, meaning the recipient is expected to contribute non-federal resources or matching funds in accordance with the terms of the cooperative agreement and applicable federal assistance rules. The CFDA (now commonly referenced as Assistance Listing) number shown is 15.939, which corresponds to National Heritage Area Federal Financial Assistance, aligning with the involvement of a National Heritage Commission.
In terms of timing, the notice was posted and created on August 20, 2015, with an original and current closing date of August 29, 2015, and an archive date of August 30, 2015. Even though there is a listed "closing date," it does not function like a standard application deadline since the announcement is explicitly not a call for submissions; it is primarily an administrative posting window for transparency.
For additional details, the notice directs readers to consult the full announcement via the "Related Documents" section on Grants.gov. For access issues or questions specifically about obtaining the full announcement, the contact provided is Jennifer Fleming, NPS NER Agreements Officer, at 215-597-6476. For general Grants.gov navigation or broad grant-application guidance, the posting points users to the Grants.gov "Contact Us" resources, though again the central message remains that this particular listing is informational and not open for competition.
