Opportunity Summary:
This notice is a National Park Service (NPS) announcement letting the public know that the agency intends to make a funding action without holding an open competition. It is explicitly labeled a "Notice of Intent to Award" and it is not a request for applications, meaning organizations should not prepare or submit proposals in response to it. The purpose of publishing the notice is transparency: NPS is signaling that it plans to add funds to an existing cooperative agreement rather than run a standard competitive grant process.
The action described is a modification to an existing Cooperative Agreement, identified as P11AC40532, with the Essex National Heritage Commission. The notice indicates this will be a single-source award, directed to that specific organization (a nonprofit entity), and that NPS does not plan to seek other applicants. The program area is tied to NPS support for park programs and falls under CFDA 15.939, National Heritage Area Federal Financial Assistance. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically implies substantial federal involvement or collaboration in carrying out the supported activities, rather than a more hands-off grant relationship.
The total amount associated with this intent to award is $248,356, and the announcement lists the award floor and ceiling as the same amount, indicating the planned award value is fixed at $248,356. Only one award is expected. The posting date is September 4, 2014, with an original and current closing date of September 9, 2014, and an archive date of September 10, 2014. Even though a closing date is shown, it does not function like a normal application deadline because this announcement is not open for applications; the date mainly marks the public notice window for the planned noncompetitive action.
The notice also states there is a cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is expected to contribute non-federal resources (cash and/or in-kind) toward the project costs, consistent with the terms of the underlying cooperative agreement and any amendment adding these funds. Specific project activity details are referenced as being available in an attachment accessible through the "Full Announcement" link, rather than fully described in the summary text shown.
For anyone who cannot access the full notice materials electronically, the point of contact listed is Jennifer Fleming, NPS NER Agreements Officer, at 215-597-6476. The agency responsible is the United States Department of the Interior, National Park Service, and the internal opportunity identifier is Funding Opportunity Number NPS 14 NERO 0144, titled "Notice of Intent to Award - Support Park Programs."
