Opportunity Summary:

This notice is a National Park Service (NPS) public announcement that it intends to make a single, non-competitive award related to the Essex National Heritage Area. It is explicitly not a solicitation and not an opportunity for the public to apply. Instead, it serves as formal public notice that the NPS plans to fund specific project activities without conducting a full and open competitive process.

The opportunity is listed as a discretionary funding action and the planned funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates that NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project beyond simply providing funds (for example, collaboration on planning, oversight, technical input, or coordination during implementation). The activity category is education, suggesting the funded work is expected to support educational programming, interpretation, outreach, or related public learning efforts connected to the Essex National Heritage Area.

Key administrative details show this action is associated with Funding Opportunity Number NPS 16 NERO 0013 and CFDA 15.939, under the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service (DOI-NPS). The announcement was created and posted on January 26, 2016, with a closing date of February 5, 2016, but the closing date functions more as a posting/notice timeframe rather than an application deadline, since applications are not being requested. The anticipated award amount has a ceiling of $27,000, and NPS expects to make one award.

Eligibility is broadly labeled as "Others," with the implication that clarification would normally be found in an additional eligibility field (not included in the text provided). In practical terms, because the notice is an intent to award without competition, the eligible party is usually a specific organization or partner already identified by the agency for these activities, and the announcement exists to document that intent publicly rather than to invite proposals.
