Opportunity Summary:

This notice is a National Park Service (NPS), U.S. Department of the Interior funding announcement titled "Notice of Intent to Award The Last Green Valley National Heritage Corridor" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 15 NERO 0035). It is classified as a discretionary opportunity using a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, and it falls under the National Heritage Area assistance program (CFDA 15.939). The key point is that this posting is strictly a public notice of the agency's intent to make an award and is not a request for applications, meaning there is no competitive application process associated with this announcement.

The NPS explains that it intends to fund specific project activities without full and open competition. The work is tied to Task Agreement P15AC00432 under an existing Cooperative Agreement P15AC00411. In practical terms, this kind of notice is typically used when an agency has already identified the recipient and is documenting its intent to proceed with a non-competitive or single-source action, often because the recipient is uniquely positioned to carry out the authorized work for that particular program or geographic area.

The award is expected to be made to a single recipient: The Last Green Valley, Inc., identified as a nonprofit entity. The posting lists "Expected Awards: 1" and sets the estimated total funding at $534,665, with an award ceiling and award floor both at $534,665, which indicates the anticipated award amount is fixed at that level for this action. The announcement also states that cost sharing or matching is required, meaning the recipient is expected to contribute non-federal resources (cash and/or in-kind support) in accordance with the terms of the cooperative agreement and program requirements.

Key dates included in the posting are a posted date of April 16, 2015, with an original and current closing date of April 25, 2015, and an archive date of April 26, 2015. Even though a closing date is shown, it does not function like a typical application deadline because the notice is not soliciting proposals; instead, it serves as a time-bounded public posting associated with the intent to award.

For anyone trying to review the full details, the announcement directs readers to the "Related Documents" section on Grants.gov and to open the "Full Announcement." If there are issues accessing the materials, the point of contact provided is Jennifer Fleming, NPS Northeast Region Agreements Officer, at 215-597-6476.
