Opportunity Summary:
This notice is a National Park Service (NPS) public announcement that the agency intends to make a single cooperative agreement award related to Hurricane Sandy recovery and resiliency work in the National Parks of New York Harbor. It is explicitly a Notice of Intent to Award and not a request for applications, meaning the opportunity was not open for competitive submissions through Grants.gov. Instead, it served to document NPS's intent to fund specific project activities without full and open competition.
The planned award was to be issued as Task Agreement P14AC00445 under an existing, previously competed national cooperative agreement with the Student Conservation Association, Inc. (National Cooperative Agreement P09AC00402, formerly H2495090023). In practice, this indicates NPS had already established a competitively awarded umbrella agreement with the Student Conservation Association and was using that vehicle to support a defined set of Hurricane Sandy-related activities, likely involving conservation corps-style staffing and project delivery focused on post-storm restoration, resilience, and related field work in and around New York Harbor park units.
The funding instrument type listed is a cooperative agreement, which typically means NPS expected to have substantial involvement in the project beyond simply providing funds. The announcement was categorized under "Other" for the activity type, with the clarification that it is a notice rather than a typical competitive program solicitation. The CFDA number associated with the funding is 15.931, Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations, aligning with the Student Conservation Association's role and the use of youth or emerging conservation professionals to perform conservation, restoration, and stewardship work.
Financially, the notice shows an estimated total funding amount of $638,945, with the award ceiling and floor both set at $638,945, indicating the agency anticipated one award at that exact amount. The posting date was September 8, 2014, with an original and current closing date of September 13, 2014, and an archive date of September 14, 2014. The short window reflects that this was not an application period but a required public posting period for transparency around a non-competitive award action. The listing also states that cost sharing or matching was required, suggesting the recipient was expected to contribute non-federal resources (cash or in-kind) consistent with the terms of the underlying cooperative agreement and the specific task agreement.
Eligibility is essentially limited by design: the notice lists eligible applicants as "Others" and clarifies that it is not open competition because the work is being awarded under the existing competed national agreement with the Student Conservation Association, Inc. Anyone looking for the full details was directed to the attachment linked in the full announcement on Grants.gov, and the point of contact provided for access issues was Jennifer Fleming, NPS Northeast Region Agreements Officer, at 215-597-6476.
