Opportunity Summary:
This notice is a public announcement from the National Park Service (NPS) stating its intent to make a single award without full and open competition. It is explicitly not a request for applications, meaning the NPS is not soliciting proposals from the general public and there is no competitive application process associated with this posting. Instead, the purpose is transparency: to inform the public that the agency plans to fund specific project activities through a non-competitive award mechanism.
The opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number NPS 15 NERO 0053 and is categorized as a discretionary opportunity using a Cooperative Agreement as the funding instrument. A cooperative agreement typically indicates that NPS expects to be substantially involved in the project’s execution, such as through collaboration, shared responsibilities, or ongoing technical involvement, rather than simply issuing a grant with minimal federal participation. The funding activity category is labeled as "Other," with the explanation field repeating that this is a notice of intent to award rather than a typical program competition.
The announcement anticipates one award with total estimated funding of $40,225. The award ceiling and floor are both $40,225, which effectively signals a fixed intended award amount for the planned recipient/project. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is not expected to provide additional non-federal funds as a condition of the award. The CFDA listing associated with the notice is 15.945, which corresponds to Cooperative Research and Training Programs and Resources of the National Park System, indicating the work is tied to research, training, or resource-related activities within the National Park System context.
Key dates show the notice was posted and created on June 1, 2015, with an original and current closing date of June 10, 2015, and an archive date of June 11, 2015. In notices like this, the "closing date" does not function like an application deadline for competitors; it generally reflects the public notice period during which the agency posts its intention before proceeding.
Eligibility is broadly labeled as "Others," but the eligibility details do not provide specific categories or requirements because this is not open for applications. In practice, notices of intent to award usually correspond to a predetermined partner or recipient, and the public posting serves to document the agency’s intent to proceed with a non-competitive agreement.
For questions or issues accessing the full announcement, the listed contact is Patrick Reidy, Grants Management Specialist, at (215) 597-5949. An NPS email field is referenced but not fully provided in the source text.
