Opportunity Summary:
This grant listing is a National Park Service (NPS), U.S. Department of the Interior, Notice of Intent to Award for a project connected to the Thomas Cole Historic House / Thomas Cole National Historic Site. The most important point is that it is not a competitive funding opportunity and it is not asking the public to apply. Instead, it serves as a formal public notice that NPS plans to provide additional funding to a specific recipient through an existing cooperative agreement arrangement, and that the agency intends to do so without full and open competition.
The announcement identifies the funding opportunity number as NPS 13 NERO 0072 and classifies the opportunity as discretionary funding using a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument. The activity category is listed as "Other," with the explanation making clear that the purpose is simply to announce NPS intent to fund project activities through a single-source action. The CFDA program associated with the funding is 15.954, National Park Service Conservation, Protection, Outreach, and Education, which signals that the underlying work is tied to preservation and public benefit activities consistent with NPS mission areas such as resource protection, interpretation, education, and outreach.
In practical terms, the notice explains that NPS intends to add funds by modifying an existing arrangement rather than creating a new open solicitation. Specifically, it references a modification to add funds against Task Agreement P12AC11264 (FBMS number P13AC00010), which was awarded under an already established Cooperative Agreement identified as H1788100001 / P10AC00311. This kind of structure is typically used when NPS is continuing or expanding work that is already underway with a partner organization and wants to document the rationale for a non-competitive award action, while also maintaining transparency through public posting.
The total amount of funding is stated as $149,000, and the notice lists an award ceiling and award floor that are both $149,000, indicating the amount is fixed for this intended action. NPS expects to make one award. A cost sharing or matching requirement is indicated as "Yes," meaning the recipient is expected to contribute some form of non-federal share (cash and/or in-kind), although the exact match percentage or allowable forms of match are not detailed in the text provided and would normally be described in the attachment referenced under the full announcement.
Eligibility is effectively restricted to a single organization. While the eligible applicant category is described as nonprofits with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), the listing also states that this is a single-source award to a nonprofit entity. That phrasing signals that NPS has already selected the intended recipient (or has an existing partner) and is not considering competing proposals from other organizations. The posting and administrative dates reinforce its notice-only nature: it was posted July 10, 2013, with a closing date of July 16, 2013, and archived July 17, 2013, which is typical for notices intended primarily for public transparency rather than solicitation.
For anyone trying to understand next steps, the listing directs readers to the attachment under the "Full Announcement" link for complete details, since notices like this often include the specific scope of work, the justification for single-source action, and the terms of the modification. It also provides a point of contact for access issues or questions: Jennifer Fleming, NPS Northeast Region Agreements Officer, at 215-597-6476.
