Opportunity Summary:
This notice describes a National Park Service (NPS) "Notice of Intent to Award," meaning it is a public statement that the agency plans to make a specific cooperative agreement award and it is not inviting new applications. In other words, it is not an open competition or a typical grant solicitation; it is primarily a transparency step to inform the public that NPS intends to proceed with a particular partner for a defined set of project activities.
The opportunity is identified as Funding Opportunity Number NPS 12 NERO 0037 and is categorized as a discretionary award using a Cooperative Agreement as the funding instrument. The program is tied to CFDA 15.931, "Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations," which generally supports conservation-related work carried out through youth service and related workforce development or training efforts. The listed activity category is Employment, Labor and Training, signaling that the work likely includes hands-on conservation tasks that also build skills and provide structured work experiences.
NPS states it intends to enter into Task Agreement R4250120049 under an existing Cooperative Agreement (P12AC30653) with the Parks and People Foundation. The key point is that the agency plans to do this "without full and open competition," which is why a notice is posted: to document the intended sole-source (or otherwise non-competitive) approach and provide a public record of the planned action. The notice indicates that additional specifics about the project activities are contained in an attachment under the "Full Announcement" section.
Funding details show an expected single award (ExpectedAwards: 1) with total estimated funding of $85,000. The award floor and ceiling are both $85,000, which strongly implies a fixed, predetermined award amount rather than a range. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement listed, so the recipient is not expected to provide matching funds as a condition of the award.
Eligibility is listed as nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education). Even though eligibility is described in standard terms, this notice is not a request for applications and is specifically associated with the Parks and People Foundation, so other eligible organizations are not being invited to apply through this posting.
Key dates included are a posted and creation date of June 12, 2012, with a closing date of June 18, 2012, and an archive date of July 18, 2012. In the context of a notice of intent (rather than an open solicitation), the "closing date" generally functions as an administrative window for the notice posting rather than an application deadline for competing submissions.
For access issues or administrative questions related to obtaining the full announcement materials, the listed contact is Peggy Wall, Administrative Officer, at 410-260-2473.
