Opportunity Summary:
The opportunity titled "Notice of Intent to Establish 5 Year Cooperative Agreement with Earthcorps" (Funding Opportunity Number P12AC300638) is a National Park Service notice stating the agency plans to make a single-source award rather than run an open, competitive funding process. In other words, it is explicitly not a standard Funding Opportunity Announcement where multiple applicants submit proposals for review. Instead, it is a formal public notice that the agency intends to enter into a cooperative agreement with one specific recipient, EarthCorps, and that the notice is being issued to satisfy federal policy requirements for awards over $25,000 (referencing 505 DM 2).
The planned award is a discretionary cooperative agreement within the environment activity category, and it is structured as a five-year arrangement. Cooperative agreements differ from typical grants in that the federal agency generally expects to have substantial involvement in carrying out the project, such as collaborating on planning, technical direction, oversight, or coordination, rather than simply providing funds and receiving reports. The notice indicates there is expected to be one award total, consistent with the single-source intent.
Funding is listed with an estimated total of $100,000, with an award ceiling of $100,000 and an award floor of $20,000. No cost sharing or matching requirement is indicated, meaning the recipient is not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of the award, at least as presented in the notice. The CFDA program number tied to the action is 15.931, "Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations," which signals that the work supported under this agreement is associated with conservation and related activities carried out through youth service organization programming, a common National Park Service approach for accomplishing resource stewardship projects while providing hands-on service and training opportunities.
Eligibility is described broadly as nonprofits with IRS 501(c)(3) status other than institutions of higher education; however, because this is a notice of intent to award to a single source, the practical effect is not to invite competing applications. The posting date and creation date are both June 7, 2012, with an original and current closing date of June 15, 2012, and an archive date of July 15, 2012. Those dates reflect the public notice window rather than an application deadline in the typical competitive sense.
The administering office identified is Olympic National Park, and the listed point of contact for access issues is Susan Velie, Contract Specialist, reachable by phone at 360-565-3114.
