Opportunity Summary:

The Oil Region National Heritage Area opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 11 NERO 0028) is a National Park Service (NPS), U.S. Department of the Interior, continuation funding action issued as a Notice of Intent to Award. The key point is that it is not a request for applications and not an open competition. Instead, the announcement serves as a public notice that NPS intends to fund specific project activities through a noncompetitive arrangement tied to an existing relationship: Task Agreement J4516119001 under Cooperative Agreement H4512109000, with the named cooperator Oil Region Alliance of Business, Industry and Tourism, Inc.

The award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates substantial federal involvement or partnership during the project, rather than a simple pass-through grant. The activity category is listed as Environment, and the assistance is associated with CFDA 15.939, National Heritage Area Federal Financial Assistance. The total expected funding is $303,000, and because both the award ceiling and floor are also $303,000, the intent is for a single fixed-size award rather than a range of possible award amounts. Only one award is expected.

A cost-sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning the recipient is expected to contribute non-federal resources (cash and/or in-kind support) consistent with the terms of the underlying cooperative agreement and task agreement. Eligibility is listed as nonprofits with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), but in practice the notice identifies the intended recipient organization by name, reflecting that this is a continuation/noncompetitive action rather than a competitive grant round open to multiple applicants.

The notice was posted and created on February 17, 2011, with an original and current closing date of February 22, 2011, and an archive date of February 23, 2011. Those dates function more as an administrative posting window for transparency than as a true application deadline, since the announcement is not soliciting proposals. For full project specifics, NPS directs readers to the attachment available under the full announcement. For access issues or questions about the posting, the listed contact is Dawn Mach, Contract Specialist, at 215-597-0056.
