Opportunity Summary:
The "Operations of the New River Parkway" opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 10 NERO 0068) is a National Park Service notice stating its intent to make a specific award under an existing agreement, rather than a typical competitive grant program. Issued by the United States Department of the Interior, National Park Service (NPS), this announcement is explicitly labeled a NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD and emphasizes that it is not a request for applications. In practical terms, that means the NPS is not soliciting proposals from the public, and organizations should not expect an open competition or a standard application process for this funding notice.
The purpose of the notice is to provide transparency about the NPS plan to fund certain project activities related to operating the New River Parkway. The NPS indicates it intends to do this without "full and open competition" by issuing Modification 0001 to an existing Cooperative Agreement identified as H4506090503. The named cooperator on that cooperative agreement is the New River Parkway Authority, which is the partner entity that will receive the funding through the modification. The NPS directs readers to consult the attachment in the full announcement for the complete details of the intended award and the specific project activities being supported.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, the award is structured as a Cooperative Agreement, which generally signals a more collaborative relationship between the federal agency and the recipient than a standard grant, often involving substantial federal involvement in the supported work. The activity category is listed as Transportation, aligning with the operational and public-access focus implied by a parkway. The opportunity anticipates a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $125,000. The award ceiling and award floor are both $125,000, indicating the intended award amount is fixed rather than a range. No cost sharing or matching requirement is listed, meaning the recipient is not expected to provide a matching contribution as a condition of the federal funding.
The notice also includes basic timeline and status information. It was posted and created on September 23, 2010, with an original and current closing date of September 28, 2010, and an archive date of September 29, 2010. Because this is not a call for applications, these dates function more as administrative milestones for public posting and recordkeeping rather than a true deadline for proposal submission.
Eligibility is listed as nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), which is consistent with the New River Parkway Authority being positioned as the designated cooperator under the existing agreement. However, the key point is that the eligibility listing does not imply that multiple eligible entities can apply in response to this notice; it is a disclosure that the NPS intends to award to a particular partner through a noncompetitive action.
For access issues or questions about the posted materials, the contact listed is Jennifer Fleming, Contract/Agreements Specialist at the National Park Service, reachable by phone at 215-597-6476. The notice also points users to Grants.gov navigation help and general grants information via the "Contact Us" link on the site, but again, the announcement itself is primarily informational rather than an invitation to submit applications.
