Opportunity Summary:
The "Oral History Project at Catoctin Mountain Park" is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding opportunity focused on cultural resources work, specifically the collection and preservation of oral histories connected to Catoctin Mountain Park. The award is structured as a cooperative agreement rather than a standard contract or open grant competition, meaning the NPS expects to have substantial involvement in shaping, guiding, or participating in the project as it is carried out. The listing indicates the project will be issued through a task agreement under an existing NPS cooperative agreement (Cooperative Agreement No. H3130090029), which is a common mechanism the agency uses when it has an established partnership framework and wants to fund a defined piece of work under that umbrella.
This notice is explicitly a notice of intent for a noncompetitive, single-source award, rather than a request for applications. In practical terms, that means the NPS is not soliciting proposals from the public or from multiple organizations. Instead, the agency has already identified the intended recipient and is documenting its intent to make a direct award in accordance with Department of the Interior policy (cited as 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C), which governs circumstances where a competitive process is not used. The named intended recipient is Frederick Community College, through the Catoctin Center for Regional Studies, and eligibility is therefore not open broadly; the "eligible applicants" field reflects this by indicating "Others" with a clarification that it is a single-source award.
Financially, the opportunity lists an estimated total funding amount of $60,320, with no cost sharing or matching requirement. The award ceiling and floor are shown as $0, which is typical of postings where the primary dollar figure is communicated in the estimated total funding field rather than as a formal ceiling/floor range. The opportunity anticipates one award, reinforcing that this is a single, targeted project rather than a multi-recipient grant program.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity was posted on July 20, 2012, with an original and current closing date of July 27, 2012, and an archive date of August 26, 2012. Because it is not a request for applications, the "closing date" functions more as the end of the public notice period than a deadline for submitting proposals. The funding opportunity number is NPS NOI NCRO R3200120033, and it is associated with CFDA 15.945, which covers Cooperative Research and Training Programs related to resources of the National Park System. The NPS is the issuing agency, and the funding activity category is labeled as "Other," clarified as cultural resources, consistent with an oral history initiative designed to document and preserve historically significant narratives tied to the park and its community context.
