Opportunity Summary:

The Paterson Great Falls NHP Youth Conservation Corps opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 13 NERO 0006) is a National Park Service notice stating the agency intended to make an award under a cooperative agreement, but it was not a public competition. In other words, this announcement functioned as a transparency notice rather than a call for new applications. The NPS published it to formally document its plan to add funding to an existing cooperative agreement rather than solicit proposals from multiple organizations through a standard competitive process.

The project focus falls under CFDA 15.931, Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations, and the category explanation makes the purpose clear: supporting conservation-related work carried out by youth service organizations. While the brief public listing does not spell out specific tasks in detail, the title indicates the work was connected to Paterson Great Falls National Historical Park and designed around a Youth Conservation Corps-style model, meaning paid or structured youth engagement in conservation, stewardship, and related park or community resource improvement activities.

This was a single anticipated award with an estimated total funding amount of $70,000, and both the award floor and ceiling were listed as $70,000, which typically signals a fixed planned amount rather than a range. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement identified, so the recipient was not expected to provide a formal match as a condition of receiving the federal funds.

Eligibility was listed generally as 501(c)(3) nonprofits (excluding institutions of higher education), but the notice also explicitly states it was a single-source action without full and open competition. The intended recipient was the New Jersey Community Development Corps, and the mechanism was a modification to add funds to an already-existing cooperative agreement identified as P09AC00195 (formerly H4504093046). Because it was a modification to an existing agreement and not an open solicitation, other eligible nonprofits were not being invited to apply.

Key dates show it was posted and created on March 14, 2013, with an original and current closing date of March 20, 2013, and an archive date of March 21, 2013. Those short timelines are consistent with notices that exist mainly to provide public record of an intended noncompetitive award decision rather than to give applicants time to prepare submissions.

For anyone trying to locate the full context, the notice points readers to an attachment accessible through the “Full Announcement” link in the original posting. The listed point of contact for access issues was Jennifer Fleming, Contract/Agreements Specialist at the National Park Service, reachable by phone at 215-597-6476.
