Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS), part of the U.S. Department of the Interior, posted a notice describing its intent to make a single, specific cooperative agreement award for a project titled "Produce War of 1812 Guidebook in Partnership with National Geographic Society." This posting is explicitly labeled as a Notice of Intent to Award and is not a request for applications, meaning the NPS was not seeking competing proposals from the public. Instead, the purpose of the announcement was to provide transparency that the agency planned to move forward with a particular partner and agreement without full and open competition.
The funding instrument for the project is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates the NPS expected to have substantial involvement in the work (as opposed to a standard grant where the recipient typically operates more independently). The opportunity is categorized under discretionary funding, with an activity focus in education and natural resources, and it is associated with CFDA number 15.946 for Cultural Resources Management. The notice states that the agreement referenced is Cooperative Agreement P12AC31099, with the identified cooperator being the New England Interstate Water Pollution Control Commission, acting on behalf of the Lake Champlain Basin Program. While the title mentions partnership with the National Geographic Society, the named cooperator in the notice is the New England Interstate Water Pollution Control Commission representing the Lake Champlain Basin Program, suggesting the work was being organized through that entity for the project described.
Financially, the announcement indicates there would be one expected award with total estimated funding of $59,963. The award floor and ceiling are both listed as $59,963, which typically means the amount was effectively fixed for this planned agreement rather than being a range that could vary. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement noted, so the recipient was not expected to contribute a mandatory financial match as a condition of the award.
In terms of timing, the opportunity was posted on August 9, 2012, with an original and current closing date of August 14, 2012, and it was archived on August 15, 2012. Since this was not an open competition, those dates function more as a public notice window and administrative timeline rather than an application period. Eligibility is listed as nonprofits with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), but in the context of a sole-intent award notice, this mainly reflects the type of entity the NPS was partnering with rather than an invitation for new applicants to apply.
For anyone needing access to the full announcement materials, the notice provides a point of contact: Keith Zotti, Partnership Program Specialist, with a phone number (215-597-9153). The announcement also notes that additional details were available in an attachment under the full announcement, indicating that the public-facing summary was intentionally brief and that the technical scope, deliverables, and other administrative terms were likely contained in the attached documentation.
