Opportunity Summary:
The Ready Reserve Program - Wildland Fire Training: New York State Wildfire and Incident Management Academy opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 11 NERO 0116) is a National Park Service notice stating the agencys intent to make a single cooperative agreement award for wildfire training activities in New York State. It is explicitly labeled as a NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD and not a request for applications, meaning the posting is meant to inform the public that the NPS plans to fund a specific project with a specific partner rather than run an open, competitive grant process.
The purpose of the award is to support wildfire and incident management training through the New York State Wildfire and Incident Management Academy, with the work to be carried out in cooperation with the Central Pine Barrens Joint Planning and Policy Commission. The announcement indicates the NPS intends to proceed without full and open competition, which typically means the agency has identified a particular organization as uniquely suited to deliver the training or has a programmatic reason to use a directed award. The activity category is listed as "Other" with a clarification that the focus is wildfire training.
The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which generally signals that the federal agency expects to be substantially involved in the project beyond simply providing funds (for example, coordinating training objectives, aligning curricula with federal wildfire standards, or participating in planning and oversight). The total estimated funding amount is $60,000, and both the award ceiling and floor are also $60,000, reflecting that this is intended to be one fixed-size award rather than a range of possible awards. The expected number of awards is one, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated.
Eligibility is listed as state governments, but because this is not an open solicitation and is instead a notice of intent to award, the practical implication is that the NPS is not seeking new applicants through this posting. The timeline shown in the record reflects administrative posting dates rather than an application window: it was posted and created on September 20, 2011, with an original and current closing date of September 25, 2011, and archived on September 26, 2011. The CFDA number is shown as 00.000 (Not Elsewhere Classified), which is sometimes used for postings that do not map cleanly to a single established CFDA program listing.
For anyone needing help accessing the full announcement materials, the contact provided is Jennifer Fleming, Contract/Agreements Specialist at the National Park Service, reachable by phone at 215-597-6476. The posting also directs users to Grants.gov help resources for general navigation and grants-related questions, though again the core point of this particular listing is public notice of a planned, noncompetitive cooperative agreement to support wildfire training in New York State.
