Opportunity Summary:
This opportunity is a National Park Service (NPS) notice of intent to award funding under the Department of the Interior, and it is explicitly not a request for applications. In other words, it is not an open, competitive grant solicitation where multiple organizations submit proposals. Instead, the NPS is publicly announcing that it intends to provide funding through a specific, already-established cooperative agreement with the Virginia Department of Forestry, using a related task agreement (Task Agreement J4504103030) under Cooperative Agreement H4504070106. The purpose of issuing the notice is mainly transparency: it documents the government’s plan to make an award without full and open competition.
The project focus is wildland fire training delivered through the Ready Reserve Program under the National Fire Plan framework. The training activities referenced include the Virginia Statewide Wildfire Academy, the Southwest Virginia Wildland Fire Academy, the Mid Atlantic Fire Compact Academy, and additional county-level training. Collectively, these activities point to a statewide and regional training effort aimed at building and maintaining readiness for wildland fire response, including skills and coordination relevant to wildland-urban interface conditions. The listing ties the work to CFDA 15.228 (National Fire Plan - Wildland Urban Interface Community Fire Assistance), which is commonly associated with preparedness, mitigation, and community assistance efforts connected to wildfire risk, especially where development meets fire-prone landscapes.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is categorized as “Mandatory” and uses a “Cooperative Agreement” funding instrument. A cooperative agreement typically indicates the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the project, such as participation in planning, coordination, oversight, or technical guidance, rather than simply issuing a grant and stepping back. Eligible applicants are limited to state governments, which aligns with the stated intent to fund the Virginia Department of Forestry as the cooperator rather than soliciting broader applicants. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed, meaning the recipient is not required by the announcement to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.
Financially, the opportunity indicates a single expected award, with total estimated funding of $99,364. The award floor and ceiling are both listed as $99,364, which usually means the funding amount is fixed for this action rather than a range. The notice was posted and created on September 9, 2010, with an original and current closing date of September 14, 2010, and it was archived on September 15, 2010. Those dates are largely procedural in this context because the announcement is not seeking applications; they reflect the public posting window for the notice.
Anyone trying to access the full details would be directed to the attachment referenced under the full announcement on grants.gov, since the notice states that complete details are provided there. For access issues, the contact listed is Jennifer Fleming, Contract/Agreements Specialist, at 215-597-6476. Overall, the key takeaway is that this is a targeted, non-competitive funding action by NPS to support Virginia’s wildland fire training academies and county-level training under the Ready Reserve Program, executed through an existing cooperative agreement structure rather than an open call for proposals.
