Opportunity Summary:
The Rio Grande National Heritage Area opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP13AC00812) is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding action in the natural resources area, tied to the National Heritage Area assistance program (CFDA 15.939). It is structured as a cooperative agreement, with an estimated total funding amount of $150,000. No cost sharing or matching is required, and the notice lists no formal award ceiling or floor, which is typical when the agency is announcing an internally determined amount for a specific recipient rather than running an open competition.
This notice is not an open call for proposals. Instead, it is a notice of intent to make a single-source, noncompetitive award through a task agreement issued under an existing Master Agreement. In practical terms, that means the NPS already has a broader umbrella agreement in place and intends to add a specific task agreement under that umbrella, rather than soliciting applications from multiple organizations. The agency cites Department of the Interior policy (505 Department Manual 2.12C) as the basis for using a noncompetitive approach.
Eligibility is therefore effectively limited to the identified recipient. While the announcement lists eligible applicants generally as nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), the eligibility information clarifies that the intended awardee is Northern Rio Grande National Heritage Area, Inc. Because the announcement is a notice of intent rather than a request for applications, other organizations are not being invited to apply, and there is no competitive selection process associated with the posting.
The timeline also reflects the administrative nature of the posting. The opportunity was posted and created on July 11, 2013, with an original and current closing date of July 16, 2013, and it was archived on August 15, 2013. That short window is common for notices of intent, which are often posted for transparency and recordkeeping rather than to gather proposals.
For questions or trouble accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact is Kelvin Delaney, Contracting Officer, National Park Service Intermountain Region, phone 303-969-2796.
