Opportunity Summary:
The Sangre de Cristo National Heritage Area grant opportunity is a National Park Service (NPS) notice stating the agency's intent to provide federal financial assistance to the Sangre de Cristo National Heritage Area, Inc., which is the congressionally recognized managing entity for the Sangre de Cristo National Heritage Area. The funding is being provided under the authority of the Omnibus Public Land Management Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-11), the law that formally established the heritage area and identified its management structure. In practical terms, this opportunity supports natural and cultural resource stewardship and related heritage area activities carried out by the designated local management organization in coordination with the NPS.
This announcement is categorized as a mandatory, single-source award and is not an open competition. It is explicitly described as a "Notice of Intent" rather than a request for applications, meaning outside organizations are not being asked to apply. The NPS is issuing this as a single-source task agreement under an existing cooperative agreement (H1263100008). The justification given is legislative intent under federal policy (referenced as 505 DM 2.14(3)), which is used when Congress or authorizing legislation effectively directs funding to a specific entity.
The anticipated award amount is $149,000 in total estimated funding, with an expected number of awards listed as one (the listing indicates the award expectation tied to this single recipient). The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically implies substantial federal involvement compared with a standard grant, such as coordination, technical input, or shared oversight between the NPS and the managing entity while project activities are carried out. The assistance is associated with CFDA 15.939, National Heritage Area Federal Financial Assistance, and the activity category is listed as Natural Resources. The opportunity includes a cost-sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is expected to provide non-federal match or in-kind contributions consistent with the terms of the cooperative agreement and program rules, even though the specific match ratio is not spelled out in the summary data provided.
Key timing details show the opportunity was posted and created on May 14, 2012, with an original and current closing date of May 18, 2012, and an archive date of June 17, 2012. The short window reflects that this is not a competitive solicitation but an administrative notice tied to an intended award. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as $0, which is a common artifact in notices that are not structured as open application competitions and instead reference a predetermined funding amount elsewhere in the announcement.
Eligibility is effectively limited to the named managing entity, Sangre de Cristo National Heritage Area, Inc., as stated in the eligibility information. The announcement notes that eligible applicants are "Others" with clarification in additional information, but the text makes clear that the action is a single-source arrangement for the legislatively designated organization rather than a program open to new applicants.
For assistance accessing the full announcement, the NPS provided a contact: Kristin ONeil, Contract Specialist, at 970-586-1236.
