Opportunity Summary:
The South Park National Heritage Area grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIR1264120027) is a National Park Service (NPS) financial assistance action intended to support the designated managing entity for the South Park National Heritage Area. It is rooted in federal legislative authority, specifically Public Law 111-11, which established or governs the heritage area framework and authorizes federal support for the local entity responsible for management and implementation. The assistance is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning NPS expects to have an ongoing role in coordinating with the recipient rather than simply issuing a one-time, hands-off grant. The program falls under the Natural Resources activity category and is tied to CFDA 15.939 (National Heritage Area Federal Financial Assistance), which is the standard federal assistance listing used for National Heritage Area funding.
This notice is not an open competition. It is explicitly identified as a single-source award based on legislative intent (referencing 505 DM 2.14(3)), which is the Department of the Interior policy basis for making a directed award when Congress or authorizing law indicates a specific intended recipient. In practical terms, that means the opportunity is reserved for the official managing entity already recognized for the South Park National Heritage Area under the referenced cooperative agreement and authorizing statute. The listing even clarifies that it is a single-source task agreement under an existing cooperative agreement (H1264090016), reinforcing that the funding is an increment or action within an established relationship rather than a new, broadly available grant competition.
Funding details show an estimated total of $147,000, with one expected award. No formal award ceiling or floor is listed, which typically indicates the agency is publishing the anticipated amount without setting an applicant-driven range, consistent with a directed award. Cost sharing or matching is required, meaning the managing entity must provide non-federal support (cash and/or eligible in-kind contributions) consistent with the National Heritage Area program rules and the terms of the cooperative agreement. These matches commonly include partner contributions, donated services, volunteer time (when allowable), or other local and private support that demonstrates shared investment in heritage area goals.
The timing of the announcement reflects an administrative notice rather than an application window in the usual sense. It was posted and created on April 30, 2012, with an original and current closing date of May 4, 2012, and it was archived on June 3, 2012. Because the notice states it is not a request for applications, the "closing date" functions more as a posting lifecycle milestone than a deadline for public submission. Eligible applicants are therefore not the general public or typical categories like state or local governments; the intended eligible party is the single designated managing entity, described under the listing's eligibility clarification.
For access issues or administrative questions, the listed point of contact is Kristin ONeil, Contract Specialist, reachable by phone at 970-586-1236. Overall, the opportunity is best understood as a legislatively directed, cooperative-assistance funding action to help the South Park National Heritage Area managing entity carry out heritage conservation, interpretation, partnership-building, and related implementation work consistent with the purposes of the National Heritage Area designation and the terms set by NPS under the existing cooperative agreement.
