Opportunity Summary:
The SUASCO Watershed Protection opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 14 NERO 0077) is a National Park Service notice of intent to award continuation funding under an existing cooperative agreement, rather than a competitive grant solicitation. In practical terms, the NPS is using this announcement to publicly document that it plans to modify an existing Cooperative Agreement (P12AC30966) by adding additional funds for work related to watershed protection in the SUASCO area, and it is doing so without full and open competition. Because of that, the posting is explicitly labeled "THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR APPLICATIONS," meaning outside organizations are not being invited to apply through this notice.
The funding instrument is a Cooperative Agreement, which typically indicates a more hands-on federal role and close collaboration between the agency and the partner organization compared with a standard grant. The designated cooperator for this continuation action is Sudbury Valley Trustees, a nonprofit organization. The eligible applicant category listed is nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), but the structure of the notice makes clear that the intended recipient is already identified and the action is a continuation/modification to an existing agreement rather than an open competition.
The program is associated with CFDA 15.921, Rivers, Trails and Conservation Assistance, and the activity categories are Environment and Education. The announcement anticipates a single award, consistent with the intent to fund one existing partner. The total estimated funding amount is $46,400, and both the award ceiling and floor are also $46,400, which indicates the NPS planned a fixed increment of funding to be added to the cooperative agreement. No cost sharing or matching is required.
Key dates show this was posted on July 3, 2014, with an original and current closing date of July 7, 2014, and an archive date of July 8, 2014. Those dates are typical for a notice-of-intent posting, where the purpose is public transparency about a pending award action rather than providing an application window. For full project specifics, the announcement directs readers to an attachment under the "Full Announcement" section, and for access issues it lists a contact: Dawn Mach, Contract Specialist, at 215-597-0056.
