Opportunity Summary:

The National Park Service (NPS) issued this announcement as a Notice of Intent to Award for a project titled "Task Agreement for Historic RCA Site Inventory at Point Reyes National Seashore." It is not a competitive solicitation and not a Request for Applications. Instead, the purpose of the posting is simply to give the public formal notice that NPS plans to fund a specific set of project activities without full and open competition, using an existing cooperative framework that is already in place with a designated partner.

The opportunity is structured as a Cooperative Agreement under an umbrella Cooperative Agreement previously established between NPS and the identified cooperator, the Maritime Radio Historical Society. Under that umbrella agreement, NPS can issue individual task agreements for defined pieces of work. In this case, the task agreement focuses on cultural resources management, specifically an inventory of historic RCA-related site resources at Point Reyes National Seashore. The announcement indicates that further rationale for the single-source (noncompetitive) approach is documented in an attached Notice of Intent and Single Source Justification.

Funding for this task agreement is anticipated to be up to 250,000 dollars in total, and the announcement states that total anticipated awards from this task agreement should not exceed that amount. The estimated total funding is 250,000 dollars, with an award ceiling of 250,000 dollars and an award floor of 0 dollars. NPS expected to make one award.

Eligibility is listed broadly as nonprofits with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), but the practical reality of this notice is that it is tied to a pre-identified partner rather than an open competition. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement noted. The opportunity is categorized under CFDA 15.946 (Cultural Resources Management), and the activity category is "Other," clarified as Cultural Resources Management.

Key administrative details include the funding opportunity number P14AS00371, a posted date and creation date of September 15, 2014, and a closing date of September 18, 2014, reflecting the short public-notice window typical of intent-to-award postings rather than an application period. The archive date is September 26, 2014. For access issues or questions about the announcement, the NPS contact listed is Yvonne Morales, reachable at (415) 464-5221 or yvonne_morales@nps.gov.
