Opportunity Summary:
The Taunton Wild and Scenic River Assistance opportunity is a National Park Service (NPS) Rivers, Trails and Conservation Assistance program award (CFDA 15.921) that was posted as a Notice of Intent to Award by the U.S. Department of the Interior. The key point is that this notice is not a request for applications. Instead of opening a competitive grant cycle, NPS is publicly documenting its intention to continue funding specific project activities through a non-competitive continuation action.
This award is structured as continuation funding delivered through a cooperative agreement, specifically as a modification to an existing agreement (Cooperative Agreement P12AC31129) with the Southeast Region Economic Development District (SRPEDD). In practical terms, that means NPS is extending or supporting ongoing work already underway with this partner, rather than soliciting new proposals from other organizations. The notice indicates the rationale is to continue projects under the existing cooperative framework, and it references additional details being available in an attachment in the full announcement.
Financially, the opportunity is small and tightly defined: the estimated total funding is $26,000, and both the award ceiling and floor are also $26,000, signaling that NPS anticipated making one fixed-size award. The listing shows one expected award and states there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient would not be required to provide non-federal match as a condition of receiving the funds.
Eligibility is listed as nonprofits that do not have 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), but because this is a continuation and explicitly not open for applications, the practical eligibility is effectively limited to the current cooperator named in the notice (SRPEDD). The opportunity category is “Continuation,” the activity category is “Environment / Natural Resources,” and it aligns with NPS technical assistance and partnership support typically associated with river conservation, recreation planning, and related coordination efforts tied to Wild and Scenic River work.
Timing details reinforce that it was informational rather than competitive: it was posted August 22, 2013, with an original and current closing date of August 26, 2013, and then archived August 27, 2013. The short window is common for notices whose purpose is simply to provide transparency about an intended award action rather than to collect submissions.
For questions or issues accessing the full materials, the notice provides a federal point of contact: Dawn Mach, Contract Specialist, at 215-597-0056, with a reference to “WSR Taunton River,” indicating the Wild and Scenic Rivers context tied to the Taunton River.
