Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS), within the U.S. Department of the Interior, issued a Notice of Intent to Award for a project titled "Upper Housatonic Valley National Heritage Area." This announcement is essentially a public transparency notice stating that NPS plans to provide funding to a specific organization for specific work, and it is not an open call for new proposals. In other words, it is not a competitive grant opportunity where multiple applicants can apply; it is a notice that NPS intends to fund project activities through an existing partnership arrangement.
The funding mechanism is a cooperative agreement, reflecting a relationship where NPS and the recipient typically have substantial involvement together in carrying out the funded activities. The notice identifies the award as Task Agreement J1953109051 under Cooperative Agreement H1953070011, with the intended recipient being Upper Housatonic Valley National Heritage Area, Inc. The opportunity is categorized under the environment activity area and is tied to CFDA (now commonly referenced through assistance listings) number 15.904, Historic Preservation Fund Grants-in-Aid, indicating the work is connected to historic preservation and related heritage priorities rather than, for example, infrastructure or purely scientific research.
Financially, the notice describes a single expected award totaling $150,000, with the award floor and ceiling both set at $150,000, meaning the intended award amount is fixed. The listing also indicates there is a cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is expected to contribute non-federal funds or in-kind support according to the terms of the cooperative agreement and task agreement, even though the specific match percentage is not provided in the summary data. The opportunity was posted and created on June 29, 2010, had an original and current closing date of July 4, 2010, and was archived on July 5, 2010, which is consistent with a notice posting window rather than an application period.
Eligibility is shown as nonprofits with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). However, because the announcement is a notice of intent to award without full and open competition, the eligibility language does not function like a standard competitive solicitation. Practically, the notice signals that Upper Housatonic Valley National Heritage Area, Inc. is the designated partner under the referenced cooperative agreement and task agreement, and the posting is meant to inform the public that NPS intends to proceed with this non-competitive award.
