Opportunity Summary:
The Westfield River Westfield Wild and Scenic River Assistance opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 10 NERO 0023) is a National Park Service (NPS) notice stating the agency's intent to make a specific award rather than soliciting new applications. Issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior, this announcement functions as a public transparency notice that NPS plans to fund certain project activities related to assistance for the Westfield River in connection with the Wild and Scenic Rivers program. Importantly, it is explicitly labeled as a "NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD" and "NOT A REQUEST FOR APPLICATIONS," meaning the public cannot apply for this funding through an open competitive process.
The funding instrument is a Cooperative Agreement, and the action described is a modification (Modification 0002) to an existing cooperative agreement, identified as H4507080036. The intended cooperator is The Trustees of Reservations (TTOR), a nonprofit organization. The notice explains that the work will be funded "without full and open competition," which typically indicates the agency is continuing or adjusting an ongoing partnership or project arrangement where a specific partner has already been selected and is being supported to carry forward designated activities.
Financially, the announcement lists a total estimated funding amount of $334,000, and both the award ceiling and award floor are also set at $334,000, suggesting a single, fixed award amount rather than a range. It anticipates one award in total, and there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement stated. The opportunity is categorized under the Environment activity area and is listed as "Mandatory" in the opportunity category field, reflecting that the posting is primarily an administrative notice tied to an intended award rather than a discretionary, competitive grant program.
Eligibility is shown as nonprofits with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), but in practice this eligibility listing does not create an open invitation to apply because the notice is not an application-based competition. The posting dates reflect a short administrative window: it was posted July 2, 2010, with an original and current closing date of July 7, 2010, and it was archived July 8, 2010. Anyone needing the complete details is directed to consult the attachment referenced in the full announcement. For access issues, the contact person listed is Jennifer Fleming, Contract/Agreements Specialist, at 215-597-6476.
