Opportunity Summary:
The "Westfield Wild and Scenic River Assistance" opportunity is a National Park Service (NPS) notice of intent to award funding under the U.S. Department of the Interior. It is explicitly not a request for applications, meaning the agency is not seeking proposals from the general public and there is no open competition process associated with this announcement. Instead, the posting serves as a formal public notice that NPS plans to proceed with an award action through an existing agreement mechanism.
This action is structured as continuation funding through a cooperative agreement, and it involves modifying an existing cooperative agreement (P13AC01254) to add additional funds. The named cooperator is Westfield State Foundation, Inc., acting on behalf of the Westfield River Advisory Commission. In practical terms, this indicates the work is already underway or previously authorized, and NPS intends to extend or support the same effort by increasing the funding under the current agreement rather than starting a new competitive grant cycle.
The total funding amount associated with this modification is $67,000, and both the award ceiling and floor are listed as $67,000, which signals a single, fixed award amount rather than a range. The announcement anticipates one award. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The opportunity is categorized under education, environment, and natural resources, and it is tied to CFDA (now commonly referenced through assistance listing identifiers) 15.921, Rivers, Trails and Conservation Assistance, which generally aligns with NPS technical and partnership support for conservation, recreation, and community-based natural resource initiatives.
Eligibility is listed as nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). However, since this is not an open solicitation and the intent is to fund a specific existing partner through a modification, the eligibility category is largely informational and does not function as an invitation for other organizations to apply.
Key dates reflect the administrative posting window rather than an application period: it was posted and created on August 14, 2014, with an original and current closing date of August 18, 2014, and it was archived on August 19, 2014. Anyone needing access to the full announcement materials was directed to contact Dawn Mach, Contract Specialist, at 215-597-0056, particularly if they had difficulty accessing the attachment referenced in the full announcement.
