Opportunity Summary:
The Wheeling National Heritage Area opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 11 NERO 0011) is a National Park Service (NPS), U.S. Department of the Interior notice stating the agency's intent to make an award under an existing cooperative agreement for the Wheeling National Heritage Area. It is explicitly labeled a "Notice of Intent to Award" and "not a request for applications," meaning the announcement is not inviting competitive proposals or new submissions. Instead, it serves as a public transparency notice that the NPS plans to add funding to Cooperative Agreement H4515100001 with the Wheeling National Heritage Area Corporation, rather than conducting full and open competition.
The funding mechanism is a Cooperative Agreement, which typically indicates an ongoing partnership relationship where the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the project compared with a standard grant. The activity category is tied to the National Heritage Area program (CFDA 15.939), and the announcement indicates a cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is expected to contribute non-federal resources alongside the federal funds, consistent with many heritage area assistance arrangements.
Financially, the announcement anticipates a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with total estimated funding of $637,000. The award ceiling and award floor are both listed as $637,000, which effectively signals that the planned incremental funding amount is fixed at that level rather than a variable range. The posting date is December 15, 2010, with an original and current closing date of December 20, 2010, and an archive date of December 21, 2010. Because this is not an open competition, those dates function more as administrative timelines for the public notice period and recordkeeping than as a true application deadline.
Eligibility is shown as nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), aligning with the identified intended recipient, the Wheeling National Heritage Area Corporation. Anyone looking for the specific project activities and the formal rationale for making the award without full and open competition is directed to the attachment available through the "Full Announcement" link, which contains the complete details of the intent-to-award documentation. For access issues or further assistance, the listed point of contact is Jennifer Fleming, Contract/Agreements Specialist at the National Park Service, reachable by phone at 215-597-6476.
