Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS), under the U.S. Department of the Interior, issued this notice titled "Wild" as a formal Notice of Intent to Award rather than a competitive grant solicitation. In plain terms, it is not inviting new applications. Instead, it serves as public notification that NPS plans to make a single continuation-style award without full and open competition, using a cooperative agreement mechanism. The purpose is to keep existing project work moving forward under a new cooperative agreement (P13AC01286) that continues activities previously supported under an earlier cooperative agreement (H4507080504) with the Great Egg Harbor Watershed Association.
This opportunity falls under the "Continuation" category and uses a Cooperative Agreement, which typically indicates a more collaborative relationship where the federal agency expects to be substantially involved in the project rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back. The program alignment is listed under CFDA 15.921, Rivers, Trails and Conservation Assistance, and the activity area is Environment and Natural Resources. While the opportunity lists eligible applicants as nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), the structure and language make clear that the intent is to fund a specific existing partner for a specific set of ongoing activities, not to run an open competition among eligible nonprofits.
Funding is straightforward and fixed: NPS anticipated making one award totaling $105,000, with an award floor and ceiling both set at $105,000. No cost sharing or matching funds are required. Key dates indicate the notice was posted and created on August 30, 2013, with an original and current closing date of September 3, 2013, and an archive date of September 4, 2013. These dates function more as administrative milestones for the public notice than as a traditional application window, since the announcement explicitly states it is not a request for applications.
For anyone seeking the full details behind the planned award, NPS directed readers to the attachment under the "Full Announcement" section of the posting. The designated contact for access issues or questions was Dawn Mach, Contract Specialist, reachable by phone at 215-597-0056. The reference to "WSR Great Egg Harbor" suggests a connection to Great Egg Harbor resources or related conservation assistance work, consistent with the Rivers, Trails and Conservation Assistance program focus.
