Opportunity Summary:
The WSR Lower Delaware opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 13 NERO 0132) is a National Park Service (NPS) continuation award under the U.S. Department of the Interior. It falls under the Rivers, Trails and Conservation Assistance program (CFDA 15.921) and is categorized as an environment and natural resources cooperative agreement. The posting is explicitly a Notice of Intent to Award, meaning it is not an open solicitation and not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as public notice that NPS intends to provide funding without full and open competition.
This action is described as a modification to an existing cooperative agreement, specifically Cooperative Agreement P10AC00324 (formerly H4531100521). The purpose is to continue previously approved and ongoing project activities with the current cooperator, Natural Lands Trust. In practical terms, the announcement signals that NPS is extending or amending an existing partnership rather than initiating a new competitive grant round. The announcement directs readers to an attachment in the full announcement for complete project details, indicating that the specific scope of work, deliverables, and any updated terms are contained there.
Funding is set for a single expected award, with an estimated total of $64,198. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as $64,198, which typically indicates a fixed planned amount for the continuation effort rather than a range. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated for this award, so the federal funding is not contingent on the recipient providing non-federal match, at least as reflected in the summary fields.
Eligibility is listed as nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). However, because this is a continuation and a non-competitive intent to fund an existing partner, the eligibility field functions more as a classification of the recipient type than an invitation for new organizations to apply. The posting and creation dates are August 26, 2013, with an original and current closing date of August 30, 2013, and an archive date of August 31, 2013. Those dates reflect the public notice window rather than an application deadline in the usual sense, since applications are not being solicited.
For questions or for help accessing the full announcement materials, the listed contact is Dawn Mach, Contract Specialist, at 215-597-0056. The announcement references WSR Delaware and White Clay Creek Rivers, which suggests the work relates to river corridor conservation, stewardship, recreation planning, or similar technical assistance activities commonly associated with NPS rivers and trails assistance efforts, with the precise tasks documented in the attached full announcement.
