Opportunity Summary:
The WSR Musconetcong River Conservation opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 14 NERO 0083) is a National Park Service notice stating the agency's intent to make a non-competitive continuation award. It is explicitly labeled as a "Notice of Intent to Award" and "NOT A REQUEST FOR APPLICATIONS," meaning it is not open for new proposals and is being published mainly to meet public transparency requirements around federal funding decisions.
This action is structured as a continuation/modification under an existing cooperative agreement (P13AC01331) with the Musconetcong Watershed Association. In practical terms, that means NPS is extending or amending an ongoing partnership rather than selecting a new recipient through a full and open competition. The project focus, reflected in the title, centers on conservation work connected to the Musconetcong River under the Wild and Scenic Rivers (WSR) context, and it falls within the broad activity areas of education, environment, and natural resources.
The award profile is straightforward: NPS anticipates making one award with a total estimated amount of $96,000. The ceiling and floor are both listed as $96,000, which typically indicates a single, fixed planned funding amount for this continuation action rather than a range of potential award sizes. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement noted, so the recipient is not required to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of receiving this federal support.
Although the listing includes an "Eligible Applicants" field indicating that qualifying applicants are nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), the key limitation here is that the announcement is not competitive and is intended to continue work with the identified cooperator, the Musconetcong Watershed Association. As a result, eligibility criteria are largely informational and do not imply that other organizations can apply for this specific funding action.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity was posted July 10, 2014, with an original and current closing date of July 14, 2014, and it was archived July 15, 2014. The assistance listing references CFDA 15.921, Rivers, Trails and Conservation Assistance, tying the project to a longstanding NPS assistance program that supports community-based conservation, river and trail initiatives, and related partnership efforts.
For access issues or questions about the full announcement materials, the listing provides a point of contact: Dawn Mach, Contract Specialist, at 215-597-0056. The announcement also notes that full details were provided via an attachment under the "Full Announcement" section, which would typically contain the specific continuation scope, deliverables, and terms associated with the modification to the cooperative agreement.
