Opportunity Summary:
The Yuma Crossing National Heritage Area grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOI R1264120007) is a National Park Service (NPS) notice describing the agency's intent to provide federal financial assistance to support the management and activities of the Yuma Crossing National Heritage Area. The purpose of the funding is to assist the designated managing entity in carrying out authorized heritage area work in accordance with the federal legislation that established and governs the site, specifically Public Law 106-319 as amended by Public Law 109-318. The funding is tied to the National Heritage Area program (CFDA 15.939) and is categorized under natural resources, reflecting the broader conservation, interpretation, and community-based stewardship goals typical of heritage area authorizations.
This announcement is not an open, competitive grant solicitation. It is a Notice of Intent to Award a single-source cooperative agreement to the Yuma Crossing National Heritage Area Corporation, which is identified as the official managing entity for the heritage area. Because it is single-source, other organizations are not being invited to apply; the "eligible applicants" field notes "Others" only because the recipient is a specific entity defined by the heritage area statute and related designation documents. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates that the NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project beyond simply providing funds, such as participation in planning, coordination, review of deliverables, or alignment with statutory and program requirements.
The opportunity lists an estimated total funding amount of $1,715,000, with an expected number of awards of one. The award floor and ceiling are both listed as zero in the system record, which typically means the specific negotiated amount is handled administratively or does not fit the standard minimum/maximum format used in competitive postings. A cost-sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning the managing entity is expected to contribute a non-federal share consistent with the terms of the cooperative agreement and the underlying legal authority for heritage areas. The posting date is March 27, 2012, with an original and current closing date of April 2, 2012, and an archive date of May 2, 2012; these dates mainly reflect the administrative publication window for the notice rather than a period for submitting applications, since the notice explicitly states it is not requesting applications.
For administrative or access issues related to the full announcement, the point of contact provided is Kristin ONeil, Contract Specialist (also referenced as the contracting officer contact), reachable by phone at 970-586-1236.
