Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS) funding opportunity titled "Yuma Crossing National Heritage Area" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP13AC00811) is a discretionary federal assistance action that will be issued as a cooperative agreement in the natural resources funding activity area under CFDA 15.939 (National Heritage Area Federal Financial Assistance). The notice was posted and created on July 11, 2013, with a closing date of July 16, 2013, and it was later archived on August 15, 2013. The estimated total federal funding associated with this action is $50,000, and the announcement indicates there is no cost sharing or matching requirement.
What is most important about this notice is that it is not a typical competitive grant solicitation. Instead, it is a formal notice of intent to make a single-source, noncompetitive award. The NPS is using an existing Master Agreement and plans to issue a task agreement under that Master Agreement specifically to the Yuma Crossing National Heritage Area Corporation. The justification for the noncompetitive approach is cited as being in accordance with Department of the Interior policy, specifically DOI 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C, which is commonly referenced when an agency has a valid reason to limit competition (for example, where a particular entity is uniquely positioned to perform the work under an existing agreement structure).
Because the award is intended for a single named recipient, the "Eligible Applicants" field (which lists nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status other than institutions of higher education) should be read in context. While the general eligibility category is described, the announcement explicitly states that this is not a request for applications and is not open for competition. In practical terms, outside organizations should not expect to apply for this funding through this notice; it is primarily a transparency and documentation step indicating the government plans to obligate funds through a task agreement to the identified heritage area organization.
For administrative questions or help accessing the announcement, the listed point of contact is Kelvin Delaney, Contracting Officer, National Park Service Intermountain Region, phone 303-969-2796.
