Opportunity Information: Apply for NPS 17 NERO 0041
The Crossroads of the American Revolution National Heritage Area opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 17 NERO 0041) is a discretionary National Park Service funding notice issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior. It is structured as a cooperative agreement, and the program activity category is listed as regional development under CFDA 15.939. The announcement was created on June 26, 2017, with an original closing date of July 7, 2017.
This notice is specifically not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as a public notice that the National Park Service intends to make an award through a task agreement issued under an existing master cooperative agreement. In plain terms, the agency is signaling that it plans to fund work related to the Crossroads of the American Revolution National Heritage Area through a single-source, justified arrangement, rather than running an open competition where multiple applicants submit proposals.
The funding details indicate a single expected award, with an award ceiling of $135,000. Because the award is described as a task agreement under a master cooperative agreement, the planned funding likely supports a defined scope of work that fits within an established partnership framework rather than a newly competed grant program. This kind of structure is commonly used when the agency has determined that a particular partner is uniquely positioned to carry out the work efficiently or consistently with an ongoing program relationship.
Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with the note that additional clarification would normally be found in an accompanying eligibility text field. However, given that this is not an open solicitation, eligibility in the practical sense is not the main focus of the notice. The key takeaway is that the National Park Service is announcing its intent to issue one cooperative-agreement-based task award, up to $135,000, connected to the Crossroads of the American Revolution National Heritage Area, using a single-source justification rather than accepting applications from the general public.Apply for NPS 17 NERO 0041
