Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS), within the U.S. Department of the Interior, issued a Notice of Intent to Award for a project titled "Restore Coastal Sage Scrub Habitat at Cavern Point, Santa Cruz Island." This notice is strictly a public notification that the NPS plans to make an award; it is not a request for applications and does not open a competitive application process. In other words, the agency is announcing its intention to fund a specific set of restoration activities through an existing partnership structure rather than soliciting new proposals.
The planned funding will be provided through a cooperative agreement, which typically means the NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the work as it is carried out (for example, coordinating objectives, providing technical input, or overseeing implementation consistent with park resource priorities). The opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding and falls under the Natural Resources activity area, reflecting its focus on habitat restoration and stewardship. The associated CFDA number is 15.944, which identifies the federal assistance program under which the support is being provided.
This notice ties the work to an already-established, single-source justified master cooperative agreement. Specifically, the NPS intends to implement the project as Task Agreement P16AC01495 under Cooperative Agreement P15AC00813 with the Mountains Restoration Trust. Because the recipient and agreement vehicle are already identified, the posting functions as transparency for the public record rather than a mechanism to attract applicants or compare competing project proposals.
The maximum funding amount listed for the action is $47,750 (the award ceiling), and the NPS anticipates making one award. The eligible applicant type indicated is nonprofits with IRS 501(c)(3) status other than institutions of higher education, which aligns with the named partner organization for this task agreement. The opportunity record shows a creation date of August 15, 2016, and the closing date is effectively not applicable because no applications are being accepted.
Overall, the opportunity is a formal notice that the NPS plans to fund a single, partner-implemented effort to restore coastal sage scrub habitat at Cavern Point on Santa Cruz Island, using an existing cooperative agreement framework and a defined task agreement, with a total federal funding amount not to exceed $47,750.
