Opportunity Summary:
The "Appalachian Trail Facility Management Support" opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 11 NERO 0049) is a National Park Service notice that the agency intends to make a single, specific award rather than run an open competition. It is explicitly labeled as a NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD and states in plain terms that it is not a request for applications. In other words, this posting functions mainly as public transparency: it tells the public that NPS plans to fund certain Appalachian Trail-related work through an existing partnership, instead of soliciting proposals from multiple organizations.
The award is structured as a cooperative agreement under the National Trails System Projects program (CFDA 15.935). The listed funding purpose falls under a broad "Other" activity category, clarified as conservation work to develop, promote, and protect the Appalachian Trail. The NPS plans to support the project through Task Agreement P11AT40545, which will be issued under an already-established Cooperative Agreement (H0500000002) with the Appalachian Trail Conservancy. Because it is tied to that existing agreement, the practical eligible applicant is the Appalachian Trail Conservancy, even though the general eligibility field references 501(c)(3) nonprofits (other than institutions of higher education).
Financially, the notice indicates a total estimated funding amount of $100,000, and it is presented as a fixed single-award figure: the award ceiling is $100,000 and the award floor is also $100,000. The opportunity anticipates one award in total. No cost sharing or matching contribution is required, meaning the recipient is not expected to provide a specified non-federal match as a condition of the award.
Timing details reflect how short and administrative these notices can be. The posting date and creation date are both June 27, 2011, with an original and current closing date of July 1, 2011, and the archive date of July 2, 2011. Since it is not competitive and not requesting applications, the "closing date" is best understood as the end of the public notice period rather than an application deadline for outside organizations.
For anyone seeking the precise scope of work or the formal justification for using other-than-full-and-open competition, the announcement directs readers to the attachment available through the "Full Announcement" link on Grants.gov. The listed contact for issues accessing the full notice is Jennifer Fleming, Contract/Agreements Specialist, National Park Service, reachable by phone at 215-597-6476.
