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 "Appalachian Trail Facility Management Support" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 12 APPA 0094). This notice is not a request for applications and is not an open competition. Instead, it serves as a public announcement that NPS intends to make a single award under an existing cooperative agreement framework, specifically Task Agreement P12AC10922 under Cooperative Agreement H0500000002, with the Appalachian Trail Conservancy as the identified cooperator.
The opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding and will be issued as a Cooperative Agreement, reflecting a partnership-style arrangement rather than a standard procurement contract. The program aligns with the Environment and Natural Resources activity category and is tied to CFDA 15.935, National Trails System Projects. The posting date was July 18, 2012, with an original and current closing date of July 24, 2012, and an archive date of July 25, 2012, indicating a short public notice window consistent with a non-competitive intent to award.
Funding for the project is fixed at a total of $70,000, with the award floor and award ceiling both set at $70,000, and NPS anticipated making exactly one award. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement listed, meaning the recipient is not expected to contribute a mandatory non-federal match as a condition of receiving the funds.
Eligibility is listed broadly as nonprofits with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), but the notice makes clear that the intended recipient is the Appalachian Trail Conservancy under the referenced cooperative agreement and task agreement. Anyone seeking the detailed scope of work or project activities would need to consult the attachment referenced in the full announcement. For issues accessing the announcement electronically, the listed point of contact is Keith Zotti, Partnership Program Specialist, reachable by phone at 215-597-9153, with the contact reference noted as "APPA Facility Management."
