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 "Assistance with Vegetation Restoration on Park Islands." This notice is informational only and is not a request for applications, meaning the agency is not soliciting proposals or opening a competitive application process. Instead, the purpose of the posting is to give the public formal notice that NPS plans to provide funding for specific restoration activities through a non-competitive award mechanism.
The opportunity is listed on Grants.gov under Funding Opportunity Number P15AS00241 and is categorized as a discretionary award using a Cooperative Agreement, with the activity area identified as Natural Resources (CFDA 15.944, Natural Resource Stewardship). NPS anticipates making a single award under this announcement. The expected total funding amount is $50,000, with an award ceiling of $50,000 and an award floor of $18,656. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement associated with this funding, so the recipient is not expected to provide a non-federal match as a condition of the award.
Rather than being competed openly, the funding is intended to be issued under Task Agreement P15AC01297, which falls under an existing master Cooperative Agreement (H8120100215) with Channel Islands Restoration. The notice indicates that NPS intends to fund the project without full and open competition, which typically means the agency has already identified the organization best positioned to carry out the work based on an existing relationship, specialized expertise, continuity of ongoing restoration efforts, or other justification allowed under federal assistance rules. While the public listing includes a standard eligibility category (nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status, other than institutions of higher education), in practice this specific notice is tied to the named partner and agreement framework rather than an open eligibility pool.
In terms of timing and administrative details, the opportunity was posted and created on July 27, 2015, and archived on August 6, 2015. Both the original and current closing dates state "This is not a request for applications," reinforcing that there is no submission window and no application package to prepare. Anyone seeking more information or experiencing difficulty accessing the full announcement is directed to contact Jason Whitehead at JasonWhitehead@nps.gov. The notice also references an additional information link hosted on Grants.gov for the official posting record.
