Opportunity Summary:
The BIHO Visitor Services Interns opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP16AC00615) is a National Park Service notice related to staffing support rather than an open, competitive grant solicitation. It is explicitly labeled as not being a Funding Opportunity Announcement. Instead, it is a Notice of Intent to make an award to a single, specific youth organization under the Department of the Interior authority referenced as DOI 505 DM 2. In practice, that means the agency is signaling its intent to proceed with a directed, single-source cooperative agreement rather than inviting applications from the general public through a standard competitive process. The notice also indicates that additional details and justification are contained in an attached Notice of Intent document.
Administratively, the opportunity is categorized as discretionary and the planned award instrument is a Cooperative Agreement, which typically implies substantial involvement by the federal agency in carrying out the project (for example, coordination on intern placement, training expectations, work plans, or reporting). The activity category is Employment, Labor and Training, which aligns with the title and suggests the project centers on placing or supporting interns who perform visitor services functions, likely at a National Park Service site associated with the BIHO acronym. Only one award is expected, and the listed award ceiling is $40,256, meaning the maximum anticipated federal amount for this agreement is up to that figure.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofit organizations with verified 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, excluding institutions of higher education. Because it is a single-source Notice of Intent, however, eligibility in the typical competitive sense is largely secondary to the agency's identified partner; it primarily clarifies the type of organization the NPS intends to fund. The sponsoring agency is the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service (DOI-NPS). The notice was created and posted on April 29, 2016, with an original and current closing date of May 9, 2016, reflecting a short public posting window that is common for single-source intent notices.
