Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS), within the U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI), posted a discretionary funding notice titled "Boundary Fence Cyclic maintenance" (Funding Opportunity Number NPSNOIPEFO1600318). The activity is categorized under Natural Resources and is associated with CFDA number 15.931. The funding instrument listed is a Cooperative Agreement, and the notice indicates the agency expects to make one award.
This posting is explicitly labeled as a "Notice of Intent to Award," meaning it is not a solicitation and not an open call for proposals. In practical terms, the NPS is using the announcement to meet public notice requirements while indicating it plans to issue a non-competitive task agreement to a predetermined partner rather than run a competitive application process. Because of that, organizations should not interpret the eligibility language as an invitation to apply; even though the eligible applicant type is stated as nonprofits with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), the notice makes clear that applications are not being requested or accepted.
The timeline information reinforces that point. The opportunity was created and posted on March 10, 2016, with both the original and current closing date shown as March 20, 2016. The award ceiling is listed as 0, which typically signals that a specific federal funding cap was not provided in the public-facing entry (often because the amount is handled within the internal agreement or is otherwise not being advertised due to the non-competitive nature of the action).
In short, this is a transparency notice stating the NPS intends to proceed with a single, non-competitive cooperative agreement task focused on routine, cyclical maintenance of boundary fencing, rather than a grant competition where outside applicants can submit proposals for consideration.
