Opportunity Summary:
The Civil War Defenses of Washington Trail Planning and Compliance opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOI ROCR R3450110058) is a National Park Service notice of intent to make a single, noncompetitive cooperative agreement award tied to an existing cooperative framework. It falls under the discretionary funding category, uses a Cooperative Agreement as the funding instrument, and is listed in the Natural Resources activity area. The funding is associated with CFDA 15.935, National Trails System Projects, which generally supports work connected to planning, development, stewardship, and related implementation needs for trail systems and trail-connected resources.
This announcement is not a typical open grant competition and is explicitly not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as a formal public notice that the National Park Service intends to proceed with a single-source award to the American Hiking Society. The basis for doing so is described as consistent with DOI policy (cited as DOI 505 DM 2.12C), and the work will be issued as a task agreement under Cooperative Agreement No. H2230060162. In practical terms, that means the recipient has already been identified, and the funding action is structured as an add-on or task-specific project under an established agreement rather than a new competitive selection process.
The government’s intent is to support planning and compliance work connected to the Civil War Defenses of Washington trail effort. While the summary text does not spell out the exact scope tasks line-by-line, the title and program context indicate activities typically needed to plan trail alignments or improvements and to complete required compliance steps (for example, environmental and cultural resource compliance processes that federal land and resource projects often must satisfy before implementation). Because this is a cooperative agreement, the National Park Service would generally anticipate substantial federal involvement during the project, such as coordination, technical input, review, and joint planning.
The posting dates show this was a time-limited notice published on August 2, 2011, with an original and current closing date of August 4, 2011, and an archive date of September 3, 2011. The estimated total funding amount listed is $37,000. The announcement lists no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is not required by the notice to provide matching funds as a condition of the award. The Award Ceiling and Award Floor are both shown as $0, which is often how systems display amounts when the agency does not use those particular fields for a single-source notice, even though an estimated total funding amount is provided elsewhere.
Eligibility is labeled broadly as "Others," but the eligibility narrative clarifies the real point: the action is intended as a single-source award to the American Hiking Society, and it is not open to other applicants. Anyone looking for an opportunity to apply would not be able to compete for this specific funding action because the agency has already determined the recipient and is using this notice primarily to document and publicize that intent.
