Opportunity Summary:
The Corridor/Greenway Trail Maintenance Support opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPSNOIGRCA1600028) is a discretionary National Park Service funding action under the U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI-NPS). It is listed as a cooperative agreement tied to the Natural Resources activity category and associated with CFDA number 15.931. The posting date and creation date are both November 13, 2015, and the listed closing date is November 30, 2015. Only one award is expected.
The key point of this notice is that it is not an open solicitation and not a request for applications. Instead, it is a formal public notice stating the National Park Service's intent to make a non-competitive award through a task agreement. In practical terms, that means the agency is announcing that it plans to fund a specific project or partner without running a competitive application process for this particular action.
The eligibility field identifies nonprofits with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education) as the eligible applicant type. However, because the notice explicitly says it is not seeking applications and is announcing a non-competitive task agreement, this eligibility information should be read as describing the type of organization the agency is planning to work with, rather than inviting similarly situated organizations to apply.
The opportunity title indicates the work focus: maintenance support for a corridor and/or greenway trail. While the notice does not provide additional scope, deliverables, or a work plan, the framing suggests on-the-ground trail upkeep and related maintenance activities that support public access and resource stewardship within a trail corridor or greenway context.
Finally, the award ceiling is listed as 0, which typically signals that a specific maximum amount is not being provided in the public notice or that the amount is handled within the intended agreement details rather than posted as a competitive funding cap. Overall, this announcement functions primarily as a transparency step: it informs the public that the National Park Service intends to proceed with a single, non-competitive cooperative agreement/task agreement for trail maintenance support rather than opening a competitive grant round.
