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 called "Expansion of Urban Engagement Efforts in the Seattle Area." This announcement is strictly a public notice that NPS plans to fund a specific set of activities through a cooperative agreement, and it is not a request for applications or proposals. In other words, the agency is not running an open competition for this funding; instead, it is signaling its intent to make an award directly, without full and open competition, for the project described.
The opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number P16AS00509 and is categorized as a discretionary award. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which generally means NPS expects to have substantial involvement in carrying out the project work (as opposed to a more hands-off relationship typical of many grants). The program area is identified under the education activity category, indicating the work is oriented around learning, interpretation, outreach, and related public engagement goals rather than infrastructure or construction. The relevant CFDA number is 15.954, which is the federal assistance listing associated with National Park Service programs.
The intended recipient named in the notice is Discover Your Northwest, through Cooperative Agreement P16AC01269. Although the eligibility field notes that eligible applicants are nonprofits with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), this specific posting is not seeking new applicants because it is announcing NPSs intention to proceed with a predetermined partner. The notice also signals that NPS expects to make a single award, with an anticipated award ceiling of $46,555.
The opportunity was created on August 18, 2016, and it does not have a traditional application closing date because there is no application period. The practical takeaway is that this notice functions as transparency documentation: it informs the public that NPS plans to fund the "Expansion of Urban Engagement Efforts in the Seattle Area" project via a cooperative agreement with Discover Your Northwest, outlines the basic award parameters (agency, instrument type, program area, and anticipated amount), and clarifies that the decision is not being made through an open solicitation process.
