Opportunity Summary:
The "Fence maintenance and brush clearing project" (Funding Opportunity Number NPSNOIPETR1600549) is a discretionary funding action from the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service (DOI-NPS), categorized under Natural Resources and structured as a Cooperative Agreement. The posting is explicitly labeled as a Notice of Intent to Award, meaning it is not an open solicitation and is not requesting applications from the public. Instead, it serves as a formal public notice that the National Park Service intends to issue a single, non-competitive task agreement for the work described.
Based on the title, the project scope centers on routine grounds and infrastructure stewardship activities, specifically maintaining fences and clearing brush. These types of tasks typically support protection of park resources, boundary or livestock/wildlife management, visitor safety, and access control, while reducing vegetation-related hazards and improving operational conditions in managed natural areas. However, the announcement itself does not provide technical details such as location, acreage, methods, timelines, or performance standards, only that the agency plans to proceed with a directed award.
Eligibility information indicates the intended recipient category is nonprofits with IRS-recognized 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. Even though that eligibility is listed, the non-competitive nature of the notice means the agency is not inviting multiple eligible organizations to compete; it is signaling that it has already identified a partner for the cooperative agreement task arrangement.
Key administrative details include an expected number of awards of one, with both the original and current closing date listed as May 5, 2016. The notice was created and posted on April 21, 2016. The award ceiling is shown as 0, which generally indicates that a maximum funding amount was not specified in the public notice or is not being disclosed in the listing, rather than confirming that the award has no funding. The CFDA (Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance) number associated with the opportunity is 15.931, which corresponds to National Park Service assistance listings. Overall, the announcement functions as a transparency notice about a planned directed award rather than an opportunity for prospective applicants to submit proposals.
