Opportunity Summary:
The Healthy Parks Healthy People - NCR Track Trails grant notice (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOI CHOH R3100120041) is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding action in the Natural Resources activity area. Rather than being a typical competitive grant solicitation, it is a notice of intent describing a planned, noncompetitive award that will be issued through a cooperative agreement mechanism. The announcement makes clear that it is not asking the public to submit applications and should not be read as an open funding opportunity.
The funding will be implemented as a task agreement issued under an existing Cooperative Agreement (No. P12AC30676) between the National Park Service and the Blue Ridge Parkway Foundation. In other words, the NPS is using an already-established partnership agreement and adding a specific project task to it, instead of creating a brand-new, competed award. The notice cites the Department of the Interior policy authority for making a single-source, noncompetitive award (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C), which is the internal justification framework used when an agency intends to fund a specific partner without competition.
Financially, the notice lists an estimated total funding amount of $65,000 and anticipates one award. It also indicates there is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The award ceiling and floor are both shown as zero, which commonly appears in older postings when the system does not capture a formal ceiling/floor structure even though an estimated total is provided in the narrative fields. The associated CFDA listing is 15.944, Natural Resource Stewardship, reflecting the stewardship and resource-related focus of the work.
Eligibility is functionally restricted: although the listing’s general eligibility field references “Others,†the eligibility statement clarifies that the action is a single-source award specifically to the Blue Ridge Parkway Foundation. As a result, other organizations are not eligible to apply because the announcement is not a request for proposals and no competitive selection is being conducted.
Key dates show how short and administrative this posting was. It was posted on June 22, 2012, with an original and current closing date of June 25, 2012, and an archive date of July 25, 2012. Those dates align with a notice-of-intent style posting, where the goal is public transparency about an intended award rather than running a multi-week application period.
For anyone needing the full announcement materials but unable to access them electronically, the NPS listed a point of contact: Rita Mihalik, Contract Specialist, at 301-432-7890 or ritamihalik@nps.gov.
