Mark No. Neck Heritage Trail Bicycling Route as Segment of Potomac Heritage Natl. Scenic Trail | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The grant opportunity titled "Mark No. Neck Heritage Trail Bicycling Route as Segment of Potomac Heritage Natl. Scenic Trail" is a National Park Service (NPS) funding notice describing the agency's intent to make a single, noncompetitive award connected to the National Trails System. Rather than inviting proposals from the public, this posting serves as a formal notice that the NPS plans to issue a task agreement under an existing cooperative agreement (Cooperative Agreement No. H3991100014). In practical terms, it is an administrative announcement used to document and justify why the award will be made to a specific partner without an open competition, consistent with Department of the Interior policy cited as DOI 505 DM 2.12C.

The purpose of the project, as reflected in the title and program area, is to support work related to marking or designating the Northern Neck Heritage Trail bicycling route as a segment of the Potomac Heritage National Scenic Trail. The funding activity category is listed under Natural Resources, and the CFDA program number is 15.935, National Trails System Projects, which generally covers planning, development, interpretation, signage, and related on-the-ground or coordination activities that advance the goals of the National Trails System. Although the notice itself is brief, the project title strongly indicates that the work involves formalizing the relationship between an existing regional bicycling route and the nationally recognized Potomac Heritage National Scenic Trail, likely through documentation, coordination, and physical or informational trail marking so the route is clearly identified as part of the larger national trail network.

Key administrative details show this is a discretionary opportunity using a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument type, with an expected number of awards of one. The estimated total funding is $28,270. The announcement lists no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is not expected to provide a required non-federal match as a condition of the award (though voluntary contributions are sometimes possible under cooperative agreements depending on the final task agreement terms). The award ceiling and floor are both listed as zero in the database fields, which commonly happens in notices of intent or noncompetitive postings where the standard competitive funding range fields are not used in the usual way; the meaningful funding figure here is the estimated total of $28,270.

Eligibility is intentionally limited. The notice states clearly that it is not a request for applications and that it is a single-source award to the Northern Neck Planning District Commission. The listing of "Eligible Applicants: Others" is a placeholder category in the system, but the narrative eligibility statement controls and makes it clear there is no open competition. The reason for posting, therefore, is transparency and compliance: the agency is documenting that it intends to proceed with a noncompetitive task agreement under an existing cooperative framework.

Timing information reflects how narrow and administrative this posting is. The opportunity was posted and created on Aug 3, 2011, with an original and current closing date of Aug 5, 2011, and an archive date of Sep 4, 2011. A two-day window is typical for notices of intent that are not seeking applications, because the "closing date" functions more like the end of a public notice period rather than a deadline for applicants to submit proposals.

For anyone needing the official attachment or having trouble accessing the full announcement, the contact listed is Rita Mihalik, Contract Specialist at the National Park Service, reachable by phone at 301-432-7890 or by email at ritamihalik@nps.gov. The funding opportunity number associated with this notice is "NPS NOI POHE R3991110013," and the opportunity category is discretionary, even though it is being implemented as a noncompetitive action tied to an existing cooperative agreement rather than a competitive grant cycle.
