Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service funding opportunity titled "Cyclic Maintenance of North Properties Boundary Fence and Trails Construction/Rehab" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP15AC01142) is a discretionary cooperative agreement action connected to CFDA 15.931, "Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations." The purpose is to support hands-on conservation work that focuses on cyclical maintenance of a boundary fence and construction and/or rehabilitation of trails at NPS North Properties. The activity is framed within an education-related funding category, which fits the broader intent of engaging youth participants in conservation skills development, service learning, and stewardship work on public lands.
This notice is not a typical competitive grant solicitation. Instead, it is a public notice of intent that the National Park Service plans to issue a task agreement under an already existing Master Agreement through the 21st Century Conservation Service Corps (21CSC) Program, specifically under the Youth Engagement and Development component. In practical terms, that means the NPS is signaling that it expects to fund a specific partner organization through a noncompetitive process, rather than inviting new applications from the general public. The announcement explicitly states that it is being issued in accordance with Department of the Interior policy (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C), which is the internal authority cited for using a noncompetitive approach in this circumstance.
The opportunity anticipated a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an estimated total funding amount of about $88,200. The listing shows an award floor of $88,220 and an award ceiling of $88,220, indicating the intended agreement amount was essentially fixed rather than a broad range. Cost sharing or matching is required, meaning the recipient was expected to contribute non-federal resources (cash or allowable in-kind contributions such as labor, equipment, or other approved support) consistent with the terms of the underlying agreement and federal assistance rules.
Key dates in the notice show it was posted and created on July 1, 2015, with an original and current closing date of July 11, 2015, and an archive date of August 10, 2015. Because this was not a request for applications, the "closing date" functions more as a public notice window rather than an application deadline in the usual sense. Eligibility is therefore not framed around open competition. The eligible applicants field points to "Others (see text field...)," and the eligibility explanation clarifies that the announcement is to provide notice that NPS intends to fund a task agreement against an existing Master Agreement. That wording strongly implies that only entities already positioned under that Master Agreement framework, or otherwise designated within the 21CSC partnership structure, would be relevant to the award.
The instrument type is a cooperative agreement, which typically means the federal agency anticipates having substantial involvement in the project beyond simply providing funds. For a project like fence maintenance and trail construction/rehabilitation, substantial involvement can include collaboration on work planning, technical specifications, safety and resource protection requirements, monitoring, coordination with park operations, and ensuring compliance with applicable NPS standards and environmental or cultural resource protections.
