Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service- PLC FY16-19 - Invasive Species Removal, Road Corridor Maintenance, and Trail Maintenance opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP16AC00406) is a Department of the Interior, National Park Service (DOI-NPS) discretionary funding announcement focused on hands-on natural resource and maintenance work in support of national park operations. The project scope centers on three practical, field-based activities: removing invasive species, maintaining road corridors, and performing trail maintenance. While the announcement title references FY16-19, the posting itself functions as a specific planned action that will be implemented through a task agreement rather than a wide-open competition.
This opportunity is structured as a cooperative agreement, indicating that the project would typically involve substantial involvement by the National Park Service in coordinating, guiding, or participating in the work as it is carried out. The funding activity category is Natural Resources, and the listing is associated with CFDA number 15.931, which generally aligns with NPS resource stewardship and related assistance activities. The award information provided indicates an expected single award with an anticipated maximum (award ceiling) of $63,000.
A key feature of this notice is that it is explicitly described as a notice of intent for a noncompetitive award. Instead of soliciting proposals from a broad pool of applicants, the NPS states that the award will be made as a task agreement under an existing National Park Service Master Agreement (H1274120001). The notice cites Department of the Interior policy (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C) as the basis for using a noncompetitive process. In practical terms, that means the agency is signaling its intention to fund a specific partner or a pre-identified eligible entity under the terms of the master agreement framework, rather than running a standard competitive grant process.
The opportunity was created and posted on April 5, 2016, with an application closing date of April 15, 2016 (original and current closing dates are the same). Eligibility is summarized as "Others," with a note indicating that additional clarification would be provided in an attached announcement. Overall, the posting reads less like a typical open call for new applicants and more like a formal public notice documenting that the NPS plans to issue a single, specific cooperative agreement task action under an established agreement vehicle for work related to invasive plant removal and routine infrastructure upkeep along roads and trails.
