Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service - Tanner Trail Rehabilitation opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP16AC00780) is a public notice stating the National Park Service's intent to make a single, non-competitive award for work at Grand Canyon National Park. It is categorized as a discretionary opportunity and will be issued as a cooperative agreement under the natural resources activity area (CFDA 15.931). The purpose of the work is to rehabilitate the Tanner Trail, a backcountry trail within the park, through a task agreement issued under an already-existing cooperative agreement framework.
This announcement is explicitly a Notice of Intent to Award, meaning it is not a solicitation and it is not requesting applications from the public. Instead, it serves as a transparency and compliance step under Department of the Interior policy (referenced as 505 DM 2.12), which requires public notice when an agency plans to proceed with a non-competitive agreement. In practical terms, the agency has already selected the intended partner and is informing the public of that decision rather than opening a competition.
The intended recipient is the American Conservation Experience, identified as the organization that will carry out the trail rehabilitation work through the non-competitive task agreement. The listing notes that there is one expected award. While the opportunity record shows an award ceiling of $0, that field should be read as an administrative or listing artifact rather than a statement that the work has no cost; the core message of the notice is the planned, non-competitive issuance of a task agreement for the Tanner Trail rehabilitation project.
Key timing details in the notice include a creation and posting date of May 24, 2016, with a closing date of June 4, 2016. Because this is not an application-based opportunity, the closing date functions more as the end of the public notice window than as a deadline for proposal submissions. Eligible applicants are broadly labeled as "Others," but the text makes clear that the action is tied to an existing cooperative agreement and is intended for a specific partner, so it is not meaningfully open for new applicants to pursue.
