Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service Trail Rehabilitation and Ecological Restoration opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP15AC00707) was issued by the National Park Service as a discretionary funding announcement for work in the natural resources arena. The agency characterized it as a notice of intent for a noncompetitive award, meaning the NPS had already identified the intended recipient or a narrow eligibility pathway and was announcing the planned award consistent with internal Department of the Interior policy (cited as 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C). In practical terms, this type of posting is typically used to document transparency around an award the agency expects to make without open competition, rather than to solicit a broad range of new proposals from the general public.
The funding instrument for the project is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the work during performance, such as coordinating project activities, providing technical direction, or collaborating on implementation details. The program is categorized under natural resources, and the CFDA listing provided is 15.931, Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations, signaling that the project is aligned with conservation-focused activities often carried out with youth or service organization participation, including hands-on field work that supports public land stewardship.
Financially, the opportunity listed an estimated total funding amount of $25,600 and expected to make a single award. No award ceiling or floor was specified (both shown as $0), which commonly occurs in notice-style postings where the key information is the intent to award rather than a competitively structured range. The announcement stated there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient would not be required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.
Eligibility was limited to nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, excluding institutions of higher education. This suggests the intended partner was likely a qualified nonprofit organization capable of carrying out trail rehabilitation and ecological restoration work in coordination with the NPS, potentially involving conservation crews or youth service participants consistent with the CFDA program focus.
The timeline reflects a short public window, consistent with a notice of intent rather than a competitive solicitation. The posting date and creation date were May 15, 2015, with an original and current closing date of May 24, 2015, and an archive date of June 23, 2015. For parties unable to access the full announcement, the NPS provided a point of contact: Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-969-2303.
