Opportunity Summary:
The Natural Resources Environmental Stewardship Crew opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number: NPS NOIPRWI1600687) is a discretionary funding action from the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service (DOI-NPS). It is structured as a cooperative agreement under the Natural Resources activity category and is associated with CFDA number 15.931. The opportunity was created and posted on May 11, 2016, with a listed closing date of May 25, 2016.
This notice is explicitly labeled as a "Notice of Intent to Award," meaning it is not an open call for proposals and is not requesting applications from the public. Instead, it serves as a formal public notification that the National Park Service intends to make a non-competitive task agreement award. In practice, that means the recipient is being selected without a competitive application process, typically because the agency has determined a specific organization is uniquely qualified, already designated, or otherwise appropriate for the work under applicable federal assistance rules.
The listed eligible applicant type is limited to nonprofit organizations that have IRS 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. While the opportunity title suggests the work involves an environmental stewardship crew supporting natural resource efforts, the notice itself does not provide project-specific details such as the scope of work, performance period, deliverables, or locations. It does indicate the agency expects to make one award (Expected Awards: 1). The award ceiling is shown as 0, which generally signals that the funding amount is either determined elsewhere (for example, in the task agreement or an internal funding document) or not being publicly specified in this notice.
Overall, the key takeaway is that this posting is informational rather than solicitational: it documents DOI-NPS intent to issue a single, non-competitive cooperative agreement task arrangement related to natural resources and environmental stewardship crew activities, with eligibility framed around qualified 501(c)(3) nonprofits, but without an opportunity for new applicants to compete for the award through this announcement.
