Opportunity Summary:

The "New England National Scenic Trail Implementation" opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 12 NERO 0023) is a National Park Service notice stating the agencys intent to make an award without open competition. It is explicitly labeled as a NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD and not a request for applications, meaning there is no competitive application process for outside parties to submit proposals under this posting. Instead, it serves as public documentation that the NPS plans to add funding through a modification to an existing cooperative agreement.

The funding instrument is a Cooperative Agreement, and the action described is a modification to add funds to Cooperative Agreement H4506100508 with the Connecticut Forest and Park Association. The activity category is listed as "Other," clarified as New England Scenic Trail management, and it is associated with CFDA number 15.921 (Rivers, Trails and Conservation Assistance). The announcement indicates the NPS intends to proceed as a single-source action, which is why it notes the work will be funded "without full and open competition."

Financially, the posting shows an estimated total funding amount of $126,868, with the award ceiling and floor both set at $126,868, indicating a single, fixed expected award amount rather than a range. The expected number of awards is one. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement associated with this action. While the eligibility section lists "for profit organizations other than small businesses," the narrative makes clear this specific notice is tied to a single-source modification of an existing agreement with a named partner, so the eligibility listing does not function as an invitation for new applicants in this case.

In terms of timing, the opportunity was posted on April 18, 2012, with an original and current closing date of April 23, 2012, and an archive date of April 24, 2012. Those dates reflect the brief public notice window typical for intent-to-award postings rather than a standard application period. For details beyond the summary text, the notice directs readers to an attachment available through the full announcement link. The contact listed for access issues is Jennifer Fleming, Contract/Agreements Specialist at the National Park Service, reachable by phone at 215-597-6476.
