Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS), part of the U.S. Department of the Interior, issued a Notice of Intent to Award (NOI) for a project titled "NOI TA: PLC Install Vault Toilet at Richmond-Hamilton." This notice is not a request for applications and is not a competitive funding opportunity. Instead, it serves as a public announcement that NPS plans to fund specific project work through a cooperative agreement without full and open competition. In practical terms, the agency is signaling that it has already identified an intended recipient or partner for this work and is publishing the notice to satisfy transparency and administrative requirements.
The opportunity is listed in Grants.gov under Funding Opportunity Number NPS 16 NERO 0070 and is categorized as a discretionary award using the Cooperative Agreement funding instrument. The activity category is labeled "Other," with further clarification presumably contained in the formal notice and any attached documentation in the Related Documents section of the posting. The project title indicates the core scope of work: installing a vault toilet at the Richmond-Hamilton location. Vault toilets are typically used in park and recreation settings where conventional plumbing is impractical; they are designed to improve visitor services and sanitation while limiting environmental impacts when appropriately sited, installed, and maintained.
Funding for the project has an award ceiling of $31,000, and NPS expects to make one award. The posting was created and published on June 7, 2016, with a closing date of June 17, 2016. Even though it lists a closing date, this date generally functions as an administrative endpoint for the notice rather than an application deadline in the usual sense, because the notice explicitly states it is not soliciting proposals. The program is associated with CFDA number 15.931, and eligibility is broadly labeled as "Others," with additional eligibility details referenced in an eligibility clarification field (which would typically be elaborated in the full announcement text or related attachments).
Anyone seeking more detail is directed to the Related Documents link in the Grants.gov posting, which would contain the complete Notice of Intent to Award and any supporting justification for limiting competition, a description of the partner, and a more precise statement of work. The posting also notes that Grants.gov support links should be used for help navigating the site or for general grants guidance, but because this is an NOI rather than an open solicitation, the main takeaway is that the NPS is providing notice of its intent to fund a specific vault-toilet installation project at Richmond-Hamilton via a single cooperative agreement, rather than inviting new applicants to compete for the funds.
