Opportunity Summary:

The opportunity titled "NOI TA: PRORANGER PHILADELPHIA PROGRAM" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 16 NERO 0083) is a National Park Service (NPS) Notice of Intent to Award, issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior. The key point is that it is not a request for applications. Instead of inviting proposals from the public, the NPS is using this notice to publicly announce its intent to fund a specific set of project activities through a non-competitive process, meaning the work will be supported without full and open competition.

The award is structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates that the NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project during the period of performance (for example, collaborating on planning, oversight, or implementation rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back). The funding is categorized under "Other" in the activity category, with the implication that further clarification would be found in the full notice materials referenced under the related documents. The CFDA program number associated with the opportunity is 15.931, which identifies the federal assistance listing tied to the NPS program area supporting this work.

Financially, the notice lists an award ceiling of $116,000 and anticipates making one award. The announcement was created on June 22, 2016, with an original closing date of July 2, 2016, which in the context of a notice of intent generally functions more as a posting window and public notice period than a true application deadline. Eligibility is described broadly as "Others," with additional eligibility specifics intended to be provided in the detailed notice documentation. Overall, this posting functions primarily as a transparency and compliance step to notify the public that NPS plans to fund the ProRanger Philadelphia Program activity through a designated recipient and a cooperative agreement rather than through an open grant competition.
