Opportunity Summary:
The Notice of Intent to Award titled "2016 Preservation, Restoration, and Rehabilitation of Historic Landscape at Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historic Park" is a National Park Service (NPS) announcement published by the U.S. Department of the Interior to inform the public that the agency plans to fund a specific set of project activities related to work on a historic landscape at Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historic Park. The key point is that this posting is not a request for applications and is not an open call for proposals. Instead, it functions as a transparency notice stating that NPS intends to make an award without full and open competition, meaning the agency already has an intended recipient or a limited selection approach under an allowable exception.
The opportunity is listed as a discretionary funding action and would be issued as a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates that NPS anticipates having substantial involvement in how the project is carried out (for example, coordination on technical decisions, review of deliverables, or collaboration on implementation). The funding activity category is labeled "Other," signaling that it does not fit neatly into standard grant categories and is better explained in the full announcement materials referenced on Grants.gov.
From the source details provided, the funding opportunity number is NPS 16 NERO 0021, and it is associated with CFDA number 15.954, which corresponds to National Park Service related assistance programs. The announcement anticipated a single award with an award ceiling of $44,000. The posting date and creation date were both in early March 2016 (March 2, 2016), with a closing date of March 11, 2016. In notices like this, the closing date is typically administrative and tied to the posting period for public notice rather than an application deadline, since applications are not being solicited.
Eligibility is described broadly as "Others," with the note that further clarification would be found in the full announcement. That phrasing often appears when the intended partner is a specific type of organization (such as a nonprofit partner, educational institution, or other entity) or when eligibility is constrained by the nature of the non-competitive justification. Anyone looking for the detailed rationale for the non-competitive approach, the precise scope of work (what preservation, restoration, or rehabilitation actions are planned), expected deliverables, reporting requirements, period of performance, or the identity/type of intended recipient would need to open the full announcement in the "Related Documents" section referenced in the notice.
Overall, this posting is best understood as a public disclosure that NPS planned to direct up to $44,000 through a cooperative agreement to support preservation-oriented landscape work at Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historic Park, with one award expected and no open application process.
