Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS), within the U.S. Department of the Interior, issued a Notice of Intent to Award for a project titled "Appalachian Trail Corridor Stewardship." This notice is strictly a public announcement of the agency's plan to make an award and is not a request for applications or proposals. In other words, the opportunity is not open for competition, and organizations should not prepare or submit an application in response to this posting. The purpose of publishing it on Grants.gov is to document the government’s intention to fund specific work without full and open competition.
The planned award will be made as a cooperative agreement, meaning the NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project’s execution rather than simply issuing a grant with minimal federal participation. The activity falls under CFDA number 15.935, National Trails System Projects, and is categorized under "Other" as clarified by the notice itself. The funding is intended to support stewardship-related activities in the Appalachian Trail corridor, and the work will be carried out through a task agreement under an existing cooperative agreement already in place with the Appalachian Trail Conservancy (ATC). The notice references the underlying agreement identifiers H0500000002 and P11AC90861, indicating that this is essentially an additional, defined set of tasks funded under an established partnership framework.
The award is described as a single-source action to a nonprofit entity, specifically the Appalachian Trail Conservancy, with only one expected award. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed, so the federal funds are intended to cover the full project amount as structured in the task agreement. The total estimated funding is $259,773, and both the award ceiling and award floor are also set at $259,773, which signals that the NPS anticipated a fixed award amount rather than a range.
Key administrative dates show the notice was posted on July 17, 2013, with an original and current closing date of July 23, 2013, and an archive date of July 24, 2013. These dates function more as an administrative window for the public notice than as a period during which applications would be accepted. Anyone seeking the full details is directed to the attachment available under the "Full Announcement" link in the original posting, since the notice indicates the complete scope and specifics are contained there rather than in the summary text.
For access issues related to the full announcement materials, the listed point of contact is Jennifer Fleming, Agreements Officer, National Park Service (Northeast Region). The notice provides a phone number (215-597-6476) for assistance. For general Grants.gov navigation or broad guidance on applying for grants, the posting directs users to the Grants.gov "Contact Us" resources, though in this case the notice makes clear that there is no application process because it is not an open solicitation.
