Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS), within the U.S. Department of the Interior, issued a public "Notice of Intent to Award" for a project titled "Appalachian Trail Community Summit" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 15 NERO 0084). This notice is informational only and is not a request for applications, meaning the agency is not seeking proposals from the public or opening the award to competitive bidding. Instead, NPS is announcing its plan to fund specific project activities through a cooperative agreement without full and open competition.
The opportunity is structured as a single-source award to the Appalachian Trail Conservancy (ATC), identified as a nonprofit entity. Because it is single-source, eligibility is effectively limited to ATC for this particular award, and other organizations are not being invited to apply. The funding falls under CFDA 15.935, National Trails System Projects, and is categorized under "Other" for the funding activity classification, with the accompanying explanation clarifying that this is a non-competitive notice of intent to award.
NPS anticipated making one award with a total estimated funding amount of $99,000. The award amount is fixed in the listing, with the floor and ceiling both set at $99,000, indicating NPS intended a specific, set funding level rather than a range. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement stated for the recipient, so the award does not require ATC to provide additional non-federal matching funds as a condition of receiving the federal funding.
In terms of timing, the notice was posted and created on July 4, 2015, with an original and current closing date of July 13, 2015, and an archive date of July 14, 2015. These dates function more as the public notice period within the Grants.gov listing rather than an application window, since the announcement explicitly states it is not soliciting applications. Anyone seeking the full details of the intended award would have been directed to the "Related Documents" section on Grants.gov to access the full announcement text.
For assistance or questions related to accessing the announcement, the listed point of contact is Jennifer Fleming, NPS NER Agreements Officer, reachable by phone at 215-597-6476.
