Opportunity Summary:
This notice describes a National Park Service (NPS), U.S. Department of the Interior intent to make a single, non-competitive award for work tied to Appalachian Trail facility maintenance planning and inventory. It is explicitly labeled a "Notice of Intent to Award" and not a request for applications, meaning the agency is not seeking proposals from the public and is using the announcement mainly to meet public-notice requirements for a planned award that will be issued without full and open competition.
The planned funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates an arrangement where the NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project as it is carried out (as opposed to a standard grant where the recipient operates more independently). The opportunity is categorized under discretionary funding and linked to CFDA number 15.935, National Trails System Projects, tying it to federal support for work associated with the National Trails System and related stewardship activities.
The intended recipient is identified as the Appalachian Trail Conservancy (ATC), described in the listing as a nonprofit organization. The announcement states it is a single-source award to ATC, meaning eligibility is effectively limited to that organization for this action and no competition is planned.
The total anticipated award amount is $709,320, with both the award floor and award ceiling listed as $709,320, which signals the NPS has a specific, fixed funding level in mind rather than a range. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed, so the recipient would not be required (under the terms summarized here) to provide a non-federal match as a condition of receiving the funds.
Key posting and administrative dates included in the listing show the opportunity posted July 11, 2015, with an original closing date of July 20, 2015, and a later current closing date of August 30, 2015, followed by an archive date of August 31, 2015. For notices like this, those dates function more as public-notice and recordkeeping milestones than a deadline for submitting applications, since applications are not being solicited.
For anyone trying to obtain the full details, the notice directs readers to Grants.gov to open the "Related Documents" section and select the full announcement. The contact listed for access issues is Jennifer Fleming, NPS NER Agreements Officer, at 215-597-6476, indicating the responsible office is within the National Park Service (Northeast Region).
