Opportunity Summary:
The Notice of Intent to Award titled "Appalachian Trail Facility Management Support" is a National Park Service (NPS) announcement issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior to publicly document the agency's plan to fund a specific set of project activities. This notice is explicitly not a request for applications and is not an open competition. Instead, it serves as formal transparency that NPS intends to make a single-source award without full and open competition.
The funding will be provided through a cooperative agreement mechanism, under a task agreement identified as P14AC01426, which is issued to the Appalachian Trail Conservancy (ATC) under an existing cooperative agreement (P14AC00659). In practical terms, this means NPS already has an established partnership framework with ATC and is using that relationship to support facility management-related work connected to the Appalachian Trail. The opportunity is categorized under CFDA 15.935, National Trails System Projects, which generally covers projects that support nationally significant trails and related stewardship activities.
Financially, the notice indicates a total estimated funding amount of $90,000, with the award floor and ceiling both set at $90,000, signaling that the planned award amount is fixed rather than a range. Only one award is expected. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed, so the recipient is not required to provide a matching contribution as a condition of the award.
Eligibility is essentially closed because the award is intended for a single named entity: the Appalachian Trail Conservancy, a nonprofit organization. While the Grants.gov listing includes standard fields like eligible applicants, the eligibility narrative clarifies that this is a single-source action and not open to other organizations. The notice was posted on August 6, 2014, with an original and current closing date of August 11, 2014, and it was archived on August 12, 2014. Those dates function more as administrative milestones for the public notice rather than an application window, since no applications were being solicited.
For anyone trying to understand the detailed scope of the supported activities, the announcement directs readers to the attachment available via the "Full Announcement" link on Grants.gov. For access issues, the listed point of contact is Jennifer Fleming, an NPS Northeast Region Agreements Officer, with a provided phone number (215-597-6476).
