Opportunity Summary:
This notice is a National Park Service (NPS), U.S. Department of the Interior announcement stating the agency's intent to make a single, specific award for Appalachian Trail rehabilitation work in the Great Smoky Mountains area. It is explicitly labeled a "Notice of Intent to Award" and is not a request for applications, meaning the NPS is not soliciting proposals from the public through a competitive process. Instead, the purpose is to give public transparency that the NPS plans to fund identified project activities through an existing partnership arrangement.
The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, and the work is planned to be carried out via a task agreement with the Appalachian Trail Conservancy under an already-established cooperative agreement (Cooperative Agreement Number H0500000002/P11AC90861). Because the recipient organization and the mechanism are predetermined, the notice explains that the NPS intends to proceed "without full and open competition." In practical terms, this is an informational posting rather than an opportunity for new applicants to seek funding under this specific announcement.
Financially, the notice indicates one expected award with a total estimated funding amount of $94,489. The award floor and ceiling are both listed as $94,489, which signals a fixed, defined funding amount rather than a range. The notice also states there is no cost sharing or matching requirement associated with this award.
From a classification standpoint, the opportunity is listed as discretionary and tied to CFDA number 15.935, National Trails System Projects, indicating the funding aligns with federal support activities related to national trails. While the eligible applicant category is described as nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), the text of the announcement makes clear that the intended awardee is the Appalachian Trail Conservancy under the existing cooperative agreement, so the eligibility listing does not function as an open invitation for other organizations in this instance.
The timeline reflects that 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 posting window for the public notice rather than a traditional application deadline, since applications were not being accepted.
For anyone who cannot access the full announcement attachment electronically, the notice provides a contact point: Jennifer Fleming, NPS NER Agreements Officer, at 215-597-6476. The announcement also points users to Grants.gov help resources for general navigation or grants-related questions, though again, this particular posting is not meant for applicant submission.
