Opportunity Summary:
The Notice of Intent to Award titled "Appalachian Trail Maintain Landscapes and SUP Programs" is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding announcement issued by the United States Department of the Interior. It is not an open grant competition and it is not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as a formal public notice that the NPS intends to make a cooperative agreement award for specific project activities without full and open competition, meaning the agency is proceeding with a single-source selection rather than inviting proposals from multiple applicants.
The opportunity is identified under Funding Opportunity Number NPS 15 NERO 0101 and is associated with CFDA 15.935, National Trails System Projects. The award mechanism is a Cooperative Agreement, which typically indicates that NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the work alongside the recipient, such as coordinating tasks, providing technical direction, or collaborating on program delivery, rather than simply issuing a hands-off grant. The funding activity category is listed as "Other," with the explanation emphasizing that this posting exists solely to announce the intent to award.
Funding is set at a fixed amount, with an estimated total funding of $169,797. The posted award ceiling and award floor are both $169,797, which signals that the NPS anticipated one award at one specific dollar value rather than a range of possible award sizes. The announcement states there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is not expected to provide non-federal funds as a condition of the award.
Eligibility is effectively limited because the notice specifies that this is a single-source award to the Appalachian Trail Conservancy (ATC), described as a nonprofit agency. While the listing may show "Eligible Applicants: Others," the detailed eligibility language clarifies that the NPS has already selected ATC as the intended recipient and is publishing the notice to document that decision publicly.
In terms of timing, the opportunity was posted on July 11, 2015, with key dates including an original closing date of July 20, 2015 and a current closing date of August 13, 2015, followed by an archive date of August 14, 2015. These dates should be read as administrative deadlines for the public notice record on Grants.gov rather than deadlines for prospective applicants, since applications were not being solicited.
Anyone seeking the complete details would be directed to use the "Related Documents" link in the Grants.gov posting to access the full announcement text. For help obtaining the full announcement electronically, the contact listed is Jennifer Fleming, NPS NER Agreements Officer, at 215-597-6476.
