Opportunity Summary:
This notice describes a National Park Service (NPS) intent to make a single, non-competitive award for work related to management of maintained landscapes on the Appalachian Trail. 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 and there is no open competition for this funding. The purpose of posting the notice is to provide transparency that the agency plans to fund specific project activities through an existing partnership mechanism rather than running a standard competitive grant process.
The award is structured as a cooperative agreement action tied to a specific task agreement: Task Agreement P14AC01439, issued to the Appalachian Trail Conservancy (ATC) under Cooperative Agreement P14AC00659. ATC is identified as the sole recipient and is described as a nonprofit entity. In practical terms, this means the NPS determined that ATC is the appropriate single-source partner for the work and will proceed with funding without "full and open competition," which is language typically used to indicate a justified exception to competitive procurement or grantmaking.
Financially, the opportunity lists an estimated total funding amount of $148,314, with an award ceiling and floor both set at $148,314. That combination signals a single planned award at a fixed amount rather than a range of possible award sizes. The notice also specifies that there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is not expected to provide matching funds as a condition of receiving the federal support.
The program is associated with CFDA number 15.935, National Trails System Projects, and the activity category is labeled as "Other," with the clarification that the posting is a notice of intent to award rather than an application opportunity. Although the title references "Appalachian Trail Maintained Landscapes Management," the detailed scope of work is not included in the text provided here; the notice points readers to an attachment accessible through the full announcement link for complete details on the planned activities.
Key administrative details include the posting date of August 7, 2014, and a short notice window with an original and current closing date of August 12, 2014, followed by an archive date of August 13, 2014. Because this is not an open call, those dates function more like a public notice period rather than an application deadline. The listing also notes that the expected number of awards is one, consistent with the single-source intent.
For access issues or questions about the full announcement, the contact listed is Jennifer Fleming, NPS Northeast Region Agreements Officer, reachable by phone at 215-597-6476. The notice also directs people who need general help using Grants.gov to the site’s general "Contact Us" resources, but again, there is no application process associated with this posting since the award is pre-identified for ATC.
