Opportunity Summary:
This notice is a National Park Service (NPS) "Notice of Intent to Award" for a project titled "Appalachian Trail Natural Resource Management." It is not a solicitation and it is not asking the public to apply for funding. Instead, it serves as a formal public announcement that the Department of the Interior, through the NPS, intends to provide funding for specific project activities through a non-competitive, single-source award arrangement.
The NPS plans to fund one award under a cooperative agreement mechanism, meaning the agency anticipates substantial involvement in carrying out or overseeing the work compared with a standard grant. The work will be implemented through Task Agreement P14AC01202, which is issued under an existing Cooperative Agreement (P14AC00659). The intended recipient is the Appalachian Trail Conservancy (ATC), identified as a nonprofit organization and the sole eligible/selected entity for this particular action. The notice makes clear that the award will be made without "full and open competition," which is the key point of publishing this type of announcement: it documents the agency's intent to proceed with a directed award rather than competing it among multiple applicants.
In terms of funding specifics, the opportunity lists a total estimated funding amount of $149,500, with both the award floor and award ceiling set at $149,500, indicating a single fixed expected award amount rather than a range. The notice anticipates one award in total. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is not required to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of receiving the award.
The opportunity is categorized as discretionary and is associated with CFDA number 15.935, "National Trails System Projects," which aligns with activities supporting nationally designated trails such as the Appalachian Trail. While the short public description does not detail the exact tasks, the title indicates the focus is on natural resource management related to the Appalachian Trail, carried out by ATC in coordination with NPS under the cooperative agreement structure.
Key administrative dates show it was posted and created on July 25, 2014, with an original and current closing date of July 30, 2014, and an archive date of July 31, 2014. In the context of a notice of intent rather than a competitive funding opportunity, these dates function more as an administrative posting window on Grants.gov than as an application deadline, since applications are not being accepted.
For those seeking more detail, the notice points readers to an attachment available through the "Full Announcement" link on the Grants.gov listing. It also provides a contact for access issues or questions about the announcement materials: Jennifer Fleming, NPS Northeast Region Agreements Officer, at 215-597-6476.
