Opportunity Summary:
This government grant posting is a Notice of Intent to Award from the United States Department of the Interior, National Park Service (NPS), for a project titled "Appalachian Trail Natural Resources Management." The key point is that it is not a competitive funding opportunity and not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as a public notice that the NPS plans to make a single award without full and open competition, using a task agreement issued under an existing cooperative agreement with the Appalachian Trail Conservancy.
The funding mechanism listed is a Cooperative Agreement, and the opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding under CFDA 15.935, National Trails System Projects. The NPS indicates there will be one expected award, and the total anticipated funding amount is exactly $171,500, with the award floor and ceiling both set at $171,500, meaning the intended award amount is fixed rather than a range. No cost sharing or matching requirement is stated, so the recipient is not expected to provide a mandatory match as a condition of the award.
Eligibility information is included largely for transparency, but the announcement makes clear it is a single-source action to a specific nonprofit organization. While the general eligible applicant category is "Nonprofits having a 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, other than institutions of higher education," the notice specifies that the intended recipient is the Appalachian Trail Conservancy, and the award will be made under Cooperative Agreement Number H0500000002/P11AC90861. In practical terms, other organizations are not being invited to apply, because the purpose of this posting is simply to disclose the government intent to fund these activities through an existing partner relationship.
The timeline in the listing reflects the administrative posting dates rather than an application window. It was posted and created on August 12, 2013, with an original and current closing date of August 17, 2013, and an archive date of August 18, 2013. Because this is not an application-based solicitation, the "closing date" functions more like the end of the public notice period on Grants.gov than a deadline for submission.
For anyone seeking the detailed scope of work or the exact project activities covered under "natural resources management," the announcement directs readers to review the attachment available under the "Full Announcement" link on the Grants.gov posting. The contact person for access issues or questions about the full announcement is Jennifer Fleming, an Agreements Officer with the National Park Service, with the phone number listed as 215-597-6476.
