Opportunity Summary:
This notice describes a National Park Service (NPS), U.S. Department of the Interior, intent to make a single, non-competitive award for work related to "Appalachian Trail Open Areas Management." It is explicitly not a request for applications, meaning the government is not soliciting proposals from the public and there is no competitive application process tied to this posting. Instead, the purpose is to provide transparency that NPS plans to fund specific project activities through a task agreement issued to the Appalachian Trail Conservancy (ATC) under an existing cooperative agreement (Cooperative Agreement Number H0500000002/P11AC90861). In other words, the award is being made under an established partnership vehicle rather than through a new open competition.
The opportunity is listed as a discretionary cooperative agreement, categorized under the National Trails System Projects CFDA number 15.935. The announcement indicates one expected award, with an estimated total funding amount of $114,210. The award floor and ceiling are both $114,210, which signals that the funding amount is essentially fixed for this action. The posting also states there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is not expected to provide a mandatory non-federal match as a condition of the award.
Eligibility is technically described as limited to nonprofits with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), but the notice further clarifies that this is a single-source award to a specific nonprofit entity. Practically, that means the Appalachian Trail Conservancy is the intended recipient and other organizations are not being invited to apply. The timeline shown (posted July 17, 2013; closing July 23, 2013; archived July 24, 2013) reflects the public notice window rather than a true application deadline in the usual sense, since the action is not competitive.
For anyone seeking additional details, the notice points readers to an attachment available through the "Full Announcement" link on Grants.gov, which would typically contain the specific scope of work and rationale for awarding without full and open competition. The contact listed for access issues or related questions is Jennifer Fleming, NPS Northeast Region Agreements Officer, at 215-597-6476.
