Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS), within the U.S. Department of the Interior, issued a "Notice of Intent to Award" titled "Appalachian Trail Repair Rehabilitation Maintenance" under Funding Opportunity Number NPS 15 NERO 0102. The key point of this notice is that it is not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as a public announcement that NPS intends to fund specific project activities without full and open competition, meaning the agency is not soliciting proposals from the broader public or from multiple potential applicants.
This opportunity is structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates an award where the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the project compared with a standard grant. The funding is categorized under CFDA 15.935, National Trails System Projects, and the activity category is listed as "Other," clarified by the notice language that this posting exists specifically to announce a non-competitive, single-source award. The intended recipient is explicitly identified as the Appalachian Trail Conservancy (ATC), described here as a nonprofit organization, and the notice indicates that the award will be made solely to ATC.
Financially, the announcement provides a very clear funding amount: the estimated total funding is $351,062, and both the award ceiling and award floor are also $351,062, signaling that the NPS anticipates making one award for that exact amount. The number of expected awards is listed as 1, reinforcing that this is a single, predetermined award rather than a competitive program with multiple recipients. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is not expected to provide a required non-federal match as a condition of the award.
In terms of timing, the opportunity was posted and created on July 11, 2015, with an original and current closing date of July 20, 2015, and an archive date of July 21, 2015. Because this is not an application-based competition, these dates function more as the public notice period rather than a window for submitting proposals. The notice directs readers to consult the full announcement via the "Related Documents" link on Grants.gov for complete details on the planned project activities and the terms of the intended award.
For assistance obtaining the full announcement if there are access issues, the notice provides a point of contact: Jennifer Fleming, NPS NER Agreements Officer, reachable by phone at 215-597-6476.
