Opportunity Summary:
This notice describes a National Park Service (NPS), U.S. Department of the Interior, intent to make a single cooperative agreement award for a project titled "Appalachian Trail Visitor Impacts Assessment." It is explicitly not a request for applications and is not being competed through a standard open solicitation. Instead, it serves as public notice that NPS plans to fund specific project activities without full and open competition.
The award is identified under Funding Opportunity Number NPS 15 NERO 0082 and falls under the discretionary funding category, with the funding instrument type listed as a cooperative agreement. The program is tied to CFDA 15.935, National Trails System Projects, indicating it relates to federal support activities connected to nationally designated trails, including planning, stewardship, assessment, and related implementation work. The activity category is listed as "Other," with the accompanying explanation reinforcing that this posting is solely a notice of intent to award rather than a competitive grant opportunity.
The intended recipient is the Appalachian Trail Conservancy (ATC), described in the listing as a nonprofit entity, and the notice indicates the agreement will be issued as a single-source award to ATC. Because it is single-source, "eligible applicants" is effectively limited to that organization for this specific action, and there is no open eligibility pool for other entities to apply under this announcement.
Funding details are very specific and fixed: the estimated total funding is $89,500, and both the award ceiling and award floor are also $89,500, meaning NPS anticipated one award at that exact amount. The posting lists an expected number of awards of 1. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is not expected to provide non-federal match as a condition of the award under this notice.
The timeline provided reflects the administrative window for the notice itself rather than an application period. The notice was posted and created on July 4, 2015, with an original and current closing date of July 13, 2015, and it was archived on July 14, 2015. Since the announcement is not soliciting proposals, these dates primarily serve as the public posting period for transparency.
For anyone seeking the full text describing the project activities and rationale for the noncompetitive approach, the notice directs readers to Grants.gov "Related Documents" and the "Full Announcement." The listed point of contact for access issues is Jennifer Fleming, NPS NER Agreements Officer, reachable by phone at 215-597-6476.
