Opportunity Summary:
The Notice of Intent to Award: Champlain Valley Heritage Partnership (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 16 NERO 0158) is a National Park Service announcement used to publicly disclose that the agency plans to fund a specific set of project activities through a cooperative agreement, and that it intends to do so without full and open competition. In practical terms, this is not a typical grant solicitation where multiple applicants submit proposals and compete for funding. Instead, it is essentially a transparency notice that an award is anticipated for a particular partner and purpose, with the details and rationale laid out in the official supporting documentation referenced on Grants.gov under the "Related Documents" section.
This opportunity is administered by the United States Department of the Interior, National Park Service, and is categorized as a discretionary award. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which generally signals that NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the supported work compared with a standard grant. Cooperative agreements are commonly used when the agency and the recipient will coordinate closely on implementation, technical direction, review, or other forms of ongoing participation as the project moves forward.
The listing shows a single expected award, with an award ceiling of $296,500. That ceiling is the maximum amount anticipated for the award under this notice. The program is associated with CFDA number 15.939, which is the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance identifier used at the time (now generally tracked under Assistance Listings). The funding activity category is labeled "Other," with further clarification indicated to be available in the associated explanatory text field and the attached documentation.
Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with additional eligibility details also pointing to a clarification field and the related documents. This is consistent with notices of intent to award where the eligible or intended recipient may be a specific organization such as a local or regional partnership entity, nonprofit, or other non-federal partner aligned with the Champlain Valley Heritage Partnership mission and the NPS program goals. Because the notice is not a request for applications, the eligibility label does not function the way it would in a competitive solicitation; it is more of a classification for how the award is recorded in the grants system.
The announcement was created on August 19, 2016, with an original closing date of August 29, 2016. In this context, the closing date should be understood as the end of the public notice period or the administrative window for the posting, not a deadline for submitting applications, since the posting explicitly states that it is not soliciting proposals. Anyone looking for the full justification for the noncompetitive approach, a description of the specific activities to be supported, the intended recipient, the period of performance, and any deliverables or reporting expectations would need to open and review the documentation linked in the Grants.gov posting under "Related Documents."
