Opportunity Summary:
This opportunity is a National Park Service (NPS) "Notice of Intent to Award" issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior for a project titled "Conduct Archeological Site Identification and Stabilization of Historic Dumps." The key point is that it is not a competitive grant solicitation and not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as a public notification that NPS plans to make an award for the described work without full and open competition, meaning the agency has already identified a recipient or has a specific partnering arrangement in mind and is publishing the notice for transparency and compliance purposes.
The planned award is structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates substantial involvement by NPS in carrying out the project compared to a standard grant. The funding opportunity is listed under the discretionary category, with the activity category labeled as "Other," implying the work does not fit neatly into a single standard program area and is explained further in the related documentation. The CFDA listing provided is 15.946, which is used to track federal assistance programs and helps recipients and the public understand what federal funding stream the project is associated with.
Financially, the notice shows an award ceiling of $77,859 and anticipates a single award (ExpectedAwards: 1). The posting was created on September 11, 2016, with an original closing date of September 21, 2016. In notices like this, the "closing date" generally functions more like the end of the public notice period or the timeframe for any required administrative steps, rather than a deadline for submitting applications, since the agency is not soliciting proposals from the public.
Eligibility is labeled broadly as "Others," with additional eligibility details expected to be clarified in the full notice materials linked in the "Related Documents" section on Grants.gov. That wording is common when the intended recipient is not one of the standard applicant categories (such as state governments, local governments, tribes, or universities) or when the agency wants to avoid implying that the opportunity is open for competition. The notice also emphasizes that anyone seeking full specifics should consult the related documents, and it directs users to Grants.gov support resources for general navigation or grant information, even though this particular posting is not designed for general applicants.
In practical terms, this announcement is best read as an informational posting: NPS is stating that it intends to fund archeological site identification and stabilization work related to historic dumps, using a cooperative agreement mechanism, up to the stated maximum amount, and expects to make one award. Anyone searching for opportunities to apply should understand that this notice does not invite submissions; it simply discloses an intended non-competitive federal assistance award and points the public to the attached documents for the formal justification, partner details, and project scope.
