Opportunity Summary:

The Notice of Intent to Award: Cultural Landscape Maintenance and Education (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 16 NERO 0011) is a National Park Service (NPS) announcement published by the U.S. Department of the Interior to inform the public that the agency plans to make a single cooperative agreement award for specific project activities related to cultural landscape maintenance and education. A key point is that this posting is not a call for proposals and not a competitive grant solicitation. Instead, it serves as a transparency notice that NPS intends to fund the work without full and open competition, meaning the recipient is effectively pre-identified under the agency's applicable authority and justification.

This opportunity is categorized as a discretionary award and uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument. A cooperative agreement generally indicates that NPS anticipates having substantial involvement in the funded work, such as collaborating on planning, technical guidance, coordination, or oversight, rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back as in a more hands-off grant. The funding activity category is listed as "Other," with further clarification referenced in the full announcement materials.

The total anticipated funding amount is capped at $30,430 (the award ceiling), and NPS expects to make one award. The CFDA (Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance) number associated with this program is 15.931. Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with the specific eligibility details and any recipient constraints provided in the full announcement. The posting and creation dates are January 7, 2016, and the closing date shown is January 16, 2016; however, because the notice is not requesting applications, the date functions more as an administrative posting window rather than a deadline for submitting a proposal in the usual sense.

Anyone looking for the precise scope of work, the intended recipient, the legal and programmatic rationale for limiting competition, and the expected deliverables would need to open the full announcement via the "Related Documents" link referenced in the notice. The announcement also directs users to Grants.gov help resources for navigation and general grant information, but it does not invite the public to apply for this particular award.
