Opportunity Summary:
This notice is a National Park Service (NPS) announcement stating its intent to make an award for an Ecosystem Restoration Program at Valles Caldera National Preserve. It is published as a formal "Notice of Intent to Award" rather than an open grant competition, meaning it is not asking the public to submit applications and it is not a request for proposals. The purpose of issuing the notice is primarily informational and procedural: it publicly documents that the NPS plans to issue a task agreement under an existing cooperative agreement, consistent with the requirements referenced in 505 DM 2.12.
The planned recipient named in the notice is Los Amigos de Valles Caldera. The NPS indicates it expects to make a single award (Expected Awards: 1) using a cooperative agreement mechanism, and the work falls under the Natural Resources funding activity category. In practical terms, this signals that the NPS is using a collaboration-oriented funding instrument, typically used when the agency anticipates substantial involvement in the project alongside the recipient, rather than simply issuing a standard grant with minimal federal participation.
The opportunity is identified by Funding Opportunity Number NPSNOIVALL1601247 and is associated with CFDA number 15.944, which corresponds to National Park Service assistance programs. The listing includes an "Award Ceiling" of 0, which commonly appears in notices that are not soliciting applications and may not be structured to advertise a competed funding maximum; it should not be interpreted as meaning no funding will be provided, but rather that the notice is not framed like a typical competitive funding announcement with published award ranges.
Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with a note to consult the additional eligibility information in the full posting, but because this is explicitly not an application-based announcement and the intended awardee is already identified, it does not function as an open opportunity for new applicants. The notice was created on August 11, 2016, with an original closing date of August 21, 2016, which in this context generally reflects the administrative window for posting and public notice rather than a deadline for submissions.
Overall, this announcement is best read as a transparency and compliance step: the NPS is signaling that it plans to move forward with a specific, non-competitive task agreement to support ecosystem restoration activities at Valles Caldera National Preserve in partnership with Los Amigos de Valles Caldera, using a cooperative agreement framework within its natural resources management mission.
