Opportunity Summary:
The Notice of Intent to Award: Great Egg Harbor CMP Implementation is a National Park Service (NPS) funding notice issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior to publicly announce its intention to fund a specific project related to implementing a Comprehensive Management Plan (CMP) for the Great Egg Harbor area. The key point of this announcement is that it is not a request for applications. In other words, it is not an open competition where multiple applicants submit proposals for review. Instead, it serves as a transparency notice that NPS plans to move forward with a single, non-competitively selected awardee to carry out defined project activities tied to CMP implementation.
This opportunity is listed as a discretionary award and will be issued through a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates that NPS expects to remain substantially involved in the project during implementation rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back. Cooperative agreements are commonly used when the federal agency anticipates active participation such as coordinating partners, providing technical input, helping guide deliverables, or collaborating on planning and execution. The funding activity category is labeled as "Other," with clarification expected in the full notice materials linked under the posting's related documents, suggesting the work does not fit neatly into standard categories like research, construction, or education but is instead focused on management-plan implementation activities.
The funding opportunity number is NPS 16 NERO 0157, and it is associated with CFDA (now commonly referred to as Assistance Listing) number 15.954, which is tied to National Park Service assistance programs. The notice was created on August 18, 2016, with an original closing date of August 28, 2016. In notices like this, the "closing date" is generally more about the public posting period and administrative timing rather than a deadline for submitting applications, since the announcement explicitly states that applications are not being solicited.
Financially, the notice lists an award ceiling of $139,300 and anticipates a total of one award. That aligns with the intent-to-award format: the agency expects to make one cooperative agreement in an amount up to the ceiling listed to support the CMP implementation work. Eligibility is broadly labeled as "Others," with additional eligibility details presumably described in the linked full documentation; this often reflects that the intended recipient could be a specific partner organization such as a nonprofit, local government entity, conservation organization, or other stakeholder group already engaged with the NPS on the Great Egg Harbor management framework.
For anyone trying to understand the specifics of what tasks will be funded, how the recipient was selected, why full and open competition is not being used, and what deliverables or project outcomes are expected, the notice directs readers to consult the complete details in the related documents section of the posting. The announcement also points users to Grants.gov support resources for general navigation help, but this guidance is largely procedural since the posting is intended as a public notice rather than an invitation to apply.
