Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS), under the U.S. Department of the Interior, published a Notice of Intent to Award for a project titled "Hire 2016 Youth Crew to Maintain Cultural Landscapes at Fort Necessity National Battlefield." This announcement is meant to inform the public that NPS plans to fund a specific set of project activities through a cooperative agreement, and that the award will be made without full and open competition. In other words, it is not a typical competitive grant posting where organizations submit proposals for review. Instead, it serves as a transparency notice that NPS intends to direct funding to carry out the described work.
The opportunity is listed as a discretionary award and uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, which generally indicates that NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project while it is being carried out. The activity category is labeled as "Other," implying that the work does not neatly fit into a standard grants.gov category and is further explained in the official notice documents. The project focus, as stated in the title, is hiring and supporting a youth crew during the 2016 period to maintain cultural landscapes at Fort Necessity National Battlefield, which typically includes preservation-oriented grounds and landscape maintenance tasks that help protect and present historically significant spaces.
Administrative details show the funding opportunity number as NPS 16 NERO 0050, associated with CFDA number 15.931. The announcement anticipates a single award (ExpectedAwards: 1) with an award ceiling of $50,000, indicating the maximum planned federal funding amount for the cooperative agreement. The posting and creation dates are both May 9, 2016, and the listed closing date is May 18, 2016. Even though a closing date is provided, the notice explicitly states it is not a request for applications, so the date functions more as a public notice timeline milestone than a deadline for competitive submissions.
Eligibility is broadly labeled as "Others," with the finer eligibility details referenced as being located in the full notice text (the related documents). The agency of record is DOI-NPS. Anyone looking for the official rationale, partner identification, scope of work specifics, or the justification for limiting competition would need to consult the related documents referenced in the announcement. The posting also points users to the grants.gov support resources for general navigation and grant-related guidance, even though this particular notice is informational rather than an open call for proposals.
