Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS), an agency within the U.S. Department of the Interior, posted a "Notice of Intent to Award" for a project titled "Maintenance of Theodore Roosevelt Inaugural National Historic Site (NHS)." This notice is essentially a public transparency step that signals the government plans to make an award, but it is not inviting the public to apply. The announcement explicitly states, in multiple places, that this is not a request for applications. In practical terms, that means NPS has already identified the intended recipient or has a specific justification for proceeding without full and open competition, and the posting is meant to document that intent publicly rather than to launch a competitive grant process.
The opportunity is listed as a discretionary award using a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates a relationship where NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the supported work (for example, oversight, coordination, or joint project management) rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back. The funding activity category is labeled "Other," implying the detailed project classification is explained in the full announcement materials rather than fitting neatly into standard categories like education or research. The program is associated with CFDA number 15.954, which is one of the NPS assistance listings historically used for park-related support activities.
In terms of scale and structure, the notice indicates an award ceiling of $596,869 and anticipates a single award (Expected Awards: 1). That points to one primary recipient carrying out the maintenance-related scope of work for Theodore Roosevelt Inaugural NHS under the terms of the cooperative agreement. While the short summary text in the listing does not describe the specific tasks included under "maintenance," the title and context suggest the funded work would support upkeep and preservation needs tied to the historic site and its facilities, consistent with NPS stewardship responsibilities.
The listing provides key administrative identifiers for tracking and reference: the Funding Opportunity Number is "NPS 16 NERO 0209," and the opportunity was created on September 1, 2016, with an original closing date of September 11, 2016. Even though it shows a closing date, the notice language makes clear the date functions more like an administrative timeline for the posting rather than a deadline for applicants to submit proposals, since applications are not being solicited. The eligible applicants field is marked as "Others," with additional eligibility details presumably explained in the full documentation linked under "Related Documents" on Grants.gov.
Overall, this announcement should be read as a formal notice that NPS planned to issue a non-competitive cooperative agreement, up to about $596k, to support maintenance work at Theodore Roosevelt Inaugural National Historic Site, and that anyone seeking deeper detail would need to consult the attached or linked documentation referenced in the Grants.gov posting rather than preparing an application package.
