Opportunity Summary:
This notice is a National Park Service (NPS) announcement from the U.S. Department of the Interior stating the agency's intent to make an award under an existing Master Cooperative Agreement (P16AC00041) to support work at Acadia National Park. The focus of the supported activities is broad but clearly aligned with core park mission needs: conservation and protection of park resources, as well as outreach and education efforts connected to those resources. The posting is essentially a transparency step letting the public know that NPS plans to move forward with funding these project activities.
A key point is that this is not a competitive grant solicitation and not a request for applications. The notice explicitly explains that NPS intends to fund the activities without full and open competition, meaning the agency is not inviting new proposals from the public under this announcement. Instead, it signals that NPS has identified a recipient or partner under the cooperative agreement framework and is proceeding toward a single expected award.
Administratively, the opportunity is listed as a discretionary funding action using a Cooperative Agreement as the funding instrument. Cooperative agreements are typically used when the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the work, so in practical terms this usually means NPS staff may collaborate closely on planning, coordination, technical direction, resource management priorities, interpretation, or other shared responsibilities as the projects are carried out at Acadia.
The opportunity is cataloged under CFDA 15.954 and is attributed to DOI-NPS. It was posted and created on April 11, 2016, with an original and current closing date of April 21, 2016. The listing shows an expected number of awards of one. The award ceiling is shown as 0, which commonly indicates that a specific maximum amount is not being stated in the public synopsis itself (often because the actual amount and detailed scope are provided in the attached related documents, or because the award value is handled under the existing agreement terms rather than a new competitive ceiling).
Eligibility is labeled as "Others," with the implication that eligibility is limited or defined in additional documentation rather than being broadly open to typical categories like state governments, nonprofits, or universities. The announcement directs readers to the "Related Documents" section for complete details, which suggests the specifics of the partner, project tasks, funding amounts, period of performance, and justification for the non-competitive approach are contained in that supporting material. It also points users to Grants.gov support resources for general navigation help, but that guidance is informational rather than an invitation to apply under this notice.
