Opportunity Summary:
This notice describes the National Park Service (NPS), under the U.S. Department of the Interior, publicly announcing its intent to issue additional funding for implementation work related to the New England National Scenic Trail. It is explicitly a "Notice of Intent to Award" and not a request for applications, meaning the agency is not seeking proposals from the public and there is no competitive application process associated with this posting. Instead, the purpose is transparency: the NPS is signaling that it plans to move forward with a specific funding action without full and open competition.
The planned action is a modification to an existing cooperative agreement with the Appalachian Mountain Club (AMC). In practical terms, this means the NPS already has an established agreement vehicle in place (identified as Cooperative Agreement H4506100509/P10AC00315) and intends to add funds to that agreement rather than create a new, competed opportunity. The announcement indicates the award is sole source to a nonprofit entity, which explains why the "Eligible Applicants" category is not broadly open and why the notice emphasizes that it will be made without full and open competition.
The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which generally implies substantial involvement by the federal agency in carrying out the funded activities (as opposed to a standard grant, which typically involves less day-to-day federal participation). The opportunity is categorized as discretionary and tied to CFDA 15.921, Rivers, Trails and Conservation Assistance. No cost sharing or matching is required for this action, so the recipient is not being asked to provide a non-federal match as a condition of receiving the funds.
Financially, the notice lists an estimated total funding amount of $91,000, and both the award floor and award ceiling are also $91,000. That combination indicates the agency anticipated making a single award at a fixed amount rather than a range of possible award sizes. Consistent with that, the expected number of awards is one.
In terms of timing and administrative details, the notice was posted on July 3, 2013, with an original and current closing date of July 8, 2013, and an archive date of July 9, 2013. For notices like this, the "closing date" functions more as the end of the public posting period on Grants.gov rather than a deadline for submitting applications, since applications are not being accepted. The funding opportunity number is NPS 13 NERO 0065, and the title is "Notice of Intent to Award New England National Scenic Trail Implementation."
For anyone trying to access the complete notice text (which the posting indicates is available as an attachment under the full announcement link), the listed point of contact is Jennifer Fleming, Agreements Officer in the NPS Northeast Region, reachable by phone at 215-597-6476.
