Opportunity Summary:
This notice is a National Park Service (NPS), U.S. Department of the Interior funding announcement titled "Notice of Intent to Award: Operation and Public Presentation of the Thomas Cole Historic House (TCHH)" (Funding Opportunity Number: NPS 16 NERO 0022). It is explicitly a public notice of the government s intent to make an award rather than a competitive grant solicitation. In plain terms, the NPS is announcing that it plans to fund specific project activities related to operating and presenting the Thomas Cole Historic House to the public, and it is doing so without holding a full and open competition.
The instrument identified for this action is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates that the NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the supported work (for example, coordination, oversight, or collaboration on deliverables), as opposed to a standard grant where the recipient generally carries out the project more independently. The opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding, and the activity category is listed as "Other," with the implication that more detail about what "Other" means would be found in the full announcement text.
The notice lists CFDA (Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance) number 15.954, which is the program identifier used to track federal assistance activities. The announcement states an expected number of awards of one, with an award ceiling of $157,600. The posting and creation dates are March 4, 2016, and the closing date shown is March 13, 2016. Because this is not a request for applications, that "closing date" functions more like an administrative timeline reference for the notice rather than a deadline for applicants to submit proposals in a competition.
Eligibility is broadly labeled as "Others," with a note that additional eligibility information would be provided in the full announcement. However, the central point of the notice is that the NPS is proceeding without full and open competition, which usually means the intended recipient is pre-identified or otherwise justified under applicable federal assistance rules for noncompetitive awards.
For anyone seeking the finer details (such as the specific scope of work, the justification for limiting competition, the expected period of performance, reporting requirements, or the nature of NPS involvement), the notice directs readers to the "Full Announcement" available through the related documents on Grants.gov. It also points to Grants.gov help resources for navigation and general grant process questions, but again, the key practical takeaway is that this posting is informational and does not invite new applications.
