Opportunity Summary:
This notice is a public announcement from the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service (NPS), titled "Notice of Intent to Award: Physical and Programmatic Accessibility Evaluations of Shenandoah National Park" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 16 NERO 0012). It is classified as a discretionary opportunity and would be issued as a cooperative agreement under CFDA 15.954. The key point is that it is not a request for applications. Instead, NPS is notifying the public that it intends to fund a specific set of project activities without full and open competition, meaning the agency is planning a non-competitive award rather than soliciting proposals from the broader public.
The project focus, as stated in the title, is on evaluating both physical accessibility and programmatic accessibility at Shenandoah National Park. In practical terms, physical accessibility evaluations generally relate to access to the built environment and visitor infrastructure, such as routes, facilities, and other park assets that visitors use. Programmatic accessibility evaluations generally relate to access to services, programs, and experiences offered by the park, such as interpretive programs, visitor information, and other public-facing activities. The notice itself does not include the detailed scope, methodology, or deliverables in the excerpt provided, but it indicates that full specifics would be available in the "Full Announcement" attached in the Related Documents section on Grants.gov.
Administratively, the opportunity was posted on January 12, 2016, with an original and current closing date of January 22, 2016. The listed award ceiling is $96,638, and NPS anticipated making one award. Eligibility is broadly labeled as "Others," with the implication that the precise eligible entity or constraints are explained elsewhere in the full announcement; however, because this is a notice of intent to award rather than a competitive solicitation, the eligibility field is largely informational and does not function as an invitation for applications.
Overall, this posting functions as a transparency measure: NPS is documenting its intention to fund accessibility evaluation work at Shenandoah National Park via a single cooperative agreement, without conducting an open competition. Anyone seeking the full rationale, the intended recipient (if named), the legal or policy justification for limiting competition, and the detailed project description would need to review the complete announcement linked through Grants.gov.
