Opportunity Summary:
This notice is a National Park Service (NPS) announcement from the U.S. Department of the Interior stating its intent to make a single, non-competitive award for a specific project titled "PLC 2016: Employ Diverse Youth Community Commuter Crew at Valley Forge NHP." It is explicitly not a request for applications, meaning the agency is not seeking proposals from the general public and will not run an open competition for this funding. Instead, the purpose of the posting is transparency: it serves as public notice that NPS plans to fund certain project activities through a direct award process rather than full and open competition. Anyone looking for application instructions would not find them here, because the decision is already oriented toward making an award and the detailed justification and project specifics would typically be located in the linked supporting documents on the Grants.gov posting.
The opportunity is categorized as a discretionary award and will be issued as a cooperative agreement, which usually implies substantial involvement by the federal agency during the project period (for example, coordination, technical input, or shared oversight) rather than a more hands-off grant structure. The program is associated with CFDA number 15.931, which corresponds to National Park Service-related assistance. The funding activity category is listed as "Other," with the expectation that further clarification is provided in the text field referenced in the original listing or in the related documents.
Key administrative details in the source data indicate this opportunity was created on July 13, 2016, with an original closing date of July 22, 2016, which in this context functions more like a public notice window than a deadline for applicant submissions. The anticipated funding amount (award ceiling) is $44,541, and the expected number of awards is one. Eligibility is broadly labeled as "Others," with the note that additional eligibility information would be provided elsewhere in the full announcement materials; in notices like this, eligibility language is often less relevant because the agency is not soliciting competing applications.
In practical terms, the project title suggests the funded work would support employing a diverse youth "community commuter crew" at Valley Forge National Historical Park (Valley Forge NHP). While the notice text does not list tasks, outcomes, or performance measures, the phrasing implies a youth employment and workforce development component tied to park operations or stewardship activities, with an emphasis on diversity and local community participation (the "commuter" aspect suggests participants travel from nearby communities rather than living on site). Anyone seeking the complete rationale for the non-competitive approach, the identity or type of intended partner, the statement of work, and the planned activities would need to review the related documents attached to the Grants.gov record for opportunity number NPS 16 NERO 0104.
