Opportunity Summary:

This notice is a National Park Service (NPS), U.S. Department of the Interior funding announcement titled "Notice of Intent to Award PLC Youth Crew - Provide Improvements to Stonecliff Walk in Campsites at New River Gorge" (Funding Opportunity Number: NPS 15 NERO 0062). It is explicitly not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as a public notice that NPS intends to make a single, non-competitive award for a specific set of project activities tied to improvements at the Stonecliff walk-in campsites in the New River Gorge area.

The funding instrument identified is a cooperative agreement, and the award is being issued as a task agreement under an existing, previously competed cooperative agreement (Cooperative Agreement # P15AC00012). In practice, that means the underlying relationship and selection process already occurred through a prior competition, and this action is an add-on task under that umbrella rather than a new open solicitation. Because of that structure, the announcement does not invite other organizations to apply and does not provide an application process for new entrants.

NPS states the intent to fund the work without full and open competition as a single-source award to the Citizens Conservation Corps of West Virginia (CCCWV), described as a nonprofit entity. The opportunity is associated with CFDA number 15.931, "Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations," which aligns with the "PLC Youth Crew" framing in the title and suggests youth conservation crew participation as a central delivery method for the on-the-ground work.

The announcement indicates there will be one expected award, with an estimated total funding amount of $25,000. The award ceiling and award floor are both listed as $25,000, which effectively signals a fixed award amount for the planned scope. A cost sharing or matching requirement is also noted as "Yes," meaning the recipient is expected to contribute some form of match (cash or in-kind) consistent with the terms of the cooperative agreement and task agreement, though the specific match percentage or structure is not provided in the summary text.

In terms of timing, the notice was posted and created on June 17, 2015, with an original and current closing date of June 26, 2015, and an archive date of June 27, 2015. In the context of a notice of intent to award, those dates function more as an administrative posting window on Grants.gov rather than a true competitive deadline for proposals, since the agency is not soliciting applications.

For additional details beyond the synopsis, the notice directs readers to the "Related Documents" section on Grants.gov and to open the "Full Announcement." For help accessing the full announcement electronically, the listed contact is Jennifer Fleming, NPS NER Agreements Officer, at (215) 597-6476.
