Opportunity Summary:
This notice is a National Park Service (NPS), U.S. Department of the Interior funding announcement titled "Notice of Intent to Award Rehabilitation of the Appalachian National Scenic Trail in Connecticut and Massachusetts" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 15 NERO 0055). It is not an open grant competition and it is not requesting applications from the public. Instead, it serves as a formal public disclosure that NPS intends to fund specific project work through a cooperative agreement mechanism without full and open competition, meaning the agency has already identified the recipient and plans to move forward under an existing agreement structure.
The award is structured as a Cooperative Agreement, tied to Task Agreement P15AC00869 under Cooperative Agreement P14AC00936. The funded work is focused on rehabilitation activities on the Appalachian National Scenic Trail located in Connecticut and Massachusetts. While the short description in the listing does not spell out the exact scope of on-the-ground tasks, the title and program context indicate trail rehabilitation work typically associated with restoring or improving trail conditions and related resources. The funding aligns with CFDA 15.931, "Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations," which generally points to conservation or stewardship work carried out with a youth service component.
The notice specifies that this will be a single-source award to Greenagers, Inc., identified as a nonprofit entity. "Single source" in this context means NPS is selecting this organization directly rather than running a competitive solicitation. As a result, the "Eligible Applicants" field effectively does not apply to the broader public, because the announcement is simply documenting the agency's intent to make one award to one named organization.
Financially, the opportunity lists an estimated total funding amount of $25,000, with an award floor and ceiling both set at $25,000, indicating the planned award amount is fixed at that level. The notice also indicates there is a cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is expected to contribute non-federal resources (cash and/or in-kind support) as part of the overall project effort, consistent with how many cooperative agreements are structured.
In terms of timing, the opportunity was posted and created on June 4, 2015, with an original and current closing date of June 13, 2015, and an archive date of June 14, 2015. Because this is not a request for applications, these dates function more like the public notice window for the posting rather than a deadline for submitting proposals.
For access and administrative questions, the notice directs users to the "Related Documents" section on Grants.gov for the full announcement and provides a point of contact for assistance obtaining the announcement electronically: Jennifer Fleming, NPS NER Agreements Officer, phone 215-597-6476.
