Opportunity Summary:
This notice is a National Park Service (NPS), U.S. Department of the Interior announcement titled "Notice of Intent to Award Rehabilitation of the Appalachian National Scenic Trail in Connecticut and Massachusetts" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 13 NERO 0057). It is not a competitive grant solicitation and it is not requesting applications from the public. Instead, it serves as a formal public notification that NPS intends to make a specific award without full and open competition, using an existing cooperative agreement vehicle.
The planned funding instrument is a Cooperative Agreement, and the work is tied to conservation-related activities associated with the Appalachian National Scenic Trail in Connecticut and Massachusetts. The announcement indicates the funding falls under CFDA 15.931, "Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations," which generally reflects projects where youth crews and service organizations carry out hands-on conservation, stewardship, and related field work. The project will be implemented through Task Agreement P13AC00615 with the Center for Peace through Culture, Inc., acting on behalf of Greenagers, under an existing Cooperative Agreement P12AC30906. In practical terms, that means the NPS had already established a broader cooperative agreement framework with the partner organization, and this notice covers a specific task order or task agreement under that umbrella to complete the trail rehabilitation work.
The opportunity is listed as discretionary and anticipates a single award (Expected Awards: 1). The total estimated funding amount is $27,500, and both the award floor and award ceiling are also $27,500, indicating a fixed intended award amount rather than a range. The posting date and creation date are June 24, 2013, with an original and current closing date of June 28, 2013, and an archive date of June 29, 2013. Those dates function more as an administrative posting window on Grants.gov rather than a true application period, since the notice is explicitly not open for competition.
A cost sharing or matching requirement is marked as "Yes," meaning the project is expected to include some level of non-federal contribution (such as cash, donated services, or in-kind support) consistent with the terms negotiated in the cooperative agreement and task agreement. While the listing shows eligible applicants as 501(c)(3) nonprofits (other than institutions of higher education), the eligibility statement clarifies that this is a single-source award to a nonprofit entity, reinforcing that the award is intended for the named partner rather than any broader applicant pool.
For anyone trying to locate more specifics, the notice directs readers to consult the attachment available through the "Full Announcement" link on Grants.gov for complete details. If there are issues accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact is Jennifer Fleming, NPS NER Agreements Officer, at 215-597-6476.
