Opportunity Summary:
The opportunity titled "NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD - Journey through Hallowed Ground National Heritage Area" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 16 NERO 0015) is a National Park Service (NPS) funding notice issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI). It is categorized as a discretionary award and will be made through a cooperative agreement, with the funding activity identified under "Regional Development." The CFDA number listed is 15.939, which is associated with NPS financial assistance programs.
This announcement is specifically not a solicitation and not a request for applications. Instead, it functions as a public notification that the National Park Service intends to provide funding for certain project activities without conducting a full and open competitive process. In practical terms, that means the NPS had already identified the intended recipient and purpose of the award and is publishing the notice to document and disclose its intent to proceed with a non-competitive award.
The notice indicates an expected total award amount up to an award ceiling of $58,890, with only one award anticipated. The posting date and creation date are both February 5, 2016, and the listed closing date is February 14, 2016 (with no change between original and current closing dates). Because this is a notice of intent to award rather than an open competition, the closing date generally serves more as an administrative marker for the public notice period rather than a deadline for submitting proposals.
Eligibility is broadly labeled as "Others," with a note indicating that clarification would normally be found in an "Additional Information on Eligibility" field. However, given the nature of the notice, eligibility language does not operate the way it would in a competitive grant. The key point is that the NPS is not inviting new applicants, and there is no application process associated with this announcement.
Overall, the opportunity communicates that the NPS plans to fund project work connected to the Journey through Hallowed Ground National Heritage Area under a cooperative agreement, for a modest, single award amount, and that the agency is doing so through a non-competitive process while providing transparency to the public about that intention.
