Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS) posted a notice titled "Planning Technical Assistance to Eliminate Gaps in Potomac Heritage Natl. Scenic Trail within No. Virginia" under Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOI POHE R3991110012. It is categorized as a discretionary opportunity using a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, and it falls under the natural resources activity category. The associated CFDA (now commonly referred to as assistance listing) is 15.935, National Trails System Projects. The purpose, as stated in the title, is to provide planning and technical assistance aimed at addressing and eliminating gaps in the Potomac Heritage National Scenic Trail within Northern Virginia, which typically means supporting efforts such as route planning, coordination, mapping, feasibility work, and related technical planning activities needed to connect discontinuous segments of a designated trail corridor.
This announcement is not an open grant competition and is explicitly not a request for applications. Instead, it is a notice of intent to make a single-source, noncompetitive award to one identified recipient: the Northern Neck Regional Commission. The NPS explains that the action will result in a task agreement award under an existing Cooperative Agreement, identified as H3991100013. In other words, rather than soliciting proposals from the public, the agency is signaling that it plans to issue a specific task agreement under an already-established cooperative agreement framework. The notice also cites the Department of the Interior policy basis for a noncompetitive award, referencing DOI 505 DM 2.12C, which is the internal DOI guidance used to justify and document circumstances where a single-source award is appropriate.
In terms of funding scale and award structure, the opportunity lists an estimated total funding amount of $35,000 and indicates an expected number of awards of one. The listing shows both an award ceiling and award floor of $0, which is a common artifact in older postings where the specific ceiling/floor fields were not used consistently even though an estimated total amount is provided. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement indicated, meaning the recipient is not required by this notice to contribute matching funds as a condition of the award. The posting and creation date are Aug 3, 2011, with an original and current closing date of Aug 5, 2011, and an archive date of Sep 4, 2011. Given the noncompetitive, single-recipient nature of the action, the short "closing" window functions more as an administrative timeline for the notice rather than a deadline for competing applications.
Eligibility is correspondingly narrow. While the general eligible applicant category is listed as "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," the eligibility statement makes the intent clear: the award is directed to the Northern Neck Regional Commission as the only recipient, and the announcement is not inviting submissions from other entities. Anyone seeking more detail is directed to the full announcement attachment, and the NPS provides a contact for access issues: Rita Mihalik, Contract Specialist, at 301-432-7890 or ritamihalik@nps.gov.
