Opportunity Summary:
The "Rail fencing restoration project" (Funding Opportunity Number NPSNOIGREE1600872) is a National Park Service notice under the U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI-NPS) announcing the agency's intent to make a non-competitive award. The key point is that this is a Notice of Intent to Award, not an open solicitation. In other words, the announcement is being published to satisfy public notice requirements and communicate that NPS plans to issue a task agreement without competition rather than invite applications from the broader public.
The opportunity is listed as a discretionary funding action, and the anticipated funding instrument is a cooperative agreement. The activity category is Natural Resources, and it is associated with CFDA number 15.931, which is tied to National Park Service assistance programs. The listing indicates the eligible applicant type as nonprofits with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). Even though an eligibility category is provided, the notice language makes clear that the agency is not seeking proposals or applications because the award is intended to be non-competitive.
Administratively, the opportunity was created and posted on June 7, 2016, with an original and current closing date of June 21, 2016. The listing shows an expected number of awards of one, consistent with a single planned task agreement. The award ceiling is shown as $0, which commonly appears in notices of intent or placeholder postings where the specific funding amount is not being competed or is not being stated in the announcement.
Overall, this notice functions as a transparency posting about an upcoming cooperative agreement related to restoring rail fencing, rather than a grant competition. Anyone looking for an opportunity to apply would not be able to submit an application under this announcement because NPS is signaling that it intends to proceed with a designated non-competitive award.
