Opportunity Summary:

The Shenandoah Valley Battlefields National Historic District opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 16 NERO 0005) is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding notice issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI). It is presented as a cooperative agreement and is categorized under community development, with CFDA listing 15.939. The key point is that this posting is a Notice of Intent to Award rather than a competitive grant solicitation. In other words, it is not asking the public to submit applications, and it is not structured as an open competition.

The purpose of the announcement is simply to provide public notice that the National Park Service intends to fund certain project activities without full and open competition. That phrasing signals a noncompetitive or limited-competition action where the agency has already identified a specific recipient or arrangement and is documenting that intention transparently. The listing indicates that one award was expected, with a maximum funding level (award ceiling) of $85,390.

The notice was created and posted on December 11, 2015, and it shows a closing date of December 20, 2015. Even though a closing date is listed, the description makes clear that it should not be interpreted as an application deadline, since the announcement is not a request for proposals. Instead, the date typically functions as an administrative endpoint for the public notice period shown on the funding portal.

Eligibility is broadly labeled as "Others," with the additional eligibility details referenced as being in a separate text field (not included in what you provided). That usually means eligibility is constrained to a particular type of partner organization or a specifically qualified entity tied to the project, but the critical detail here is that the notice is not soliciting new applicants. Overall, the posting serves as a transparency measure: it announces an intended, noncompetitive cooperative agreement related to the Shenandoah Valley Battlefields National Historic District, outlines the basic award characteristics, and documents NPS intent to proceed with the identified project funding.
