Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS) posted a federal financial assistance notice titled "Task 3" under Funding Opportunity Number NPS WASO P12AC11088. The notice is not a competitive grant solicitation. Instead, it serves as a formal Notice of Intent to Award a specific task agreement (P12AC11088) under an existing cooperative agreement (H2420090131). The intent is to issue an award in the amount of $120,000 to a named recipient: the Surface Transportation Policy Project. Because it is only a notice of intent, the agency explicitly states that no proposals will be accepted for this task agreement.
The opportunity is categorized under "Other" and uses a Cooperative Agreement as the funding instrument, indicating an assistance relationship where the federal agency is typically expected to have substantial involvement in the funded work. The activity area is listed as Transportation, and it is associated with CFDA 15.921, Rivers, Trails and Conservation Assistance, which is a program historically tied to technical assistance and partnership support for community-based conservation, trails, and related transportation or access initiatives.
From a funding standpoint, the notice describes a single expected award (Expected Awards: 1) with a total estimated funding amount of $120,000. The award ceiling and floor are both $120,000, which effectively means the award amount is fixed for this action. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement indicated, so the recipient is not being asked to provide a non-federal match as a condition of the award.
Eligibility information in the record lists nonprofits with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education) as eligible applicants in general, but that eligibility category is largely academic here because the NPS is not soliciting applications. The key limitation is that the award is intended for a pre-identified organization (Surface Transportation Policy Project) under an existing cooperative agreement vehicle, and the public notice is primarily for transparency and administrative record purposes rather than competition.
In terms of timing, the notice was posted and created on August 17, 2012, with an original and current closing date of August 27, 2012, and it was archived on September 26, 2012. Even though a closing date is shown, it should not be read as a deadline for submissions since submissions are not being accepted; it is more consistent with standard grants.gov posting practices that attach dates to public notices.
