Opportunity Summary:
The opportunity titled "Trail Conservation and Repair at Heart of the Hills and Headquarters, Olympic National Park" is a National Park Service (NPS) notice related to trail work in Olympic National Park, specifically in the Heart of the Hills area and around park headquarters. It is categorized as a discretionary award and would be implemented through a cooperative agreement, which generally means the recipient is expected to work closely with the federal agency during planning and execution rather than simply receiving a grant with minimal federal involvement.
A key point is that this posting is explicitly not a standard, open funding opportunity announcement. Instead, it is a Notice of Intent (NOI) to award a task agreement under an already existing cooperative agreement, and it is directed to a single, pre-identified recipient. The justification for selecting a single source is referenced as "unique qualifications" under Department of the Interior policy (cited as 505 DM 2). In practical terms, this type of notice is largely informational: it signals the agency's intent to move forward with a specific partner rather than inviting competitive applications from multiple organizations.
The administering agency is the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service (DOI-NPS). The listing includes CFDA number 15.954, which is associated with National Park Service programs, and it identifies eligible applicants as state governments. The expected number of awards is one, reinforcing that this is not a competitive solicitation. The award ceiling is listed as $125,050, which indicates the maximum anticipated federal amount for this task agreement.
Timing details show the notice was created and posted on January 28, 2016, with a closing date of January 31, 2016. Given the very short window and the single-source nature, the closing date functions more as an administrative milestone for the notice rather than a typical deadline for applicants to assemble and submit proposals.
Overall, this notice communicates that NPS planned to fund and partner with one specific state-government recipient to carry out trail conservation and repair work at Olympic National Park locations identified as Heart of the Hills and park headquarters, using a cooperative agreement structure and a task agreement mechanism under an existing broader agreement. For anyone looking for an open grant competition, the essential takeaway is that this posting is not that; it is a formal public notice of an intended, non-competitive award to a single recipient based on unique qualifications.
