Opportunity Summary:
The opportunity titled "Trail maintenance and rehab" (Funding Opportunity Number NPSNOICHIR1600052) is a discretionary funding action from the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service (DOI-NPS), listed under the Natural Resources activity category and associated with CFDA 15.931. The announcement was posted on December 3, 2015, created the same day, and shows a closing date of December 17, 2015. It anticipates a single award and uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, which typically means the National Park Service expects to have substantial involvement in carrying out the project work rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back.
This notice is explicitly labeled a "Notice of Intent to Award" and is not a request for applications. In practical terms, that means the National Park Service is not soliciting proposals through an open competition. Instead, the agency is publishing the notice to meet public transparency requirements while it proceeds with a non-competitive task agreement to a predetermined partner. Because it is non-competitive, interested organizations should not expect an application process, a review panel, or an opportunity to submit competing proposals under this specific posting.
The eligible applicant category shown is limited to nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). While that indicates the type of organization intended to receive the award, it does not function as an invitation for other nonprofits to apply in this instance, since the agency is announcing its intent to make a direct award. The award ceiling is listed as 0, which usually signals that the funding amount is either determined elsewhere (for example, in an associated task agreement or internal budget document) or simply not provided in the public synopsis.
Overall, this posting serves as a public notification that the National Park Service planned to issue one cooperative agreement related to trail maintenance and rehabilitation work, without running a competitive grant competition. Organizations looking for similar trail or natural resource opportunities would need to monitor other NPS or DOI postings that are explicitly marked as competitive solicitations or requests for applications, since this specific notice is informational rather than an open funding opportunity.
