Opportunity Summary:
The Trail Maintenance opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPSNOIGLAC1600635) is a National Park Service (DOI-NPS) discretionary funding notice tied to natural resource-related work, listed under CFDA 15.931. It is presented as a cooperative agreement and is specifically labeled as a "Notice of Intent to Award," which means the agency is not soliciting proposals or accepting applications from the public under this announcement. Instead, the purpose of the posting is to formally document and publicize the National Park Service's plan to issue a single, non-competitive task agreement.
Because it is not a request for applications, there is no open competition period in the usual sense, even though the notice includes a closing date of May 17, 2016 (with the original and current closing dates the same). The expected number of awards is listed as 1, reinforcing that the agency already anticipates making one award to a specific recipient rather than evaluating multiple applicants. The listed award ceiling is 0, which typically indicates that the public synopsis does not state a maximum dollar amount (or that funding details are handled within internal documents for the intended agreement), rather than implying that no funds will be provided.
The eligibility field indicates that the intended recipient category is a nonprofit organization with IRS 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. In practice, however, eligibility information here should be read in the context of the non-competitive nature of the action: even if an organization meets the stated eligibility type, it would not be able to apply through this announcement because the posting is informational only and serves as a transparency measure for a planned direct award.
Key dates show the opportunity was created and posted on May 3, 2016, with the public notice period running through May 17, 2016. Overall, this listing functions as an administrative public notice that the National Park Service intends to proceed with a sole-source cooperative agreement task arrangement for trail maintenance-related activities, rather than an open grant competition.
