Opportunity Information: Apply for NPSNOIGRCA1700310
The "Grand Canyon Corridor/Greenway Trail Rehabilitation" opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPSNOIGRCA1700310) is a discretionary funding notice issued by the Department of the Interior, National Park Service (NPS). The activity area is categorized under Natural Resources, and it is associated with CFDA number 15.931. The posting date for the notice is March 30, 2017, with an original closing date of April 9, 2017, although the key point of the announcement is that it is not a solicitation and therefore is not seeking proposals from the public.
This notice is explicitly labeled as a "Notice of Intent to Award," meaning it is meant to inform the public that NPS plans to make an award rather than invite competition. The instrument type identified is a Cooperative Agreement, and the announcement states that NPS intends to issue a non-competitive task agreement. In practical terms, this indicates the agency already selected a partner and is moving forward under an assistance agreement structure where substantial involvement from the federal agency may be expected during project execution, which is typical for cooperative agreements.
The intended recipient named in the notice is American Conservation Experience (ACE). Because the award is described as non-competitive, other organizations are not being invited to apply, even though the eligibility field lists nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education) as eligible applicants in general. The "Expected Awards" field is listed as 1, aligning with the intent to make a single award to the named organization.
The award ceiling is shown as 0, which often reflects that the public notice does not specify a maximum funding amount in the posting or that the amount is determined within internal documentation rather than the public-facing synopsis. The title indicates the project concerns rehabilitation work on the Grand Canyon Corridor/Greenway Trail, which falls under natural resource stewardship and likely includes trail restoration, maintenance, and related conservation fieldwork, though the notice itself does not provide specific scopes, deliverables, or budget details beyond the intent to award.
Overall, this announcement functions primarily as a transparency measure: it gives public notice that the National Park Service plans to proceed with a non-competitive cooperative agreement task arrangement with American Conservation Experience for trail rehabilitation work associated with the Grand Canyon corridor/greenway context, and it is not an open grant competition.Apply for NPSNOIGRCA1700310
