Opportunity Information: Apply for NPSNOIGRCA170313
The "Grand Canyon Corridor/Greenway Trail Maintenance" opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPSNOIGRCA170313) is a National Park Service (NPS) notice issued under the U.S. Department of the Interior. It falls under the discretionary funding category and uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, with the work aligned to the Natural Resources activity area. The listing references CFDA 15.931, which is associated with National Park Service assistance programs.
This announcement is explicitly labeled as a "Notice of Intent to Award," meaning it is not an open solicitation and not a request for applications. In practical terms, the NPS is publishing this notice to satisfy public transparency requirements and to document that it plans to make a single, non-competitive task agreement award rather than run a competitive application process. Because it is non-competitive, the intent is typically to work with a pre-identified partner or an organization selected through prior justification mechanisms, and outside parties should not expect an opportunity to submit proposals in response to this posting.
Eligibility, as stated in the source data, is limited to nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). The notice indicates an expected number of awards of one, reinforcing that this is a single-partner action rather than a broader grant competition. The award ceiling is shown as 0, which often indicates the amount is either not provided in the public synopsis, is to be determined within the task agreement, or is recorded in a way that does not reflect a conventional maximum dollar cap for this notice entry.
The posting was created on March 30, 2017, with an original closing date of April 9, 2017. For notices of intent, the "closing date" functions more like an administrative posting period or a window for public notice rather than a deadline to submit applications, since the agency is not seeking proposals. Overall, this opportunity is best understood as a formal public notification that the National Park Service planned to proceed with a specific cooperative agreement task related to trail maintenance work associated with the Grand Canyon corridor/greenway, rather than an invitation for organizations to apply for funding.Apply for NPSNOIGRCA170313
