Opportunity Information: Apply for NPSNOIROMO1700985
The National Park Service (NPS) posted a Notice of Intent to Award for a project titled "Maintenance and resource protection on Section 3 of the South Tonahutu Trail, Rocky Mountain NP" (Funding Opportunity Number NPSNOIROMO1700985). This notice is informational only and is explicitly not a request for applications, meaning outside organizations are not being invited to apply or compete for this funding. The announcement was issued under the Department of the Interior policy referenced as 505 DM 2.12, which is used when the agency needs to publicly document its intent to make a non-competitive award.
The planned award is a cooperative agreement within the Natural Resources funding activity area (CFDA 15.931). Rather than opening a competition, NPS intends to issue a non-competitive task agreement under an existing cooperative agreement to The Corps Network, specifically involving the Rocky Mountain Youth Corps. The core purpose is two-fold: to address deferred maintenance and resource protection needs on Section 3 of the South Tonahutu Trail in Rocky Mountain National Park, and to provide structured educational and work opportunities for young people through a corps-based program. In practice, this type of arrangement generally supports supervised youth crews doing hands-on trail work that improves visitor access and safety while also reducing impacts to surrounding natural resources.
Key administrative details in the notice include an original closing date of 2017-07-15 and a creation date of 2017-07-05. The listing shows "Eligible Applicants: Others," but in this case that field does not function as an open eligibility invitation because the notice is tied to a pre-identified partner and a non-competitive action. The award ceiling is listed as 0 and the expected number of awards is not specified in the data provided, which often occurs in notices that are primarily meant to disclose intent rather than provide full application and budget instructions. Overall, the posting serves as public documentation that NPS plans to fund trail maintenance and resource protection work on a specific segment of the South Tonahutu Trail through an established partnership with a youth corps organization, without soliciting new proposals.Apply for NPSNOIROMO1700985
