The Last Green Valley National Heritage Corridor | NPS 17 NERO 0195

Opportunity Information: Apply for NPS 17 NERO 0195

The funding opportunity titled "The Last Green Valley National Heritage Corridor" (Funding Opportunity Number: NPS 17 NERO 0195) is a National Park Service notice published by 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 activity area identified as regional development. The CFDA (now commonly referred to as Assistance Listing) number associated with it is 15.939, which generally corresponds to National Park Service-related financial assistance programs.

The key point of this announcement is that it is not an open call for proposals and not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as a public notice that the National Park Service intends to make an award through a task agreement under an existing master cooperative agreement. In plain terms, the competition for this work has either already happened (previously competed) or the agency has documented justification to use a single-source approach, meaning they plan to fund a specific partner rather than solicit new applications from the public. Because of that, this posting functions more like an informational notice about an intended award than an opportunity where new applicants can submit materials to compete.

The notice indicates an expected single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an award ceiling of $666,000, suggesting the maximum anticipated federal funding amount for the task agreement under the cooperative agreement structure. Cooperative agreements typically imply substantial involvement by the federal agency in the funded work, such as collaboration, coordination, or technical participation by NPS during the period of performance, although the specific roles and deliverables are not detailed in the brief description provided here.

Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with an instruction to consult the additional eligibility information in the full announcement for clarification. However, given the stated intent to award under an already-established master cooperative agreement, eligibility in practice is usually limited to the organization(s) that are party to that master agreement, rather than any new, external applicants.

In terms of timing, the opportunity record shows a creation date of September 1, 2017 and an original closing date of September 10, 2017. For notices like this, the "closing date" generally reflects the end of the public notice period rather than a deadline to submit an application, since applications are not being accepted through this posting.
