Opportunity Information: Apply for P18AS00436
The National Park Service (NPS), within the Department of the Interior, issued a public notice titled "Challenge Cost Share - 50th Anniversary of Rivers & Trails" under funding opportunity number P18AS00436. This posting is categorized as an "Other" opportunity and uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, indicating that the work is expected to involve substantial involvement by the federal agency rather than functioning like a standard grant where the recipient operates more independently. The associated CFDA number is 15.943, which identifies the broader federal assistance program area tied to this announcement.
Despite being listed as a funding opportunity, the notice explicitly states that it is not a request for applications. In practical terms, this means the NPS was not soliciting proposals from the public and there was no open competition for interested organizations to submit applications. Instead, the purpose of the announcement was to provide transparency and public documentation of the agency's intent to make an award through an existing agreement vehicle. Specifically, NPS indicated its intention to award a task agreement under the existing cooperative agreement number P14AC01267 with The Outdoor Foundation. This kind of notice is commonly used when an agency is adding a task or scope of work under a pre-established partnership and is posting the information to meet public notice expectations.
The opportunity is framed around the 50th anniversary of Rivers & Trails, which suggests the task agreement would support outreach, programming, communications, events, or related partnership activities connected to that anniversary theme. The announcement lists an award ceiling of 1 (as stated in the source data) and an expectation of one award, reinforcing that the planned action was a single, specific task agreement rather than a broader funding competition with multiple recipients.
Key administrative details include the creation date of July 16, 2018, and an original closing date of July 26, 2018. In this context, the closing date functions more like the end of the public notice period rather than a deadline for submitting applications, since applications were not being accepted. Eligibility is labeled broadly as "Others," but because the notice identifies The Outdoor Foundation as the intended recipient under an existing agreement, the eligibility field does not signal an open invitation for other entities to apply.
Overall, the posting is best understood as a formal public notice that NPS planned to direct a cooperative agreement task award to The Outdoor Foundation for work tied to the Rivers & Trails 50th anniversary, with one anticipated award and no competitive application process.Apply for P18AS00436
