Opportunity Information: Apply for P18AS00582
The grant opportunity titled "Support Safety and Risk Management at Pacific West Region Parks" is a National Park Service (NPS) Notice of Intent to Award issued by the United States Department of the Interior. Even though it appears in the format of a funding opportunity announcement, it is explicitly not a request for applications and is not open for competitive proposals. Instead, it functions as a public transparency notice that NPS plans to make an award under an existing, previously competed agreement mechanism.
In practical terms, NPS is indicating its intention to issue a specific task agreement, identified as Task Agreement P18AC01245, under a broader master cooperative agreement, identified as Cooperative Agreement P15AC00024. The named partner tied to that master agreement is Conservation Legacy. This means the competitive selection already occurred at the master agreement level, and the government is now moving forward with a defined scope of work through a task agreement rather than seeking new applicants.
The opportunity is categorized as discretionary and uses a cooperative agreement funding instrument, which generally indicates that NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project’s direction, coordination, or execution compared to a standard grant. The funding activity category is Natural Resources, and the CFDA number listed is 15.931, which corresponds to National Park Service-related assistance programs. The total funding referenced includes an award ceiling of $80,000, with an expectation of one award, reinforcing that the action is intended for a single, specific partner rather than multiple recipients.
Eligibility fields list nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education) and "Others" as potentially eligible categories, but that language is largely academic in this particular posting because the announcement is not soliciting applications. The key operational point is that the award is planned as a task agreement issued to Conservation Legacy under the existing master cooperative agreement framework.
The purpose of the project, as reflected in the title, is to support safety and risk management at parks in the NPS Pacific West Region. While the notice does not provide detailed work elements, the title indicates the agreement’s focus is on improving or reinforcing safety-related capacity and risk management support within that regional park network. The posting’s creation date is August 23, 2018, and the "closing date" is effectively not applicable because there is no application window.Apply for P18AS00582
