Opportunity Information: Apply for P18AS00005
Improving Landscape and Wildlife Viewing Opportunities through Vegetation Management (Funding Opportunity Number P18AS00005) is a National Park Service (NPS) Notice of Intent issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior. The key point is that this posting is not a solicitation and not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as a public notification that NPS intends to support specific project activities through a cooperative agreement and to do so without full and open competition. In practical terms, it signals an intent to make a direct award (or otherwise limited-competition award) rather than inviting multiple applicants to submit proposals in response to this particular announcement.
The project focus, as stated by the title, is vegetation management aimed at improving landscapes and enhancing wildlife viewing opportunities. While the notice references an attached supporting document for the full scope and details, the stated purpose suggests activities like managing or restoring vegetation to maintain or improve sightlines, habitat conditions, and visitor experience related to observing wildlife. Because the instrument type is a cooperative agreement, the NPS would typically expect substantial involvement in the project, such as collaboration on planning, execution, oversight, reporting, or technical guidance, rather than a more hands-off relationship associated with a standard grant.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is categorized as discretionary and linked to CFDA (Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance) number 15.954. The funding activity category is listed as Employment, Labor and Training, which is an administrative classification used in federal listings and may reflect workforce-related components, partner engagement, or project labor elements that can accompany field-based vegetation management work. The eligible applicant type identified is a nonprofit organization with IRS 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. That eligibility statement indicates the type of organization the NPS intends to work with (or considers appropriate for the intended award), consistent with the notice being a pre-announcement rather than an open call.
Funding and award expectations are relatively specific. The announcement lists an award ceiling of $95,121 and anticipates a single award. That combination strongly suggests a defined, bounded project with a set budget rather than a broad program intended to fund multiple recipients. The opportunity was created on October 23, 2017, with an original closing date of November 3, 2017. In the context of a Notice of Intent, that closing date typically functions more as an administrative window for public notice or related procedural steps, rather than a deadline for submitting applications, since the announcement explicitly states it is not accepting proposals as an open competition.
Overall, this posting functions mainly as a transparency measure: it informs the public that the National Park Service plans to fund a particular vegetation management effort designed to improve visitor landscape experiences and wildlife viewing, and that it intends to do so through a cooperative agreement without full and open competition. Anyone seeking the full project description, partner role, and justification for the noncompetitive approach would need to consult the attached supporting document referenced in the notice, as that is where federal Notices of Intent typically provide the detailed rationale, scope of work, expected partner contributions, and other compliance-related information.Apply for P18AS00005
