Opportunity Information: Apply for NPS 17 NERO 0036
The grant notice titled "NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD - PLC Install Vault Toilet at Thayer-Dent Parking Lot" (Funding Opportunity Number: NPS 17 NERO 0036) is a public notification issued by the Department of the Interior, National Park Service (NPS). It is categorized as a discretionary funding opportunity and uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument. The notice was created on April 18, 2017, with an original closing date of April 27, 2017, and it indicates an anticipated single award with a funding ceiling of $46,000.
What matters most about this posting is that it is explicitly not an open solicitation. In other words, NPS is not asking the public to submit new applications or proposals in response to this announcement. Instead, the agency is providing formal public notice that it intends to make an award through a task agreement under an existing master cooperative agreement. That master cooperative agreement has already been competed previously, or it has been supported by a single-source justification, meaning NPS has already established the eligible partner(s) and the mechanism under which the work will be assigned. Notices like this are commonly used to meet transparency requirements and to document that the agency intends to proceed with a specific award approach rather than conduct a new competition.
The project itself is described as "PLC Install Vault Toilet at Thayer-Dent Parking Lot." While the notice does not provide detailed technical scope, the title strongly indicates a facilities or site-improvement effort involving installation of a vault toilet at the Thayer-Dent parking lot area, likely within a park unit or a site managed by NPS. A vault toilet installation typically involves procurement and placement of a prefabricated restroom structure and associated vault system, site preparation, potential utility considerations (even if not plumbed, there may be ventilation, accessibility, or site drainage requirements), and compliance with applicable safety and accessibility standards. The "PLC" reference in the title may relate to a specific park location, internal project naming, or an implementation partner, but the notice does not define it further.
Even though the activity is connected to a built-environment improvement, the notice lists the Funding Activity Category as "Employment, Labor and Training" and includes CFDA number 15.931, which is associated with NPS programs that frequently involve youth, conservation corps, and training-focused partners working on hands-on projects. This categorization often appears when projects are executed through cooperative agreements with organizations that provide work-based learning, job training, or supervised crews to complete conservation and facility projects. That said, the posting itself does not elaborate on workforce components; it simply provides the administrative classification and the intent to award through an existing agreement.
Eligibility is broadly labeled as "Others," with a note to see an additional eligibility clarification field, but the key practical takeaway is that this notice is not meant to generate applicants. Because the award will be made under a previously established cooperative agreement vehicle, only the parties already covered by that master cooperative agreement (or otherwise justified for single-source award) would be in line to receive the task agreement. The notice also states there is expected to be one award, reinforcing that this is a targeted, pre-identified award action rather than a competitive, multi-recipient funding round.
In summary, this announcement is essentially an administrative transparency posting: NPS is signaling its intention to issue one cooperative agreement task award, up to $46,000, for work associated with installing a vault toilet at the Thayer-Dent parking lot, using an already-competed or otherwise justified master cooperative agreement. It is not an invitation to apply, and it does not provide a full scope of work beyond the project title and award intent language.Apply for NPS 17 NERO 0036
