Coastal Rare Plant Habitat Expansion, Kalaupapa National Historical Park | P17AS00791

Opportunity Information: Apply for P17AS00791

The Coastal Rare Plant Habitat Expansion, Kalaupapa National Historical Park opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P17AS00791) is a National Park Service notice explaining its intent to make a specific award, rather than an open solicitation inviting new applications. In other words, it functions as a public transparency announcement: the agency is stating ahead of time that it plans to issue a task agreement for a defined project under an existing cooperative framework that has already been competed or otherwise justified as a single-source arrangement.

This planned award would be made by the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service, using a Cooperative Agreement funding instrument. The effort is associated with CFDA 15.931 and is categorized under activity areas that include education, employment, labor and training, and natural resources. The project identified in the notice is titled Coastal Rare Plant Habitat Expansion, Kalaupapa National Historical Park, indicating the work is focused on expanding or improving habitat for rare coastal plant species within Kalaupapa National Historical Park. While the announcement does not provide technical project details such as methods, timelines, or performance measures, the title and context strongly suggest on-the-ground conservation and habitat enhancement activities that may also incorporate workforce or service components consistent with the listed activity categories.

The notice specifies the intended legal and administrative pathway for the award: Task Agreement P17AC01635 issued under Cooperative Agreement P15AC00049, with the partner organization KUPU. KUPU is named as the recipient under this pre-existing master cooperative agreement structure, which is commonly used by the National Park Service to carry out project work collaboratively with established partners. The announcement anticipates a single award (Expected Awards: 1), with an award ceiling of $80,917, which represents the maximum federal funding amount contemplated for this specific task agreement.

Eligibility information is included for context and classification, listing nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education) as eligible applicants. However, that eligibility statement should not be read as an invitation to apply here, because the announcement explicitly states there is no application process and no closing date for submissions. The creation date of the notice is September 7, 2017, and the original closing date field reiterates that this is not a request for applications. Overall, the key takeaway is that the National Park Service is providing public notice that it intends to fund one discrete cooperative task with KUPU, up to $80,917, to support rare coastal plant habitat expansion work at Kalaupapa National Historical Park.
