Opportunity Information: Apply for P19AS00115
The Traditional Trades Apprenticeship Program (Funding Opportunity Number P19AS00115) is a National Park Service notice stating its intent to make an award rather than an open call for proposals. In other words, it is not a competitive grant opportunity where the public is invited to apply. Instead, the National Park Service (NPS), within the Department of the Interior, is announcing that it plans to issue a task agreement under an existing cooperative agreement (CA#P15AC00015) with American Conservation Experience.
The notice identifies the funding instrument as a Cooperative Agreement and places the opportunity in an "Other" activity category, indicating the work does not fit neatly into standard program categories and is clarified in the agency's internal description. The announcement is tied to CFDA 15.931, which corresponds to National Park Service-related assistance. Key administrative details include an announcement creation date of April 25, 2019, and an original closing date of May 5, 2019, which in this context functions more as a posting window for the public notice rather than a deadline for applicant submissions.
In terms of scale and structure, the notice lists an expected number of awards of one and an award ceiling of 1, reflecting that NPS anticipates issuing a single task agreement under the referenced cooperative agreement. Eligibility is listed generally as "Others," but since the announcement is explicitly not requesting applications and specifies the intended recipient (American Conservation Experience), there is no meaningful open eligibility for outside organizations for this particular notice. The practical takeaway is that the agency is documenting transparency and compliance by publicly announcing its intent to fund a specific partner for work associated with traditional trades apprenticeship activities, rather than soliciting new applicants.Apply for P19AS00115

6) What does it mean that NPS will issue a "task agreement" under an existing cooperative agreement?
It means the agency is not creating a brand-new, open competition. Instead, NPS is using an already-established cooperative agreement (CA#P15AC00015) and plans to add or fund a specific scope of work through a task agreement under that existing arrangement.
7) What does the activity category "Other" mean in this notice?
The notice places the opportunity in an "Other" activity category, indicating the work does not fit neatly into standard program categories. The notice also implies the specifics are clarified within the agency's internal description of the work associated with the task agreement.

12) What does the listed "closing date" mean if no applications are being accepted?
The original closing date (May 5, 2019) functions as the public posting window for the notice rather than a deadline for submitting applications. Because this is an intent-to-award notice, it is not serving as an applicant submission cutoff.
13) What is the announcement creation date?
The announcement creation date listed is April 25, 2019.
14) The notice says eligibility is "Others." Does that mean my organization is eligible?
Not for this particular notice. While eligibility is listed generally as "Others," the notice also states it is not requesting applications and identifies the intended recipient. As a result, there is no meaningful open eligibility for outside organizations under this posting.
15) Why does NPS publish a notice like this if it is not seeking applications?
Based on the information provided, the practical purpose is transparency and compliance: NPS is publicly documenting its intent to fund a specific partner (American Conservation Experience) for traditional trades apprenticeship-related work, rather than soliciting new applicants through an open competition.
16) Does this notice imply there may be future competitive opportunities for traditional trades apprenticeships?
The information provided does not state whether future competitive opportunities will be announced. It only describes this specific intent-to-award action tied to an existing cooperative agreement.
17) What is the key takeaway for organizations searching for grants to apply for?
The key takeaway is that P19AS00115 is not an application-based opportunity. It is an intent-to-award notice for a single task agreement under an existing cooperative agreement with a named partner, so outside organizations should not expect to apply under this specific posting.
