Opportunity Information: Apply for P18AS00623
Ku No Ka Pono o Haleakala (Funding Opportunity Number P18AS00623) is a National Park Service notice of intent to award a single cooperative agreement task under an existing, previously competed master cooperative agreement. It is issued by the United States Department of the Interior, National Park Service, and it sits in the discretionary funding category with an activity focus on natural resources (CFDA 15.931). The key point is that this announcement is not a request for applications and does not open a competition or accept proposals. Instead, it serves as a public transparency notice that the NPS intends to move forward with a specific award action.
The NPS is planning to issue Task Agreement P18AC01309 under Master Cooperative Agreement P15AC00024, and the intended recipient/partner is Kupu. In other words, the competitive selection for the overarching cooperative agreement framework has already occurred in the past, and this action is a task-level award made within that established agreement structure. The project title associated with this task is "Ku No Ka Pono o Haleakala," and the posting is essentially informing the public that the agency intends to fund and implement the project through that pre-existing partnership mechanism rather than soliciting new applicants.
From a funding perspective, the notice lists an award ceiling of $72,866 and anticipates one award. The instrument type is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates that the NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the funded work (for example, coordination, technical input, or shared responsibilities) compared with a standard grant. Eligibility is broadly labeled as "Others," with a note to consult the additional eligibility language in the full opportunity text for clarification, but functionally this specific notice is tied to the named partner and the existing master agreement, so it is not an open opportunity for outside organizations to apply.
The announcement was created on August 31, 2018, and there is no application deadline because the posting is explicitly not a solicitation. Overall, this opportunity is best understood as an administrative and public notice step that documents NPS intent to fund a defined natural-resources project at Haleakala through a task agreement with Kupu under an already-competed cooperative agreement framework, with a planned total funding amount up to $72,866 and a single expected award.Apply for P18AS00623
