Opportunity Summary:

This funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPSNOIPWR8350100017) is a National Park Service discretionary notice of intent to award a 5-year cooperative agreement focused on education and public interpretation. The purpose is to collaboratively develop and design interpretive publications that deepen public understanding of the Juan Bautista de Anza National Historic Trail and encourage long-term stewardship of the trail and its legacy. In practical terms, the work centers on creating materials that help audiences learn about the trail's history, significance, and continuing relevance, with an emphasis on interpretation that supports preservation-minded engagement.

The National Park Service indicates that the intended recipient is the Western National Parks Association (WNPA), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Because it is a "Notice of Intent to Award," it signals the agency's plan to make an award to this specific organization rather than running a broad, open competition among many applicants. Eligible applicants are described generally as nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), but the core message of the announcement is that the NPS intends to proceed with WNPA as the collaborating partner for this effort.

The award uses a cooperative agreement funding instrument, which typically means the federal agency expects substantial involvement during the project rather than simply issuing funds and receiving a final product. The publication development and design would therefore likely be coordinated closely with NPS staff to ensure accuracy, alignment with NPS interpretive standards, and consistency with the trail's educational and stewardship goals. The announcement does not list a cost-sharing or matching requirement, so no non-federal match is required as a condition of the award.

In terms of funding details, the listed award ceiling is $100,000 and the award floor is $0. Key dates show the opportunity was posted and created on July 23, 2010, with an original and current closing date of July 26, 2010, and an archive date of August 25, 2010. The very short window between posting and closing is consistent with a notice-of-intent style posting tied to a specific planned recipient rather than an extended competitive solicitation.

For questions or issues accessing the full announcement, the contact listed is Lilette Baltodano, Contract Specialist, at (510) 817-1338.
