Opportunity Summary:

The Historic Trail and Road Archaeological Survey and Analysis opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPSNOINTIR1501676) is a National Park Service (NPS) notice stating the agency's intent to make an award, not an open call for proposals. In practical terms, this means the announcement is purely a public notification and is not inviting new applications from other organizations or the general public. The NPS issued it under the federal policy reference 505 DM 2.12, which is commonly used to document and justify certain non-competitive financial assistance actions and to ensure transparency by informing the public that the agency plans to proceed with a specific award.

The planned award is structured as a non-competitive task agreement issued under an already existing cooperative agreement, with Isleta Pueblo identified as the intended recipient. The purpose of the work is to complete an archaeological survey and analysis focused on a historic trail and road. The funding is tied to the National Historic Trails context, as reflected in the listing under the National Trails System Projects program (CFDA 15.935). The announcement anticipates a single award (Expected Awards: 1), reinforcing that this is a targeted, pre-identified project rather than a competitive grant round.

Financially, the notice lists an estimated total funding amount of $25,000, with no cost-sharing or matching requirement. The award ceiling and floor are both shown as $0, which is a common artifact in notices of intent and some federal postings where the final obligated amount may be documented elsewhere or where the posting format requires a value even when the figure is handled through an existing agreement mechanism. The funding instrument type is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates that NPS expects to have substantial involvement during the project, such as coordinating methods, deliverables, reporting, or compliance steps, rather than simply issuing funds with minimal federal interaction.

In terms of timing and administrative details, the notice was posted and created on August 27, 2015, with an original and current closing date of September 6, 2015, and it was archived on October 6, 2015. The "closing date" in this context should not be read as a deadline to apply, since the announcement explicitly says it is not a request for applications; instead, it functions more like the end of the public notice period associated with the intent to award.

For questions or issues accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact is Trish Fresquez Hernandez, Contract Specialist, reachable by phone at 505-988-6122. The sponsoring agency is the National Park Service.
