Opportunity Summary:
This notice is a formal announcement from the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service (NPS), stating its intent to make an award for a specific project tied to the Santa Fe Trail in Kansas. The opportunity is titled "NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD - Historic Buildings/Structures Survey and Condition Assessment associated with the Santa Fe Trail in Kansas" and is listed under funding opportunity number NPSNOINTIR1601204. It falls under the discretionary funding category and uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, meaning the work is carried out with an eligible partner under an agreement structure where the federal agency typically has substantial involvement in the project.
The key point of the announcement is that it is not a request for applications and is not an open competition. Instead, it is issued to satisfy federal policy requirements (specifically referenced as 505 DM 2.12) by publicly documenting that the NPS plans to issue a non-competitive task agreement under an existing cooperative agreement. The intended recipient is the Kansas State Historical Society, which is identified as the partner that will perform the work. Because the award is non-competitive and tied to an already-established cooperative agreement, other organizations are not being invited to apply, and the "eligible applicants" field is effectively a formality in this context.
The project itself is focused on cultural resource documentation and preservation planning along the Santa Fe Trail corridor in Kansas. The planned scope is to complete a historic buildings and structures survey along with a condition assessment. In practical terms, this typically involves identifying and documenting historic built resources associated with the trail (such as structures, ruins, or related historic sites), recording their characteristics, and evaluating their current physical condition. A condition assessment generally supports future preservation, stabilization, maintenance planning, and prioritization by establishing a baseline understanding of threats, deterioration, and immediate or long-term needs. The announcement does not provide technical methodologies or deliverable formats, but the emphasis is clearly on systematic documentation and evaluation of the existing historic resources tied to the Santa Fe Trail in Kansas.
Administrative details in the listing reinforce that this is a single planned award. The opportunity shows an expected number of awards of 1, consistent with the intent to fund only the Kansas State Historical Society through a task agreement. The award ceiling is listed as 0, which usually indicates that a specific maximum dollar amount is not being stated in the public notice, rather than implying there is no funding. The CFDA number associated with the program is 15.935, which corresponds to a National Park Service assistance program category used for certain NPS partnership and support activities.
The notice was created on August 2, 2016, and shows an original closing date of August 12, 2016. Since this is not an application-based solicitation, that "closing date" functions more like the end of the public notice period rather than a deadline for submitting proposals. Overall, the announcement serves as a transparency and compliance measure: it tells the public that the NPS intends to proceed with a non-competitive award to a specific state historical partner to carry out a survey and condition assessment of historic buildings and structures associated with the Santa Fe Trail in Kansas.
