Opportunity Summary:

This funding notice is a National Park Service (NPS) Notice of Intent to Award connected to work on the Old Spanish National Historic Trail. Rather than being a broad, open competition, it signals the agency's plan to issue a task agreement under an already-existing cooperative agreement, specifically with the Old Spanish Trail Association. The purpose of the planned award is to support activities that study the trail, preserve and protect its resources, interpret its history for the public, and promote awareness of the trail and its significance.

The opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number NPSNOINTIR1400877 and is categorized as a discretionary cooperative agreement within the Natural Resources funding activity area. The associated CFDA program is 15.935, National Trails System Projects, which typically covers projects that help identify, conserve, and interpret congressionally designated trails and related resources. The notice indicates there is expected to be one award, reinforcing that this is a targeted action tied to an established partner relationship rather than a solicitation seeking multiple applicants.

In terms of funding, the announcement provides an estimated total funding amount of $91,500. It lists an award ceiling and award floor of $0, which is common in notices that are not structured as competitive grant announcements with set minimums and maximums, and it generally means the specific award amount and structure are handled within the task agreement executed under the existing cooperative agreement. The notice also states there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is not expected to contribute a mandatory non-federal match as a condition of receiving these federal funds.

Eligibility is effectively limited by design. While the system field for eligible applicants shows "Others," the accompanying eligibility information clarifies that the intended recipient is the Old Spanish Trail Association through an existing cooperative agreement mechanism. This type of notice is often used when an agency needs to document transparency about an intended award action, especially when the work is being issued as a follow-on task to a current agreement and when there is a clear programmatic reason to continue or assign work to a specific partner.

The key dates provided show the notice was posted and created on June 11, 2014, with an original and current closing date of June 21, 2014. The archive date is June 22, 2014, indicating the public posting window was short and consistent with a notice of intent format rather than a full application cycle. For assistance accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact is Trish Fresquez Hernandez, Contract Specialist, reachable by phone at 505-988-6122, associated with NPS.
