Opportunity Summary:
This opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPSNOINTIR1400878) is a National Park Service notice stating its intent to make a single award through a task agreement under an existing cooperative agreement with the National Pony Express Association. In plain terms, it is not a broad, open competition for new applicants; it is an announcement that the agency plans to fund a specific partner to carry out work tied to the Pony Express National Historic Trail.
The purpose of the planned award is to support on-the-ground and public-facing efforts that help identify, protect, preserve, interpret, and improve access to the historic trail and the features connected to it, such as associated landmarks and related historic resources. The overall goal is both resource stewardship (making sure the trail corridor and its significant features are maintained and protected) and public benefit (improving the public's ability to find, understand, visit, and appreciate the Pony Express National Historic Trail).
From an administrative standpoint, the funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically means the National Park Service expects to have substantial involvement in the project during performance, rather than simply issuing a grant and stepping back. The activity category is listed under Natural Resources, and the relevant CFDA program is 15.935, National Trails System Projects, which supports work connected to congressionally designated national scenic and historic trails and their associated resources.
The announcement indicates there is expected to be one award with an estimated total funding amount of $82,000. Both the award ceiling and floor are listed as $0, which usually reflects how the notice is recorded in the system rather than suggesting the project has no value; the estimated total funding figure is the meaningful number to focus on. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated for this action.
Timing details show the notice was posted and created on June 11, 2014, with an original and current closing date of June 21, 2014, and an archive date of June 23, 2014. Because this is a notice of intent tied to an existing cooperative agreement, the "closing date" functions more as a public posting period than a typical deadline for competitive submissions.
Eligibility is labeled broadly as "Others," but the body text clarifies that the intended recipient is the National Pony Express Association under an existing cooperative agreement. Anyone seeking clarification or who has trouble accessing the full announcement is directed to the listed contact: Trish Fresquez Hernandez, Contract Specialist, at 505-988-6122.
