Opportunity Summary:
This opportunity is a National Park Service (NPS) Notice of Intent to Award rather than an open, competitive grant solicitation. It signals the agency's plan to issue a task agreement under an existing cooperative agreement specifically with the Oregon-California Trails Association (OCTA). The purpose of the task agreement is to support work that identifies, preserves, interprets, and improves public accessibility to the historic Oregon and California Trails and their related features and landmarks. The broader goal is long-term protection and preservation of these trail resources while also increasing public awareness, understanding, and appreciation of their historic significance.
The funding opportunity number is NPSNOINTIR1400880, and it falls under the discretionary category using a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument. The activity category is Natural Resources, and the related CFDA (now commonly referenced as Assistance Listing) number is 15.935, National Trails System Projects. The listing indicates an expected number of awards of one, which aligns with the "intent to award" format and the named recipient approach. The estimated total funding amount is $154,090. The notice lists an award ceiling and floor of $0, which typically reflects that the formal dollar limits are not being set through a competitive range in this posting, even though an estimated total funding amount is provided.
Eligibility is effectively limited to the identified partner because the notice states the award will be made to OCTA under an existing cooperative agreement. The posting uses the general eligibility label "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," but the clarification text makes clear that the agency is not seeking applications from the general public or a broad field of applicants. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement indicated for this task agreement.
Key dates in the announcement show it was posted and created on June 13, 2014, with an original and current closing date of June 23, 2014, and an archive date of June 24, 2014. In notices like this, the "closing date" often functions more like the end of a public notice period rather than a deadline for applicants to submit proposals, since the award is tied to an existing agreement and a specific intended recipient.
For additional details or assistance accessing the full announcement, the notice provides a point of contact: Trish Fresquez Hernandez, Contract Specialist, reachable by phone at 505-988-6122, associated with the National Park Service.
