Opportunity Summary:

This federal grant notice describes the National Park Service's intent to make a single discretionary award, in the form of a task agreement under an existing cooperative agreement, to the Kansas State Historical Society. The work focuses on preparing as many as 15 National Register of Historic Places nominations for historic properties in Kansas that are associated with three nationally significant travel corridors: the Oregon National Historic Trail, the California National Historic Trail, and the Pony Express National Historic Trail. In addition to writing the nominations themselves, the scope explicitly includes administrative coordination and review support so the nomination packages can move through the National Register process in an organized and compliant way.

The opportunity is identified as Funding Opportunity Number NPSNOINTIR107022 and falls under the funding activity category of Natural Resources, with the CFDA program number 15.935 (National Trails System Projects). The National Park Service is the issuing agency. The notice makes clear this is not a broadly competed solicitation; it is a notice of intent to award specifically to the Kansas State Historical Society, described as a task agreement against an already-established cooperative agreement. The "Eligible Applicants" field effectively points back to this intent language, signaling that the project is directed to the named partner rather than open to general applicants.

Financially, the notice lists an estimated total funding amount of $52,250, with no cost sharing or matching requirement. The award ceiling and floor are shown as $0, which is typical of some archived notices or intent-to-award postings where the detailed ceiling/floor fields are not populated even though an estimated total is provided elsewhere. Only one award is expected.

The timeline shown in the record is very short: it was posted and created on July 21, 2010, with an original and current closing date of July 23, 2010, and an archive date of July 24, 2010. This compressed window aligns with the fact that it is a notice of intent to award under an existing cooperative agreement rather than a standard open competition requiring a long application period.

For administrative questions or help accessing the full announcement, the listed contact is Trish Fresquez Hernandez, Contract Specialist, at (505) 988-6122.
