Opportunity Summary:
This opportunity is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding notice tied to the National Trails System Projects program (CFDA 15.935). It is not a broad, open competition. Instead, it is a Notice of Intent to make a single award by issuing a task agreement under an existing cooperative agreement with a specific organization: the Oregon-California Trails Association (OCTA). The stated purpose is to support work that helps identify, preserve, interpret, improve, and promote public awareness of and appreciation for the Oregon and California National Historic Trails.
The announcement makes clear that the NPS intends to fund one expected award, with an estimated total funding amount of $157,150. There is no stated cost-sharing or matching requirement, and the award ceiling and floor are both listed as $0, which typically indicates the funding level is managed through the associated task agreement rather than advertised as a competitive range. The funding instrument type is a cooperative agreement, meaning the NPS anticipates substantial involvement in the project activities compared to a standard grant. The funding activity category is Natural Resources, aligning with the stewardship, protection, and public interpretation aspects of national historic trails.
Timing-wise, the notice was posted and created on July 17, 2013, with an original and current closing date of July 19, 2013, and an archive date of July 20, 2013. Those short dates reinforce that this is an administrative notice documenting the government’s intent to proceed with a specific partner under an existing agreement, rather than a solicitation inviting new applicants to submit proposals. The eligible applicants field is effectively limited by the eligibility statement, which specifies the intended recipient and the fact that the action is a task agreement against an already-established cooperative agreement.
For anyone needing assistance obtaining the full announcement, the listed point of contact is Trish Fresquez Hernandez, Contract Specialist at the National Park Service, reachable by phone at 505-988-6122. The funding opportunity number is NPSNOINTIR130086, and the title mirrors the project goals: identifying, preserving, interpreting, improving, and promoting awareness and appreciation of the Oregon and California National Trails.
