Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity is a National Park Service (NPS) notice of intent to make a single discretionary award to support work on the Pony Express National Historic Trail. The purpose of the project is to identify trail resources, preserve and improve them where appropriate, interpret the trail for the public, and promote broader public awareness and appreciation of the Pony Express National Historic Trail. In practical terms, the grant is aimed at strengthening the long-term stewardship of the trail and helping the public better understand the trail's historic significance through preservation activities and interpretive and outreach efforts.
The announcement is not a general open competition. It is specifically a notice of intent to award a task agreement to the Pony Express National Trail Association under an already-existing cooperative agreement. Because it is tied to an existing cooperative relationship, the eligible applicant category is effectively limited to that named partner organization rather than being broadly available to all potential applicants. The opportunity is administered by the National Park Service and is categorized under Natural Resources, with the CFDA listing 15.935, National Trails System Projects, which aligns with federal support for nationally designated trails and related education, protection, and public engagement work.
The expected number of awards is one, with an estimated total funding amount of $48,500. The listing shows no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is not required to contribute non-federal matching funds as a condition of the award. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as $0, which typically indicates the program is not using those fields to define a competitive range because the funding amount is established through the intended task agreement rather than through a multi-applicant competition with variable award sizes.
Key dates reflect how narrowly targeted and time-limited this posting was. The opportunity was posted and created on June 27, 2012, with an original and current closing date of June 28, 2012, and an archive date of June 29, 2012. That short window is consistent with a notice of intent format, where the public posting serves more as a transparency and documentation step rather than an invitation for a broad set of applications.
For administrative questions or difficulty accessing the full announcement, the contact listed is Trish Fresquez Hernandez, Contract Specialist, reachable by phone at 505-988-6122, associated with NPS.
