Opportunity Summary:
This notice describes a National Park Service (NPS) intent to make a single, non-competitive award connected to work supporting the Trail of Tears National Historic Trail. It is explicitly not a request for applications and is being published only to satisfy a public notice requirement under Department of the Interior policy (cited as 505 DM 2.12). In practical terms, that means the NPS has already identified the recipient and plans to issue a task agreement under an existing cooperative agreement rather than running an open competition.
The planned recipient is the Trail of Tears Association. The purpose of the task agreement is to promote and engage in the protection and preservation of the Trail of Tears National Historic Trail, which falls under the broader National Trails activity area. The funding instrument type is a cooperative agreement, indicating that the project is expected to involve substantial federal involvement or partnership during implementation, rather than functioning like a simple pass-through grant.
The opportunity is listed as discretionary and anticipates one award with an estimated total funding amount of $180,500. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement noted. The listing shows an award ceiling and floor of $0, which commonly appears in notices that are not true competitive solicitations and do not use standard ceiling/floor fields in the same way as open grant competitions.
Key administrative details include the funding opportunity number NPSNOINTIR1501261 and the program reference CFDA 15.935, National Trails System Projects. The notice was posted on July 23, 2015, with an original and current closing date of August 2, 2015, and an archive date of September 1, 2015. Because this is an intent-to-award notice rather than an open solicitation, those dates function more as public posting timeframes than as applicant deadlines.
For questions or trouble accessing the full announcement, the notice provides a point of contact: Trish Fresquez Hernandez, Contract Specialist, at 505-988-6122 (National Park Service).
