Opportunity Summary:
This opportunity, titled "To protect the integrity of the El Camino Real de los Tejas NHT" (Funding Opportunity Number NPSNOINTIR1300804), is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding action tied to the National Trails System Projects program (CFDA 15.935). It is not a broad, open competition; it is explicitly a Notice of Intent to make a task agreement award under an already-existing cooperative agreement with the El Camino Real de los Tejas National Historic Trail (NHT) Association. In practical terms, that means the NPS had an established partnership mechanism in place and planned to issue a specific work assignment (a task agreement) to that partner to carry out activities aimed at protecting the historic integrity of the El Camino Real de los Tejas National Historic Trail.
The purpose of the intended award is narrowly focused: safeguarding and maintaining the historic integrity of the El Camino Real de los Tejas NHT. While the notice does not list detailed work tasks, the stated goal strongly suggests activities that support resource protection, preservation planning, stewardship coordination, and related efforts that help ensure the trail's historically significant character is not degraded. Because it is structured as a cooperative agreement, the relationship typically involves substantial federal involvement beyond simply providing funds, such as collaboration on project planning, technical guidance, review, coordination with partners, or other hands-on participation consistent with cooperative agreement standards.
Funding details indicate an estimated total funding amount of $87,205, with an expected number of awards of one. The listing shows no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient would not be required by the opportunity to provide non-federal match as a condition of the award. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as $0, which commonly appears in notices like this when the agency is not using a traditional open solicitation format with a defined competitive range, or when the amount is otherwise captured in the estimated total funding figure rather than expressed as a ceiling/floor structure.
Timing information shows the opportunity was posted and created on July 10, 2013, with an original and current closing date of July 12, 2013, and an archive date of August 11, 2013. The very short window between posting and closing is consistent with a Notice of Intent that is primarily informational and tied to a pre-identified recipient under an existing agreement, rather than a solicitation designed to attract multiple applicants over a longer application period.
Eligibility is categorized as "Others" with clarification provided in the eligibility text: the intended recipient is the El Camino Real de los Tejas NHT Association. This confirms the notice is directed toward executing a specific task agreement with that organization rather than inviting new applicants. Anyone seeking more information or experiencing difficulty accessing the full announcement is directed to contact Trish Fresquez Hernandez, Contract Specialist at the National Park Service, by phone at 505-988-6122.
