Opportunity Information: Apply for NPSNOINTIR1701130
This notice is a National Park Service (NPS) public announcement about its intent to fund work that promotes public awareness of, and appreciation for, the Oregon and California National Historic Trails. It is listed as a discretionary funding opportunity under the Department of the Interior, with the funding mechanism identified as a cooperative agreement and the program area categorized under natural resources (CFDA 15.935). The opportunity is titled "To promote public awareness of and appreciation for the Oregon and California Trails" and carries the funding opportunity number NPSNOINTIR1701130. It was created on July 18, 2017, with an original closing date of July 28, 2017, and it anticipates a single award.
The key point is that this announcement is explicitly not a request for applications. Rather than opening a competitive application process, NPS is providing formal public notice that it intends to make a task agreement award under an existing master cooperative agreement that has either already been competed in the past or has been justified as a single-source arrangement. In practical terms, that means the agency is not soliciting new proposals from the general public during this posting. Instead, the award would be issued through a pre-established agreement framework, typically to an organization already positioned under that master cooperative agreement.
Eligibility is stated as nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). Even though eligibility is listed, the non-application nature of the notice indicates that only entities already associated with the relevant master cooperative agreement, or otherwise identified through the prior competition or single-source justification, would realistically be in line to receive the task agreement. The posting also shows an award ceiling of $0, which commonly signals that the notice is informational and that specific funding levels may be set in the task agreement itself, may not have been finalized at the time of posting, or may not be reflected in the summary fields of the announcement.
Overall, this is best understood as an informational, transparency-oriented posting: NPS is communicating that it plans to move forward with a single task agreement (one expected award) using an existing cooperative agreement vehicle to support activities that increase public understanding and appreciation of the Oregon and California Trails, rather than inviting new applications through an open grant competition.Apply for NPSNOINTIR1701130
