Opportunity Information: Apply for NPSNOINTIR1701189
This notice describes a National Park Service (NPS) funding action focused on the Pony Express National Historic Trail (NHT). The overall purpose of the work is to identify and preserve historic trail resources, interpret the trail and its associated features and landmarks, improve public accessibility where appropriate, and promote broader public awareness and appreciation of the Pony Express NHT. In practice, this kind of project scope can include activities like documenting and assessing trail-related sites, supporting preservation or stabilization of significant resources, enhancing or developing interpretive materials (such as signage, exhibits, digital content, and educational outreach), and making improvements that help the public safely and responsibly experience trail-related places.
The announcement is explicitly not a request for applications. Instead, it functions as a public notice that NPS intends to make an award through a task agreement under an existing master cooperative agreement that has already been competed previously, or that has been justified as a single-source arrangement. That means the agency is not opening a new competition for this specific opportunity; rather, it is signaling its intent to proceed with a specific partner or a set of pre-established partners under an umbrella agreement mechanism. In other words, even though it appears in grant opportunity listings, it is not structured for new applicants to submit proposals in response to this posting.
The funding instrument type is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates that NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the supported activities, such as coordination, technical input, review, or shared implementation responsibilities. The opportunity is categorized as discretionary and tied to a natural resources activity category, reflecting NPS stewardship interests that often blend cultural resource protection, historic preservation, and public interpretation. The CFDA number listed is 15.935, which corresponds to NPS financial assistance programming.
Eligibility is listed as nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), but because this is not an open solicitation, that eligibility statement should be read as describing the type of organization contemplated for the task agreement rather than an invitation for the broader nonprofit community to apply. The notice indicates an expectation of a single award. The award ceiling is shown as 0, which typically signals that a specific maximum federal dollar amount is not being provided in the public notice, may be determined within the underlying master agreement/task agreement, or may vary based on final scope and negotiated terms.
Administrative details place the opportunity under the Department of the Interior, National Park Service, with a creation date of July 25, 2017 and an original closing date of August 5, 2017. Given the "not a request for applications" language, the closing date is best understood as the end of the public notice period rather than a deadline for proposal submission. The funding opportunity number associated with the notice is NPSNOINTIR1701189, and the title repeats the core intent: advancing identification, preservation, interpretation, accessibility improvements, and public appreciation connected to the Pony Express National Historic Trail.Apply for NPSNOINTIR1701189
