Opportunity Information: Apply for NPSNOINTIRP19AC00746
The grant opportunity titled "El Camino Real de los Tejas NHT Admin. and Volunteer Support FY 19-20" (Funding Opportunity Number NPSNOINTIRP19AC00746) is a National Park Service notice published by the U.S. Department of the Interior on July 2, 2019. It is categorized as a discretionary funding action and uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, with the work falling under the Natural Resources activity category. The CFDA listing associated with it is 15.935, which generally covers National Park Service financial assistance programs.
The most important detail is that the announcement explicitly states it is not a request for applications. In practical terms, this means the National Park Service was not inviting open competition from the public through a typical application process. Instead, the notice serves as a public transparency step indicating the agency's intent to make an award through a task agreement that sits under an existing master cooperative agreement. The language "previously competed or single source justified" signals that either the partner relationship and selection were already established through an earlier competitive process, or the agency documented a justification to work with a specific organization without a new open competition.
The opportunity anticipates a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an award ceiling of $75,050. The time marker "FY 19-20" indicates the work and funding align with the federal fiscal year timeframe spanning 2019 into 2020. The original closing date shown (July 12, 2019) should be understood in the context of public notice postings: even though a closing date is listed, the announcement is still not inviting applications, so it functions more like the end of the notice period rather than a deadline for proposal submissions.
Eligibility is listed as nonprofits with IRS 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. That eligibility statement reflects the kind of organization the National Park Service expected to partner with for the task agreement work. The project title indicates the funded activities relate to administrative support and volunteer support for El Camino Real de los Tejas National Historic Trail (NHT). While the notice does not provide a detailed scope of work in the text provided, the title strongly suggests operational support functions such as coordination, program administration, and volunteer engagement or management connected to stewardship, interpretation, outreach, or trail-related initiatives typically associated with a national historic trail program.
In short, this listing is best read as a formal public notice that the National Park Service intended to provide up to $75,050 via a cooperative agreement task arrangement to support administration and volunteer-related efforts for El Camino Real de los Tejas National Historic Trail during FY 2019-2020, and not as an open call where new applicants could compete for the funding.Apply for NPSNOINTIRP19AC00746
