Opportunity Information: Apply for NPSNOINTIR1900539
The Route 66 National Collaboration Support notice (Funding Opportunity Number NPSNOINTIR1900539) is a discretionary funding announcement from the Department of the Interior, National Park Service (NPS), categorized under natural resources and tied to CFDA 15.958. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, meaning the NPS expects to have substantial involvement in carrying out the supported work rather than simply providing funds with minimal federal participation. The opportunity was created on May 30, 2019, with an original closing date listed as June 10, 2019, and it anticipated making one award with a maximum (ceiling) amount of $37,012.
A key point is that this announcement is explicitly not a request for applications. In practical terms, that means the NPS was not soliciting open, competitive proposals from the public through this posting. Instead, the notice serves as public documentation of the NPS intention to issue a task agreement under an existing master cooperative agreement that had already been competed previously, or that was justified as a single-source arrangement. These kinds of notices are commonly used to meet transparency and public-notice expectations when an agency plans to direct work to an existing partner vehicle rather than run a new competition.
Eligibility is listed as nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). Even though eligibility language is present, the notice format indicates that an award recipient was effectively pre-identified through the pre-existing master cooperative agreement framework, and the task agreement would be issued within that established relationship. As a result, this listing functions more as an informational posting about an intended award action than an open funding opportunity where new applicants would reasonably expect to compete.
Overall, the announcement communicates that the NPS planned a single cooperative agreement task action to support collaborative efforts connected to Route 66, with a relatively small, project-scale ceiling of $37,012, and that the action would proceed through an already-established cooperative agreement mechanism rather than through a new application process.Apply for NPSNOINTIR1900539
