Opportunity Information: Apply for NPSNOINTIR1701230
This notice describes the National Park Service (NPS), within the Department of the Interior, signaling its intent to fund work connected to documenting and surveying resources associated with Historic Route 66 in California, with a specific emphasis on two related efforts: a historic road alignment survey for Route 66 in California and the collection of Route 66 historic property survey data within the Los Angeles metropolitan area. The announcement is essentially a public transparency notice rather than a competitive grant solicitation. It clearly states that it is not a request for applications, meaning the NPS was not inviting new proposals from the general public through this posting.
The opportunity is listed as a discretionary award using a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument. A cooperative agreement typically implies that the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the funded work (for example, coordinating methods, review, deliverables, or project direction), as opposed to a standard grant where the recipient generally operates more independently. The notice indicates the NPS planned to issue a task agreement under an existing master cooperative agreement that had already been competed, or alternatively under a master agreement that was justified as single-source. In practical terms, this means the recipient was likely already part of an established agreement vehicle with NPS, and this announcement served to document the agency's intention to proceed with a specific task under that umbrella.
The listing identifies eligible applicants as nonprofits with IRS 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. Even though eligibility is stated, the key limitation is that the notice was not open for new applications. Instead, it functioned as a formal notice that an award was expected to be made to one recipient (ExpectedAwards: 1) through the preexisting agreement mechanism. The opportunity is associated with CFDA number 15.958, which corresponds to National Park Service-related assistance programming, indicating the broader federal assistance category under which this work falls.
Several administrative fields reinforce that this posting was informational rather than competitive. The announcement includes an opportunity number (NPSNOINTIR1701230), a creation date of August 3, 2017, and an original closing date of August 13, 2017, which in many cases reflects the period the notice was visible or the timeframe for public awareness rather than an application window. The award ceiling is listed as 0, which commonly appears in notices where a traditional competitive budget cap is not being advertised because the funding amount is set within the task agreement or managed internally under the master cooperative agreement.
In terms of the project substance, the title and description indicate work centered on cultural resource documentation for Route 66. A historic road alignment survey generally involves identifying, verifying, and documenting the physical location and characteristics of historic roadway segments over time, which can include mapping, archival research, field verification, and integration of findings into documentation products suitable for preservation planning. The related effort in the Los Angeles metropolitan area focuses on gathering survey data on historic properties tied to Route 66, which could include buildings, structures, districts, landscapes, or other associated resources. While the notice does not list specific deliverables, these types of projects commonly result in survey datasets, maps or GIS layers, photographic documentation, written context and evaluation notes, and standardized inventory forms used for historic preservation and planning.
Overall, this announcement communicates that the National Park Service intended to proceed with a single cooperative agreement task award, using an existing agreement pathway, to support documentation and survey work related to Historic Route 66 in California and the Los Angeles area. It is a public notice of intent rather than an open call, and it provides the basic administrative identifiers and eligibility category without offering application instructions because none were being solicited.Apply for NPSNOINTIR1701230
