Opportunity Information: Apply for P17AS00720
The "Archeological Survey of Lyons Ranch Historic District Roads" opportunity is a National Park Service (NPS) notice of intent to make a single cooperative agreement award for a specific, named project. It is published by the United States Department of the Interior, National Park Service, under Funding Opportunity Number P17AS00720, and it falls under the discretionary funding category. The activity focus is classified as Natural Resources, and it is associated with CFDA number 15.954, which corresponds to NPS assistance programs. The key point is that this announcement is not a competitive solicitation and not a request for applications; it serves as a public transparency notice that NPS plans to fund the work without full and open competition.
The planned award is tied to an existing relationship framework rather than an open application process. Specifically, NPS indicates it intends to support project activities through Task Agreement P17AC01380 under a master Cooperative Agreement P13AC00848. The identified partner for this task agreement is the Humboldt State University Sponsored Programs Foundation. Because the recipient organization is already specified and the award is being made under an established cooperative agreement mechanism, other organizations are not being invited to apply through this posting, and no application deadline is provided beyond the statement that it is not a request for applications.
In terms of funding details, the notice lists an award ceiling of $27,950 and anticipates making one award. The funding instrument type is a cooperative agreement, which typically implies substantial involvement by the federal agency in the execution of the project compared with a standard grant. While the notice does not provide a detailed scope of work beyond the project title, the intent conveyed by the title is that the supported work will involve an archeological survey related to roads within the Lyons Ranch Historic District, which suggests field and documentation activities aimed at identifying, recording, and evaluating archeological resources connected to historic transportation features in that district.
Eligibility information is included for program classification purposes, stating eligible applicants as nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education). Even though that eligibility category is listed, the practical effect of the notice is informational rather than invitational, since NPS is explicitly announcing its intent to fund a particular task agreement with a specified partner organization without competition. The posting date (creation date) is August 23, 2017, and the original closing date field reiterates that there is no application period because this is not a request for proposals or applications.Apply for P17AS00720
