Opportunity Information: Apply for P18AS00023
The Department of the Interior, through the National Park Service, posted a discretionary funding opportunity titled "Landscape and Exterior Maintenance of Pratt Cabin, Guadalupe Mountains National Park" (Funding Opportunity Number P18AS00023). The purpose of the project is straightforward: provide landscape and exterior maintenance support for the historic Pratt Cabin located within Guadalupe Mountains National Park. In practical terms, the work centers on maintaining the cabin's surrounding grounds and the outside of the structure to help preserve the site, maintain safe and appropriate conditions for visitors and staff, and support the National Park Service's stewardship responsibilities for cultural and historic resources.
This opportunity is offered as a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant. A cooperative agreement typically means the National Park Service expects to be actively involved during the period of performance, such as coordinating technical direction, setting preservation or maintenance standards, and collaborating on work planning and oversight. The program is listed under CFDA 15.945, which corresponds to National Park Service assistance programs, and the funding activity category is labeled "Other," indicating the work does not fall neatly into a more common category like research or construction and instead focuses on specialized maintenance and preservation-related tasks.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofit organizations that have IRS-recognized 501(c)(3) status, specifically excluding institutions of higher education. The notice indicates an expected single award, with a maximum funding level (award ceiling) of $29,296. That ceiling suggests the project is relatively focused in scope, likely covering a defined set of maintenance activities rather than major rehabilitation or large-scale capital improvements.
The posting date (creation date) is November 27, 2017. Instead of a typical open competition closing date, the listing references a "Notice of Intent to Award" under an existing master agreement (P17AC00784). That language usually signals the agency planned to make an award under a pre-established partnership framework, often narrowing the field to organizations already covered by that master agreement and streamlining the selection process for a specific task or project.
Overall, this is a small, targeted National Park Service cooperative agreement intended to support hands-on upkeep of a specific historic site at Guadalupe Mountains National Park, with funding capped at just under $30,000 and an anticipated single recipient from the eligible 501(c)(3) nonprofit community.Apply for P18AS00023
