Opportunity Summary:
The "Managing Collections & Developing exhibits" opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPSNOIWACC1601154) is a National Park Service notice stating its intent to make an award, not an open call for proposals. In practical terms, this is a public transparency posting that the Department of the Interior, National Park Service plans to issue a single, non-competitive task agreement under a cooperative agreement mechanism. Because it is explicitly described as a "NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD," the agency is not seeking new applications and is not running a competitive selection process for this particular action.
The opportunity is categorized as a discretionary award using a Cooperative Agreement, with the activity area listed under Natural Resources and associated with CFDA 15.931. While the eligibility field notes that qualified applicants are nonprofits with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), that eligibility statement is largely informational here since the notice is not inviting submissions. The posting indicates the agency expects to make one award (Expected Awards: 1), and the listed award ceiling is 0, which typically means the public listing does not specify a maximum dollar amount (or that the amount is handled through internal documentation rather than the synopsis).
The title suggests the work involves managing museum or archival collections and developing exhibits, which commonly includes organizing, preserving, cataloging, and providing access to physical or digital collections, along with planning and producing interpretive exhibits for visitors. However, the synopsis itself does not provide project details, deliverables, performance period, or budget information, focusing instead on the procedural point that the NPS intends to proceed with a non-competitive agreement.
Key dates on the notice include a creation date of July 12, 2016 and an original closing date of July 26, 2016. In notices like this, the "closing date" generally functions as the end of the public notice period rather than an application deadline, since no applications are being requested. Anyone interested in similar work with the National Park Service would typically need to watch for separate competitive funding announcements or contracting opportunities that explicitly solicit proposals or bids, because this specific posting is not designed for new applicants to apply.
