Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Discover Our Shared Heritage Travel Itinerary Series and Teaching with Historic Places Updates and Additions" (Funding Opportunity Number P13AS00054) is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary cooperative agreement notice that serves primarily as a public announcement rather than an open call for applications. In other words, it is not inviting the public to apply. Instead, NPS is notifying the public that it intends to fund a specific set of activities without competition under an existing cooperative agreement framework. The work is tied to a Task Agreement issued against Cooperative Agreement P12AC30538, continuing an ongoing partnership between NPS and the National Conference of State Historic Preservation Officers (NCSHPO).
The central purpose of the project is straightforward: update, repair, and expand the online content for two established NPS education and outreach platforms, the Discover Our Shared Heritage Travel Itinerary Series and the Teaching with Historic Places (TwHP) website. The emphasis is on improving the accuracy and usefulness of these public-facing resources by fixing outdated information and broken links, adding new interpretive and educational content, and ensuring that everything is properly formatted and programmed into the existing website structures. This supports broader federal preservation goals under the National Historic Preservation Act by making historic places and their stories easier for educators, students, travelers, and the general public to find and use.
NCSHPO, as the recipient organization, is expected to carry out the bulk of the hands-on content work in coordination with the NPS Chief of Heritage Education Services. Its responsibilities include reviewing the websites to identify and update outdated material and links, developing and writing new content for both the travel itinerary series and the TwHP program, and then integrating that content into the required web formats. A notable deliverable is the creation and programming of a new Teaching with Historic Places lesson plan focused on the history of the Bureau of Reclamation's hydropower program, featuring one or more National Register-listed Reclamation power plants. NCSHPO must also complete any additional tasks assigned by the NPS Chief of Heritage Education Services, provide drafts for federal review, and incorporate requested edits through to final approval.
NPS, for its part, plays the guiding and oversight role typical of a cooperative agreement. Working jointly with NCSHPO, NPS will decide which existing pages and links need updating, determine what new content should be created and added, and review drafts, provide comments, request revisions, and approve final versions. NPS also commits to ensuring that the approved updates and additions are properly uploaded and reflected on the live Discover Our Shared Heritage and TwHP websites. This division of labor highlights the cooperative nature of the award: the recipient produces and implements content, while the agency steers priorities, ensures consistency with program standards, and approves final publication.
Competition was not used for this award because NPS determined that NCSHPO has "unique qualifications" for the work. The justification centers on NCSHPO's specialized role as the national nonprofit representing State Historic Preservation Officers, who administer key components of the national historic preservation program on behalf of the Secretary of the Interior under the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966. NPS also notes that NCSHPO has the resources and technical capability to continue the specific website update and content expansion work associated with these NPS programs, making it a logical and singular fit for this continuation project.
Administratively, the opportunity is categorized under Education, with a CFDA listing of 15.946 (Cultural Resources Management). It anticipated one award with an estimated total funding amount of $32,264, which also serves as the award ceiling (and an award floor listed as $1). No cost sharing or matching funds are required. The notice was posted May 7, 2013, with an original and current closing date of May 16, 2013, and an archive date of May 17, 2013. Eligible applicants are described broadly as 501(c)(3) nonprofits other than institutions of higher education, but because this notice is explicitly not a request for applications, that eligibility language functions more as standard listing information than an invitation to compete. The public contact listed for access issues is Alicia Broner, Contract Specialist (Contractor), at 303-987-6734 and aliciabroner@contractor.nps.gov, and the general reference link points to Grants.gov.
