Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Document Maritime Resources - Ellis Island & ABMC Cemeteries" (Funding Opportunity Number P16AS00122) is a discretionary National Park Service (NPS) funding action under the U.S. Department of the Interior. It is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the work is carried out in partnership with a designated cooperator rather than through a standard grant competition where multiple applicants submit proposals and one is selected. The core purpose of the task is documentation work: revising existing materials and preparing updated drawings related to buildings on Ellis Island as well as cemeteries managed by the American Battle Monuments Commission (ABMC). In practical terms, the deliverables implied by the description are architectural or technical drawings that help preserve, interpret, manage, or maintain historic and culturally significant resources.
This notice is explicitly not an open solicitation. It is labeled as a Notice of Intent, and it states that the task agreement will be awarded under an existing cooperative agreement, P13AC00081, which had already gone through a competitive process earlier. Because of that, no applications are being accepted and there is no active deadline for outside parties to apply. The posting and creation dates are both April 22, 2016, and both the original and current closing date fields repeat the same message: the opportunity is informational only and is tied to a pre-existing agreement rather than a new competition.
The financial scope is modest and specific to the defined documentation effort. The award ceiling is listed as $28,278, and the expected number of awards is one, reinforcing that the intent is to fund a single task order or task agreement with the previously selected partner organization. The CFDA number associated with the opportunity is 15.946, which corresponds to National Park Service programs and indicates the broader federal assistance context in which this work sits. The funding activity category is listed as "Other," implying the work does not fall neatly into a standard category like construction or research, and instead aligns with specialized cultural resource documentation and drawing preparation.
Eligibility information is provided, but it is largely academic in this case because the notice is not open for competition. The eligibility field lists "Nonprofits that do not have a 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, other than institutions of higher education." Even though that describes the type of entity that could be eligible under the assistance framework, the key point remains that this specific task agreement is being executed under an existing cooperative arrangement and is not accepting new applicants.
Overall, the opportunity is best understood as a publicly posted announcement documenting the federal government’s intent to fund a defined scope of preservation-related documentation work for Ellis Island buildings and ABMC cemeteries, using a cooperative agreement mechanism already in place. It signals the project purpose, administrative vehicle, and approximate funding level, but it is not a call for proposals and does not provide a pathway for new organizations to compete for the award.
