Opportunity Summary:
The Historic Marconi/RCA Radio Sites Inventory and Museum Collections Planning opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P16AS00555) is a National Park Service (NPS) notice stating the agency's intent to make a single discretionary award under a Cooperative Agreement, rather than an open competition. In practical terms, it is a public transparency notice explaining that NPS plans to fund a specific set of project activities connected to documenting and planning around historic Marconi and RCA radio-related resources, with an emphasis on inventories of historic radio sites and planning for museum collections. The opportunity is associated with CFDA 15.946 and is categorized under "Other" for the funding activity area, indicating it does not fit neatly into the standard program buckets and should be interpreted based on the project description itself.
A key point is that this announcement is not a request for applications and has no application closing date because NPS is not soliciting proposals from the public. Instead, NPS indicates it will fund Task Agreement P16AC01388 under an existing master Cooperative Agreement (P14AC01640) that was previously justified as a single-source arrangement. The named partner for this work is the Maritime Radio Historical Society, a nonprofit organization, and the notice functions mainly to document that NPS intends to continue or extend work with that specific organization through the task agreement mechanism.
Funding is described with an award ceiling of $56,990 and an expectation of one award, reinforcing that this is a targeted, project-specific action rather than a broader grant program. The eligible applicant category listed is nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), which aligns with the Maritime Radio Historical Society's nonprofit profile; however, because the notice is not open for applications, that eligibility information is more descriptive than actionable for outside parties. The announcement was created on August 24, 2016, and the awarding agency is the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service.
Overall, the notice communicates that NPS intends to support a defined preservation and planning effort focused on historically significant Marconi/RCA radio sites and related museum collections planning, carried out through an established cooperative agreement relationship with the Maritime Radio Historical Society, with a modest, capped funding amount and a single anticipated award.
