Opportunity Summary:
The "Joint Operations" grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOI 15 NATC 79300) is a National Park Service (NPS) Notice of Intent to Award a single, non-competitive Cooperative Agreement. It is not an open call for applications or proposals, and it was published mainly to satisfy public notice requirements under Department of the Interior policy (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C) for a single-source award. In practical terms, this means the NPS had already identified the intended recipient and was not seeking competing submissions from other organizations.
The purpose of the agreement is centered on education and cultural resources management, specifically improving the public's understanding of the cultural and historic significance of Natchez, Mississippi. The planned work supports a jointly operated and maintained visitor reception center, described as the Natchez Visitor Reception Center. Through this center, the partners aim to promote, facilitate, and strengthen public interpretation and visitor engagement related to the area's heritage. The arrangement is explicitly a joint operation between the National Park Service and the City of Natchez, reflecting shared responsibility for running and maintaining the facility as a key public-facing point for information and interpretation.
The opportunity was categorized as discretionary funding and uses a Cooperative Agreement as the funding instrument, which typically indicates substantial involvement by the federal agency in carrying out the project compared to a more hands-off grant. The expected number of awards was one, and the eligible applicant identified in the announcement is the City of Natchez, Mississippi (listed as a single-source recipient). No cost sharing or matching requirement was indicated. The estimated total funding amount was $600,000, while the listed award ceiling and floor were both $0, which often appears in notices where the final award amount is handled in the attached full announcement or through internal award documentation rather than expressed as a competitive range.
Key dates show the notice was posted on August 7, 2015, with an original and current closing date of August 17, 2015, and an archive date of September 16, 2015. Because it was not a request for applications, the closing date functions more as an administrative timeline for the notice rather than a deadline for applicants to submit proposals. The associated CFDA number is 15.946 (Cultural Resources Management), aligning the effort with the NPS mission of preserving and interpreting cultural resources for public benefit.
For anyone needing the full announcement but having trouble accessing it electronically, the listed point of contact was Rose McClelland, Contracting Specialist, reachable by phone at 504-589-3882 or by email at rosemcclelland@nps.gov.
