Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service Concept Plan for Intermountain Region Mobile Exhibit (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP13AC01350) is a National Park Service discretionary funding opportunity structured as a cooperative agreement, with the work falling under an education-related activity category and tied to CFDA 15.946, Cultural Resources Management. The opportunity was posted on September 4, 2013, with a very short application window closing on September 9, 2013, and it was later archived on October 9, 2013. The National Park Service anticipated making one award under this notice, with an estimated total funding amount of $25,000. No cost sharing or matching funds were required, and the listing does not specify an award ceiling or floor beyond showing both as zero, which typically indicates that the formal cap and minimum were not stated in the summary record and would be clarified in the full announcement materials.
A key point of this announcement is that it is explicitly described as a notice of intent for a noncompetitive award, issued in accordance with Department of the Interior policy at 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C. In practical terms, that language usually signals that the agency has already identified a specific partner or a narrowly defined recipient pool for the project, rather than running a fully open, competitive solicitation. The summary directs interested parties to review the attached announcement for details, which is where the National Park Service would normally explain the justification for using a noncompetitive process, the scope of work for the concept plan, expected deliverables, reporting requirements, and the specific partnership responsibilities under the cooperative agreement framework (which commonly involves substantial federal involvement such as collaboration on planning, review, or coordination).
Eligibility, as stated in the listing, is limited to nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. Because only one award was expected and the process was noncompetitive, the eligibility line should be read as the general eligibility category for the agreement rather than an indication that multiple applicants would be evaluated in a standard competitive review. The purpose implied by the title is the development of a concept plan for a mobile exhibit serving the NPS Intermountain Region, which would typically involve interpretive planning, audience and site considerations, preliminary design concepts, educational messaging aligned with NPS themes, and an approach for deploying an exhibit that can travel to different venues within the region. The exact content, schedule, and required format of the concept plan would be specified in the full announcement attachment referenced in the notice.
For access issues or administrative questions about obtaining the full announcement, the point of contact listed is Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-969-2392.
