Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS), within the U.S. Department of the Interior, issued a Notice of Intent to Award (NOI) for a cooperative agreement titled "NOI BOAF Interpretation and Preservation" under funding opportunity number NPS 14 NERO 0053. This notice is strictly a public announcement of the government’s plan to make an award and is not a request for applications or an open call for proposals. In other words, the NPS was not seeking competing applications from the public; it was providing transparency that it intended to proceed with a specific partner without full and open competition.
The planned award was structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the NPS expected to have substantial involvement in carrying out the project rather than simply issuing a grant with minimal federal participation. The identified partner (cooperator) was The Museum of African American History, Inc., a nonprofit organization. The associated CFDA number is 15.938, which corresponds to the Boston African American National Historic Site, indicating that the project activities were tied to interpretation and preservation work connected to that NPS unit and its mission.
The opportunity was categorized under the Education funding activity area, reflecting an emphasis on public understanding, interpretation, and the communication of historical significance, alongside preservation-related efforts. The notice indicated there would be one expected award, with an estimated total funding amount of $33,000. The award ceiling and floor were both listed as $33,000, which effectively signaled a fixed award amount rather than a range. No cost sharing or matching funds were required from the recipient.
Eligibility, as listed in the posting, was limited to nonprofits holding IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). However, because this was an NOI to make a non-competitive award to a named organization, the eligibility listing does not function like it would in a competitive grant program; it mainly reflects the recipient type for the planned agreement rather than inviting other eligible entities to apply.
The posting timeline shows it was published on June 18, 2014, with an original and current closing date of June 22, 2014, and an archive date of June 23, 2014. Those dates align with the administrative window for posting and closing the notice, not an application submission period, since the announcement explicitly stated it was not a request for applications. For anyone unable to access the full announcement attachment online, the notice provided a point of contact: Dawn Mach, Contract Specialist, at 215-597-0056.
