Opportunity Summary:
This notice describes a National Park Service (NPS) funding action related to Pullman National Monument, but it is explicitly not an open request for proposals or applications. Instead, it serves as a public announcement that the Department of the Interior (DOI), through NPS, intends to make a single award on a noncompetitive basis. The project focus is to create educational curriculum and deliver education programming that teaches the development and history of Pullman National Monument, with NPS working in collaboration with two named partners: The Dunes Learning Center and the Historic Pullman Foundation.
The planned funding will be issued as a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates active involvement by NPS during the project rather than a hands-off grant. The notice lists an anticipated total award amount up to 60,000 dollars, with one expected award. The opportunity is identified as Funding Opportunity Number NOIP16AC00502 under CFDA 15.406, and it was posted and created on June 9, 2016, with a listed closing date of June 20, 2016. Even though a closing date appears, the key point is that the announcement is not soliciting competing applications; it is documenting the government’s intent to fund this specific set of activities with these specific collaborators.
The justification given for selecting The Dunes Learning Center without competition centers on qualifications and regional reach. The Dunes Learning Center is portrayed as uniquely suited to the work because of its established record in curriculum development and delivery, as well as its geographic service area in and around Chicagoland. Based in northwest Indiana, the organization reportedly provides environmental education programming to more than 5,000 students each year. In addition to running residential education programs at its own facility, it partners with local nonprofits to provide stewardship-focused educational programming at other sites across the region. The notice also emphasizes that the Dunes Learning Center has a strong network of partners and regional support, which is presented as a practical reason it can effectively help implement programming connected to Pullman National Monument.
In plain terms, this is a noncompetitive, single-award cooperative agreement announcement where NPS is signaling it will work directly with the Dunes Learning Center and the Historic Pullman Foundation to build and deliver educational materials and programs about Pullman’s history. It is primarily a transparency notice rather than an invitation for other organizations to apply.
