Notice of Intent Single Source Award Museum Collection Support | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The Notice of Intent Single Source Award Museum Collection Support is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding opportunity tied to the San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park (SAFR). The NPS plans to issue a single-source cooperative agreement task award (Task Agreement J8520100030) to the San Francisco Maritime National Park Association (SFMNPA) to provide hands-on support for organizing and improving the park's museum archives records. The work is focused on building out and correcting records in the Interior Collection Management System (ICMS), specifically within the ICMS Archives Module CLASS item-level directory.

The core purpose of the project is to inventory and document roughly 20,000 images so they can be properly accounted for and accessible through ICMS. The scope includes five main tasks: first, surveying the remaining classified photograph holdings and creating new database records for images that are not already represented in ICMS; second, updating existing ICMS records when additional formats or versions of images exist but were not previously captured in the record; third, reviewing prior data entry for mistakes, gaps, and inconsistencies and correcting those issues; fourth, tracking productivity and effort by logging the number of items handled and the time spent on key activities, especially creating new records and modifying existing ones, using a SAFR-provided tracking log; and fifth, flagging photographs that need improved housing (such as new enclosures) or that show signs of deterioration and may require conservation treatment to stabilize the materials.

Administratively, this action is not being competed. It is explicitly described as a single-source award to SFMNPA in San Francisco, California, and it will be processed under an already existing cooperative agreement (H8520080016). The notice cites Department of the Interior policy 505 DM 2 as the authority supporting this single-source approach. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates that the NPS expects to have substantial involvement or collaboration in the project rather than simply issuing a hands-off grant.

In terms of funding details, the opportunity lists an estimated total funding amount of $34,000, with an award ceiling of $34,000 and an award floor of $0. Only one award is expected. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The opportunity category is discretionary, and the funding activity category is listed as Information and Statistics, reflecting that the project is centered on records creation, data quality improvement, and collection documentation rather than physical construction or public programming.

Eligibility information in the posting notes that eligible applicants include nonprofits that do not have a 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education). However, because this is a notice of intent for a single-source award, the practical reality is that the NPS has already identified SFMNPA as the intended recipient, and other applicants are not being solicited for competition. The announcement timeline shows the posting date of March 4, 2010, with an original and current closing date of March 8, 2010, and an archive date of April 7, 2010, indicating it was a short notice window typical of single-source intent postings rather than an open call for proposals.

For questions or issues accessing the announcement, the listed contact is Colleen Broussard Perry, Contract Specialist, reachable by phone at 916-561-4792 or by email at colleenbroussard perry@nps.gov.
