Opportunity Summary:
The Notice of Intent titled "The National Symphony Orchestra Labor Day Capitol Concert" (Funding Opportunity Number P16AS00211) is a National Park Service (NPS), Department of the Interior (DOI) discretionary funding opportunity structured as a cooperative agreement. It is tied directly to an existing cooperative agreement, P13AC00441, between the NPS and the National Symphony Orchestra Association (NSOA). The purpose of this action is to carry out a specific task under that broader agreement: ensuring the National Symphony Orchestra performs at a Labor Day concert held on the West Lawn of the United States Capitol, and confirming that NSOA is responsible for producing that Labor Day event.
The opportunity is essentially an implementation step rather than an open-ended call for new program concepts. It builds on pre-established terms and conditions already laid out in the original cooperative agreement, stating that those terms apply unless something is explicitly changed in the task agreement. In practical terms, NSOA is expected to both (1) ensure the Orchestra appears and performs at the Labor Day Capitol concert, and (2) manage production of the concert itself. The description also references the larger framework of performances covered by the overarching agreement, which includes Memorial Day and Independence Day concerts in addition to the Labor Day concert.
From a public purpose standpoint, the project is framed as a cultural heritage and public understanding effort. By presenting a high-profile symphonic performance on the Capitol grounds in coordination with a local partner, identified as the Architect of the Capitol, the concert is positioned as a public-facing civic and cultural event intended to promote appreciation of the nation’s cultural heritage in a prominent national setting.
Key funding details include an award ceiling of $528,500, with one expected award. The CFDA number listed is 15.946, and the activity category is labeled Natural Resources, consistent with NPS’s broader mission and its role in supporting public programming connected to nationally significant places. The opportunity was posted and created on June 2, 2016, with a closing date of June 12, 2016. Eligibility is broadly labeled as "Others," with clarification indicated in an additional eligibility text field, but the structure and language of the notice indicate it is primarily intended to support the continuation of work with the NSOA under the existing cooperative agreement rather than to solicit competing proposals from a wide range of applicants.
