Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS), within the U.S. Department of the Interior, published a Notice of Intent to Award for a project titled "Fort! Flag! Fourth! (Milestones to History) - Fort McHenry." This posting is essentially a public notification that NPS plans to fund a specific set of project activities connected to Fort McHenry, and it makes clear that it is not a request for applications. In other words, the agency is not inviting the public to submit competing proposals; instead, it is announcing its intention to move forward with an award to a recipient without using full and open competition.
The opportunity is listed as a discretionary award and would be issued through a cooperative agreement, which typically means NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project during performance (for example, coordinating activities, providing technical guidance, or collaborating on deliverables) rather than simply issuing funds through a standard grant with limited federal participation. The funding activity category is labeled "Other," with the expectation that the full announcement would clarify what that means in practical terms for the project scope and outcomes.
The notice is associated with Funding Opportunity Number NPS 16 NERO 0007 and is tied to CFDA (Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance) number 15.931, a program identifier used to classify the type of federal assistance. The anticipated funding amount is up to an award ceiling of $75,000, and NPS expected to make one award under this notice. The posting was created and made public on December 16, 2015, with a listed closing date of December 26, 2015, reflecting the administrative window for the notice rather than a deadline for competitive submissions, since applications are not being solicited.
Eligibility is shown broadly as "Others," with additional eligibility details referenced as being available in the full announcement. Practically, in notices like this, that phrasing often signals that NPS already has an intended partner in mind and is documenting the justification for a non-competitive award, while still providing the public record of the planned expenditure. Anyone looking for the specific project description, the identity or type of intended recipient, the non-competitive justification, the scope of work, and expected deliverables would need to open the "Full Announcement" in the related documents, as the short listing primarily serves as a formal notice rather than a full program solicitation.
Overall, the key takeaway is that this is a transparency notice about a planned, single cooperative agreement related to the "Fort! Flag! Fourth! (Milestones to History)" effort at Fort McHenry, with up to $75,000 in federal funding, and it is not an open grant competition.
