Opportunity Summary:

The Notice of Intent to Award - Heritage Development Partnership is a National Park Service (NPS) announcement letting the public know that the Department of the Interior plans to fund a specific project through a cooperative agreement, and that it intends to do so without full and open competition. In practical terms, this is not a grant competition and not a call for applications. It functions as a transparency notice: NPS is signaling that it has identified the project activities and recipient pathway in advance and is documenting its intent to make an award under that arrangement.

This opportunity is listed as a discretionary award using the cooperative agreement instrument, which generally indicates substantial federal involvement in carrying out the project (for example, collaboration, technical support, shared responsibilities, or coordinated implementation) rather than a hands-off grant. The funding activity category is labeled as "Other," with additional clarification presumably provided in the full notice documentation. The assistance listing is tied to CFDA (now commonly referred to as Assistance Listing) number 15.939, which situates the award within NPS financial assistance programs.

The posting identifies an award ceiling of $30,000 and states that NPS expects to make one award. The opportunity was created on September 20, 2016, with an original closing date of September 29, 2016. In notices like this, the closing date typically relates to the public posting period or internal administrative timing rather than a deadline for submitting proposals, since applications are not being solicited.

Eligibility is shown as "Others," meaning the intended recipient type is not one of the standard broad categories and is instead defined in the detailed eligibility language in the full notice. Because this is a noncompetitive intent-to-award announcement, that eligibility field is mainly informative and does not imply that new entities can apply. Anyone seeking the complete scope of work, justification for limiting competition, intended recipient details, or specific project activities would need to review the posting's related documents, which the notice points to as the source for complete details.
