A cooperative agreement generally signals that the federal agency expects to be substantially involved in the project, such as coordinating on program content, ensuring alignment with NPS interpretive standards, participating in planning, or otherwise collaborating closely with the recipient to deliver the commemorative march and related educational activities.
The notice lists an award ceiling of $45,000 and anticipates a single award. Importantly, the posting is not an open competition.
