Opportunity Summary:
This opportunity, titled "Reinterpret Bostons Old State House Via New Exhibits, Interactive Media, and Programming," is a National Park Service (NPS) funding action under the U.S. Department of the Interior that was posted as a formal Notice of Intent to Award rather than a competitive grant solicitation. In practical terms, it was issued to notify the public that NPS intended to move forward with a specific cooperative agreement for a defined set of project activities, and it explicitly states that it is not a request for applications. Because of that, outside organizations were not being invited to submit proposals, and the award was not being competed through a full and open competition process.
The planned award mechanism was a Cooperative Agreement, indicating a partnership-style arrangement where NPS typically expects substantial involvement in carrying out the project, as opposed to a more hands-off grant. The identified cooperator was the Bostonian Society, and the specific agreement referenced was Cooperative Agreement P12AC31104. The project focus, as reflected in the title and classification, centered on improving interpretation and visitor engagement at Bostons Old State House through new exhibits, interactive media components, and public programming. The opportunity was categorized under community development and environment/natural resources, and it was tied to cultural resources management through CFDA number 15.946, which aligns with historic preservation and interpretation-type work.
Financially, the announcement listed an estimated total funding amount of $100,000, with an award floor and ceiling both set at $100,000, meaning the expected single award amount was fixed at that level. The notice anticipated only one award. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement stated, so the recipient was not required to provide non-federal match as a condition of the award, at least as reflected in the summary data.
Eligibility information in the posting referenced nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education). Even though eligibility language is included in the source data, the substance of the notice makes clear the action was intended for a specific partner (the Bostonian Society) and was not open for other applicants to compete. Key dates show the announcement was posted on August 30, 2012, with an original and current closing date of September 4, 2012, and it was archived on September 5, 2012, consistent with the timeline of a short public notice period for an intended noncompetitive award.
For anyone needing the official attachment and complete details, the notice directed users to the full announcement materials referenced on the posting page. The listed point of contact for access issues was Keith Zotti, Partnership Program Specialist, reachable by phone at 215-597-9153, with the project associated with Bostons Old State House.
