Opportunity Summary:
The San Francisco Maritime NHP Small Craft Documentation Project (Funding Opportunity Number P16AS00177) is a National Park Service grant notice issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI-NPS) under CFDA 15.946. It was posted and created on May 20, 2016, with a listed closing date of June 3, 2016. The opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding and uses the grant instrument type, with the funding activity category listed as "Other" (with clarification referenced in the original posting).
What stands out most about this announcement is that it is explicitly not a request for applications. Instead, it functions as a public notice that the National Park Service intended to fund specific project activities without full and open competition. In practical terms, that typically means the agency planned to make a direct award (or otherwise limited-competition award) to a specific organization or partner, rather than inviting the general public to apply through a standard competitive process.
The notice indicates an anticipated single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an award ceiling of $148,050. Eligibility is broadly labeled as "Others," with additional eligibility details presumably provided in the full announcement text referenced by the posting, but the summary data itself does not specify standard categories like state governments, universities, or nonprofits. The project title suggests the funded work focuses on documentation related to small craft associated with San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park, likely involving recording, cataloging, historical research, condition documentation, or similar preservation-oriented documentation activities consistent with maritime museum and historic vessel stewardship, though the brief description provided does not list specific tasks or deliverables.
Overall, this is best understood as an informational, compliance-oriented posting: it signals that NPS planned to direct grant funding for a specific maritime documentation project, identifies the basic administrative details (agency, program number, dates, amount, and expected number of awards), and clarifies that members of the public should not interpret it as an open call for proposals.
