Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS), within the U.S. Department of the Interior, issued a "Notice of Intent to Award" for a project titled "War of 1812 Signage in Bladensburg MD." This notice is specifically not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as a public notification that NPS planned to enter into a cooperative agreement for this work without full and open competition. In practical terms, the agency had already identified its intended partner and was publishing the announcement to document that decision and provide transparency.
The funding instrument for this opportunity is a cooperative agreement, reflecting a relationship where NPS expects to be substantially involved in the project rather than simply providing a grant and stepping back. The specific agreement referenced is Cooperative Agreement P13AC00787, and the identified cooperator is Anacostia Trails Heritage Area, Inc. The project’s activity focus is interpretive signage, which typically includes researching and developing historically accurate content, designing and producing durable outdoor signs, and installing them in public-facing locations so visitors can better understand the War of 1812 history connected to Bladensburg, Maryland.
The opportunity is categorized as discretionary, with the funding activity listed under "Other" and clarified as interpretive signage. It is associated with CFDA number 15.935, National Trails System Projects, indicating the project aligns with trail-related interpretation or heritage corridor goals, such as enhancing visitor experiences and educating the public along historically significant routes or landscapes.
Financially, the announcement indicates an estimated total funding amount of $55,120, with both the award ceiling and award floor set at $55,120. That structure signals NPS expected to make one single award in a fixed amount rather than a range of possible award sizes. The listing also indicates a cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the partner was expected to contribute non-federal resources (cash and/or in-kind services) as part of the total project cost, consistent with many cooperative agreements tied to heritage and interpretation work.
Although this notice was not open for competition, it still specifies general eligibility categories. Eligible applicants are nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). In this case, however, the notice makes clear the intended recipient was Anacostia Trails Heritage Area, Inc., and the announcement’s purpose was to inform the public rather than to solicit proposals from other organizations.
The key dates show how brief and procedural this posting was: it was posted on July 9, 2013, with an original and current closing date of July 14, 2013, then archived on July 15, 2013. That short window is typical for notices intended to document an intent to award rather than manage a competitive application process.
For administrative or access issues related to the full announcement attachment, the notice provides a contact: Peggy Wall, Administrative Officer, reachable by phone at 410-260-2473. The announcement also references an NPS office email, though the email address itself is not included in the provided text.
