Opportunity Information: Apply for NPS 17 NERO 0061
The National Park Service (NPS), an agency within the U.S. Department of the Interior, issued a public notice titled "Independence Visitor Center - Operation, Use and Maintenance" (Funding Opportunity Number: NPS 17 NERO 0061). The notice makes clear that it is not a solicitation and not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as a formal announcement that NPS intends to make a single financial assistance award on a non-competitive basis to support specific project activities related to the Independence Visitor Center, focused on its ongoing operation, use, and maintenance.
The opportunity is categorized as a discretionary funding action and will be carried out through a cooperative agreement, meaning NPS expects to remain actively involved in the project rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back. The funded work is placed under the "Education" funding activity category, and the listing is associated with CFDA number 15.954. While the public notice indicates eligibility as "Others," it also points readers to an additional eligibility clarification section (not included in the provided text), which typically signals that the intended recipient may be a particular type of organization or partner already aligned with the project and mission.
From a funding and award structure standpoint, NPS anticipates making one award, with an award ceiling of $360,400. The announcement was created on July 19, 2017, and the original closing date is listed as July 28, 2017. In contexts like this, the closing date generally functions more as an administrative posting window and public notice period rather than a competitive application deadline, since the agency has already stated its intention to proceed without competition.
Overall, the key takeaway is that this is a notice of intent to award a cooperative agreement for operational and maintenance-related activities at the Independence Visitor Center, and it is not an open grant competition. The document primarily exists to ensure transparency and public awareness of the planned non-competitive financial assistance award, including the basic administrative details such as the funding number, agency, instrument type, estimated funding limit, and expected number of awards.Apply for NPS 17 NERO 0061
