Opportunity Information: Apply for NOIP16AC00501
This notice describes a National Park Service (NPS) funding action related to Pullman National Monument, but it is explicitly not a request for proposals or applications. Instead, it serves as public notice that the NPS intends to make a single, non-competitive cooperative agreement award to a specific partner: the Historic Pullman Foundation. The opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number NOIP16AC00501, categorized as "Other," with a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument. The CFDA number associated with the program is 15.406. Although an "OriginalClosingDate" of 2016-06-20 is shown, the text makes clear that the agency is not soliciting submissions; the date functions more like an administrative marker than an invitation to apply.
The project itself focuses on creating and improving visitor-facing interpretation at the temporary visitor information center used for Pullman National Monument. The work includes development of two interpretive products to be used on-site: first, an improved and updated film that tells the Pullman story, and second, an interactive three-dimensional map of the park. The film component is described as a continuation and revision of an existing film that the Historic Pullman Foundation created about twenty years earlier and has been showing at the shared visitor center. The rationale is that updating an established product with the same partner is more efficient than starting from scratch and funding an entirely new film for a temporary facility. The map component builds on the Foundation's prior mapping efforts that have helped visitors understand Pullman's planned factory complex and integrated residential community, with the new deliverable specifically incorporating updated monument boundaries and adding a three-dimensional element to strengthen visitor comprehension of the site.
The reason the NPS is proceeding without competition is framed around "unique qualifications." The Historic Pullman Foundation is identified as uniquely qualified because it owns and operates the Historic Pullman Foundation Visitor Center, which currently serves as the temporary NPS visitor center while a permanent NPS facility is pending construction. Beyond that location-based advantage, the Foundation is portrayed as deeply embedded in the Pullman community, with long-standing experience in the area, volunteer capacity, strong local relationships, and extensive subject-matter familiarity with Pullman history and stories. These factors are presented as demonstrable justifications for selecting the Foundation as the sole partner for this work.
In practical terms, the announcement outlines a single expected award with an award ceiling of $36,000 and an expectation of one funded project. Eligible applicants are listed broadly as "Others," but the narrative clarifies that the NPS intends to fund the Historic Pullman Foundation specifically and that the announcement is meant to document that intent publicly rather than open a competitive process.Apply for NOIP16AC00501
