Opportunity Information: Apply for NPS NOI 17 NATC 22861
The Joint Operations and Maintenance of the Natchez Visitor Reception Center opportunity is a National Park Service (NPS) Notice of Intent (NOI) to issue a non-competitive cooperative agreement under Department of the Interior policy (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C). In practical terms, this means the NPS is signaling its plan to continue an existing partnership arrangement rather than running a full open competition, with the goal of sustaining the shared day-to-day operation and upkeep of the Natchez Visitor Reception Center (NVRC) in Natchez, Mississippi.
The core purpose of the project is to keep the NVRC functioning as a jointly operated and maintained facility managed collaboratively by the National Park Service and the City of Natchez. The announcement emphasizes continuity: the work is about maintaining and continuing an established joint visitor services model rather than launching a new construction project or creating a new visitor facility from scratch. The cooperative agreement structure also suggests that NPS expects to remain actively involved in carrying out the project, coordinating responsibilities and participating in ongoing operations alongside the partner entity.
The NVRC is described as a centralized hub for visitor orientation and tourism services in the Natchez area. It houses several key functions under one roof, including the Mississippi Welcome Center, the administrative offices for Natchez National Historical Park, Natchez Pilgrimage Tours, and the City of Natchez Visitor Information Services. The intent is to provide a consolidated, "one-stop-shop" experience where travelers can get an introduction to local history and attractions using modern exhibits and interpretive materials, while also accessing practical travel assistance.
From a visitor perspective, the NVRC supports a mix of educational and transactional services. The facility provides orientation to the history of the local area through state-of-the-art exhibits, and it also supports trip planning needs such as travel information, ticket purchases, access to home tours, and information on local events. The overall public benefit is improved coordination and consistency in how visitors are welcomed, informed, and directed to cultural and historical resources tied to Natchez National Historical Park and the surrounding community.
Administratively, the opportunity is listed as a discretionary funding action from the Department of the Interior, National Park Service, using a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument. The funding activity category is Natural Resources, and it is associated with CFDA number 15.946. The posting indicates an expectation of one award. The award ceiling is listed as 0, which typically signals that the specific funding amount is not provided in the summarized listing and may be defined in the full announcement or negotiated as part of the cooperative agreement.
Key listing details include the funding opportunity number (NPS NOI 17 NATC 22861), an original posting date of April 12, 2017, and an original closing date of April 21, 2017. Eligibility is broadly labeled as "Others," with the note that applicants should consult the additional eligibility information in the full announcement for clarification. The notice repeatedly directs interested parties to the full announcement attachment for the operational specifics, formal scope, and any additional requirements tied to the continuation of joint operations and maintenance at the NVRC.Apply for NPS NOI 17 NATC 22861
