Opportunity Information: Apply for P17AS00669
The "ADA Inspection at Horace M. Albright Training Center" opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P17AS00669) is a National Park Service (NPS) cooperative agreement initiative under the U.S. Department of the Interior. It focuses on developing and applying a comprehensive Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for conducting accessibility reviews aligned with ADA expectations, using the Horace M. Albright Training Center as the setting for the inspection work. The larger purpose is not just a one-time facility review, but the creation of a consistent, repeatable model that can guide how accessibility assessments are carried out across NPS sites and, by extension, beyond NPS.
A key theme in the description is standard-setting. State agencies, local governments, and private organizations such as parks, museums, and similar public-serving facilities are also required to evaluate accessibility in their buildings and programs. By formalizing a strong SOP, NPS is positioning its process as an industry benchmark that other organizations can adopt and adapt. In practical terms, this means the work is intended to produce something usable: a structured method, steps, and best practices for how to inspect facilities for accessibility barriers and document findings in a way that supports compliance planning and improvements.
The opportunity also reflects a training and knowledge-transfer angle tied to NCA, which is described as frequently being asked by outside entities to either perform accessibility assessments for them or teach them how to do assessments themselves. When those requests happen, NCA would be able to rely on the NPS-developed SOP as a proven model. In addition, NCA runs open accessibility courses attended by state, local, and private participants, and those courses often highlight NPS methods and best practices. The SOP produced through this effort would be folded into these trainings, effectively extending the impact from a single training center inspection to broader capacity-building across the field.
Administratively, this is categorized as a discretionary opportunity using a cooperative agreement funding instrument, with an activity category listed as Employment, Labor and Training and a CFDA number of 15.954. The anticipated federal funding amount is relatively modest, with an award ceiling of $41,000 and an expectation of one award. Eligible applicants are limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, indicating the project is meant to be carried out with an academic or university-affiliated partner that can support technical assessment work and training-oriented deliverables.
Importantly, the posting functions as a Notice of Intent rather than an open competition. The original closing information states that no applications are being accepted because the task agreement is being awarded under an existing cooperative agreement (P15AC00795) that was previously selected through a competitive process. In other words, this notice is primarily informational: it describes the purpose, scope, and expected award details for a task that NPS plans to fund through an already-established partnership mechanism, rather than inviting new proposals at the time of publication (creation date: August 16, 2017).Apply for P17AS00669
