The National Park Service (NPS) within the U.S. Department of the Interior is seeking applications for the Experienced Services Program, a cooperative agreement program that will provide opportunities for experienced workers aged 55 and older to support NPS projects and initiatives. Eligible applicants are non-profit organizations exempt under 26 USC 501(c)(3) and designated by the Secretary of Labor under Title V of the Older Americans Act. The program seeks to augment the capacity of parks and provide needed subject-matter expertise to address short-term needs, unanticipated workloads, and new initiatives. The application deadline is July 22, 2024, and the evaluation criteria will focus on the applicant's qualifications and ability to meet the program's objectives.
NPS anticipates awarding approximately $6 million annually in cooperative agreement task orders ranging from $20,000 to $100,000 per project, with an anticipated award date of October 1, 2024 and a period of performance up to 5 years. The program will be assigned to the NPS's Experienced Services Program under CFDA #15.011, and the place of performance will be at various NPS locations across the United States.
