In addition, the project promotes public and private participation in historic preservation through collaboration between the University of Pennsylvania, NPS, and concessioners.

SINGLE-SOURCE JUSTIFICATION DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR SINGLE SOURCE POLICY REQUIREMENTS Department of the Interior Policy (505 DM 2) requires a written justification which explains why competition is not practicable for each single-source award.
