America 250: National Signature Program Planning
Introduction As stated in the United States Semiquincentennial Commission Act of 2016 (Public Law 114-196), Congress established the United States Semiquincentennial Commission (the "Commission") to provide for the observance and commemoration of the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States. Through planning, encouraging, developing, and coordinating local, state, national, and international activities the Commission is advancing planning and programming. The America 250 Foundation, the nonprofit partner of the Commission seeks national expertise from qualified firms to establish a highlevel conceptual framework for "National Signature Programs" (NSP). The selected contractor will provide the America 250 Foundation with no less than 12 program concepts for consideration. These preliminary concepts will provide the Foundation, and in turn, the Commission, with a portfolio of program ideas, capable of being advanced/scoped for implementation.
