Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity is a National Park Service (NPS) notice of intent to make a single discretionary award using a cooperative agreement mechanism. Rather than being an open, competitive solicitation, it signals the NPS plan to issue a task agreement under an already existing cooperative agreement with Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI). The core purpose is to assess whether 3D high-definition camera systems can be used effectively to generate photogrammetric, volumetric 3D models of submerged underwater sites across areas managed by the NPS. In practical terms, the work is about testing and validating an underwater imaging and modeling approach that could support documentation, mapping, and potentially monitoring of submerged cultural or natural resources within NPS jurisdiction.
The activity sits in the Natural Resources funding category and is associated with CFDA number 15.916, listed as Outdoor Recreation - Acquisition, Development and Planning. The estimated total funding amount is $52,000, with an expectation of one award. The posting and creation date were July 18, 2012, with an original and current closing date of July 19, 2012, and an archive date of July 20, 2012, reflecting the short timeline typical of notices of intent tied to a specific partner and an existing agreement vehicle. Cost sharing or matching is required, indicating that the recipient is expected to contribute some portion of resources (cash or in-kind support) alongside federal funds, although the specific match ratio is not provided in the source data. The award ceiling and floor are both shown as $0, which commonly appears in certain announcement formats when the agency is not using those fields to define a competitive range, especially for a task agreement issued under an existing cooperative framework.
Eligibility is effectively limited by design. While the listing uses a broad label of "Others (see text field...)," the eligibility text makes clear that the intended recipient is Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution through an existing cooperative agreement. This means other organizations would not realistically be able to apply for this specific task agreement opportunity, because it is structured as an intent to award to a named partner rather than an open call for proposals.
For administrative questions or issues accessing the announcement, the listed point of contact is Trish Fresquez Hernandez, Contract Specialist, reachable by phone at 505-988-6122, with the agency identified as the National Park Service.
