Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Collaborative Marine Science Education for NPS Bay Area Network" (Funding Opportunity Number: NPS NOIP11AT80838) is a National Park Service discretionary funding action focused on natural resources and, specifically, marine science education connected to the National Park Service Bay Area Network. It is structured as a cooperative agreement action and is tied to an existing cooperative agreement framework rather than being opened up as a standard competitive solicitation. The listing appears under CFDA 15.944, Natural Resource Stewardship, which aligns with education and stewardship activities that support the management and protection of park resources.
A key point of this notice is that it is not a request for proposals and is not intended to solicit applications from the general public or multiple organizations. Instead, it is a Notice of Intent for a single-source, noncompetitive award. The announcement states that the action will be issued as a Task Agreement Award under Cooperative Agreement Number H8380080033, meaning the work is being implemented as a task-level agreement under a broader, pre-existing cooperative agreement vehicle. The justification for issuing the award without competition is referenced as being consistent with DOI policy (DOI 505 DM 2.12C), which covers circumstances where a noncompetitive, single-source approach is permitted.
The intended recipient is explicitly identified: Point Reyes National Seashore Association. Although the eligibility field in the source data lists "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," the eligibility clarification is direct and unambiguous in the announcement: this posting is solely to document the intent to make a single-source award to that organization. As a result, other prospective applicants should interpret the listing as informational rather than as an open opportunity to apply.
In terms of funding, the estimated total funding is $86,188, and the award ceiling is also $86,188, indicating that the full anticipated award amount is capped at that level with no higher amount expected under this notice. The opportunity anticipates a single award (Expected Awards: 1). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is not required to provide matching funds as a condition of receiving the award.
The timeline reflects the administrative nature of the notice. It was posted and created on August 13, 2011, with an original and current closing date of August 17, 2011, and an archive date of September 16, 2011. These short windows are common for noncompetitive notices of intent because the agency is not conducting a full competitive review process; instead, the notice serves transparency and documentation purposes prior to finalizing the task agreement award.
For access issues or questions about the announcement materials, the listed point of contact is Yvonne Morales, Contract Specialist, at 415-464-5221 or yvonnemorales@nps.gov. The notice also mentions that additional details are contained in an attached announcement, which would typically provide more specifics on the scope of work, expected deliverables, period of performance, and how the marine science education activities support the NPS Bay Area Network.
