Opportunity Summary:
Funding Opportunity Number P14AS00319, titled "Cooperative Agreement for Fire Protection," is a discretionary National Park Service (NPS) cooperative agreement that was posted on August 30, 2014 and closed on September 5, 2014 (archived September 12, 2014). The opportunity is categorized under Disaster Prevention and Relief, with the category explanation listed as Fire Assistance, and it is associated with CFDA numbers 15.949 (National Fire Plan) and Rural Fire Assistance. The total estimated funding amount is up to $1,000,000, which also serves as the award ceiling, with no stated minimum award amount (award floor is $0). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement identified.
This notice is explicitly a Notice of Intent to Award rather than a Request for Applications, meaning it was not an open competitive solicitation. Instead, it served as a public announcement that NPS intended to fund certain fire protection-related project activities without full and open competition. In practice, that means the agency anticipated moving forward with a specific partner or a limited set of partners, rather than inviting broad proposals from all potential applicants. The listing also indicates that funding for the work would be issued through individual Task Agreements under the umbrella of the cooperative agreement, so projects and funding obligations would likely be broken into separate, defined work packages over time rather than delivered as a single one-time grant award.
Eligibility is limited to county governments, suggesting the intended recipients were local governmental entities positioned to carry out fire protection, fire preparedness, mitigation, or assistance activities that align with NPS and broader National Fire Plan objectives. While the notice does not spell out individual project scopes, the context (Fire Assistance, National Fire Plan, and Rural Fire Assistance) signals a focus on supporting fire-related capacity and protection efforts, potentially including coordination between NPS units and local jurisdictions, prevention and preparedness initiatives, or operational support connected to wildfire risk and response.
For questions or issues accessing the full announcement, the notice lists the NPS contact as Yvonne Morales at (415) 464-5221 or yvonnemorales@nps.gov.
