Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Emergency Dispatch Services" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOI 15 GUIS 67073), is a National Park Service (NPS) Notice of Intent to Award rather than an open solicitation. In practical terms, it is not inviting applications or proposals from the public. Instead, it serves as a formal public notice that NPS plans to make a single, non-competitive Cooperative Agreement under Department of the Interior policy (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C). The announcement was posted on July 22, 2015, with an original and final closing date of July 29, 2015, and it was later archived on August 28, 2015.
The purpose of the cooperative agreement is to provide emergency communications and dispatch support tied to law enforcement and public safety operations for Gulf Islands National Seashore, specifically for incidents occurring within park boundaries or otherwise involving the Florida District staff. The communications center functions as an operational hub for public-facing emergency services such as law enforcement response, fire, rescue, and emergency medical calls. Beyond simply receiving calls, the dispatch function includes coordinating and sending park personnel to emergency and service incidents, maintaining situational awareness of field staff, and supporting on-the-ground operations in real time.
Operationally, the work described covers several core dispatch and communications responsibilities. The communications center tracks law enforcement rangers and lifeguards throughout their shifts, providing a continuous safety link for staff working in potentially risky conditions. It also supplies a "life line" and computer data connection for rangers engaged in law enforcement contacts and investigations, which can include tasks like checking information, logging events, and ensuring ranger safety during interactions. In addition, the center facilitates requests for outside resources when park incidents require support beyond NPS capacity, helping coordinate responses with other agencies and emergency services.
The funding opportunity is categorized as discretionary and uses a Cooperative Agreement as the funding instrument. The activity category is listed as consumer protection, and the associated CFDA number is 15.954 (National Park Service Conservation, Protection, Outreach, and Education). The estimated total funding amount is $65,063, with no stated award ceiling or floor. Cost sharing or matching is not required.
Eligibility is effectively limited because this is a single-source, non-competitive action. The notice states that NPS intends to award directly to the Gulf Breeze Police Department, meaning other applicants are not being considered and there is no application process tied to this announcement. For questions or access issues related to the full announcement, the listed point of contact is Rose McClelland, Contracting Specialist, at 504-589-3882 or rosemcclelland@nps.gov.
