Opportunity Summary:
This funding notice describes the National Park Service intent to make a single discretionary award, using a cooperative agreement, to support specialized underwater documentation work at Isle Royale National Park. The project focus is the creation of 3D high-definition imaging that can capture and preserve detailed visual records of underwater resources at the park, covering both natural features and cultural resources. In practical terms, the work is aimed at producing high-quality three-dimensional imagery that can be used to document, interpret, and manage submerged assets that are difficult to access and may be vulnerable to deterioration, disturbance, or loss over time.
The opportunity is not presented as an open competition. Instead, it is explicitly a notice of intent to award a task agreement to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution under an existing cooperative agreement. Because it is tied to an established agreement and a specified recipient, the eligibility is effectively limited and the announcement functions mainly as a public notice rather than a solicitation for new applicants. The National Park Service lists the funding activity under an "Other" category with an explanation pointing to Underwater Cultural Resources, aligning the effort with cultural resources management priorities while also acknowledging the natural underwater environment as part of the documentation target.
The funding details indicate an estimated total award amount of $59,982, with an expected number of awards set to one. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated, meaning the recipient is not expected to provide a non-federal match as a condition of the award. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as zero, which commonly appears in notices where the agency is not using those fields to define a competitive range, or where the amount is handled through the referenced task agreement rather than through a standard competitive grant structure.
Key timing information shows the notice was posted and created on June 7, 2011, with an original and current closing date of June 8, 2011, and an archive date of June 9, 2011. That short window is consistent with an intent-to-award notice where the recipient is pre-identified and the purpose is to meet transparency and public notice expectations rather than to collect and review proposals. The opportunity is associated with CFDA number 15.946, Cultural Resources Management, which further indicates the work supports stewardship and documentation responsibilities tied to cultural heritage resources under federal management.
For administrative or access issues related to the full announcement, the listed point of contact is Trish Fresquez Hernandez, Contract Specialist, reachable by phone at 505-988-6122. The issuing agency is the National Park Service, and the central purpose remains the generation of 3D high-definition underwater imaging to document Isle Royale National Park's submerged natural and cultural "wonders," creating durable records that can support management decisions, resource protection, and potentially public interpretation.
