Opportunity Summary:
This grant notice is a National Park Service (NPS) announcement stating the agency's intent to make a single, noncompetitive cooperative agreement award to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. The purpose of the task agreement is to generate both underwater and topside imagery of NPS units specifically associated with Dry Tortugas National Park and Isle Royale National Park. In practical terms, the project focuses on producing visual documentation (imagery captured in and above the water) that supports NPS natural resource and park unit needs tied to those two locations.
The opportunity is categorized as a discretionary funding action and uses a Cooperative Agreement as the funding instrument, reflecting a collaboration-style relationship rather than a standard procurement contract. The activity falls under the Natural Resources category, and the listing is associated with CFDA number 15.916, which relates to Outdoor Recreation, Acquisition, Development and Planning. The notice indicates there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is not expected to provide additional non-federal funds to meet a match threshold.
The total estimated funding amount for the effort is $60,000, and the expected number of awards is one. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as $0, which is commonly seen in notices of intent or pre-announcements where the agency is not soliciting competing applications and is not using the listing to define a competitive range. This posting is not structured as an open competition: it explicitly states the award will be noncompetitive under cited Department of the Interior policy authority (505 DM 2.14 B. (2) and (4)), which is the basis the agency is using to justify making the award without soliciting proposals from other applicants.
Key dates show the posting was created June 17, 2010, posted June 18, 2010, and had an original and current closing date of June 21, 2010, with an archive date of June 22, 2010. The short window and the "notice of intent" framing reinforce that the NPS was publicly documenting an intended sole-source assistance action rather than seeking new submissions. While the listing shows eligible applicants as private institutions of higher education, the narrative makes clear that the intended recipient for this particular task agreement is Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution.
