Opportunity Summary:
The Department of the Interior, National Park Service (NPS) published a discretionary funding notice titled "Notice of Intent to award CA to Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission" (Funding Opportunity Number P16AS00271) to support natural resource management work in the state of Florida. The funding instrument is a Cooperative Agreement, and the activity focus is Natural Resources under CFDA 15.954. The notice was created on June 20, 2016, with an original closing date of June 30, 2016.
This announcement is not a competitive grant solicitation. It is a formal notice of intent indicating that NPS plans to make a single award to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission through a new Master Cooperative Agreement. Instead of a one-time stand-alone project, the structure described is an umbrella agreement under which NPS would issue individual task orders over time. Those task orders would define specific scopes of work, deliverables, periods of performance, and funding allocations as resource management needs arise.
The opportunity is explicitly described as a single-source requirement, meaning the agency has determined that the work will be fulfilled by the named partner and that it will not open the opportunity to other applicants. As a result, no applications will be accepted and there is no competitive application process. While the notice lists broad categories of eligible applicants (including state governments, certain nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status, and for-profit organizations other than small businesses), that eligibility language is standard formatting for the posting and does not change the single-source nature of this action.
The anticipated award amount has an award ceiling of $800,000, and the expected number of awards is one. In practical terms, that ceiling reflects the maximum amount expected to be obligated under the agreement framework at the time of the notice, with the understanding that funding would be implemented through the subsequent task orders tied to specific natural resource management activities in Florida.
