Opportunity Summary:
This notice describes a National Park Service (NPS) intent to make a single, non-competitive cooperative agreement award for a specific natural resources project at Canaveral National Seashore. It is not a request for applications and is being posted primarily to provide public transparency that NPS plans to fund a defined set of project activities under an existing cooperative agreement mechanism (Cooperative Agreement H5000105040), rather than seeking full and open competition.
The project is titled "Compilation and Summary of Data to Assess Potential Impacts of Commercial and Recreational Fisheries on Marine Resources at Canaveral National Seashore." In practical terms, the work centers on gathering, compiling, and synthesizing existing information that can help the park understand how fishing activity, both commercial and recreational, may affect marine resources within or associated with Canaveral National Seashore. The emphasis in the title is on data compilation and summary, meaning the deliverables are likely to involve organizing available datasets and producing analytical summaries or reports that can support future management decisions, planning, or resource protection actions. The activity category is Natural Resources, which aligns with resource assessment and management support rather than construction or visitor services.
The opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number P15AS00386 and is associated with CFDA 15.954, "National Park Service Conservation, Protection, Outreach, and Education." The estimated total funding amount is $65,324. The posting indicates one expected award, with no stated award ceiling or floor (both shown as 0, which is common in notices where the amount is already determined or where the listing format does not use ceiling/floor fields in the typical way). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement noted.
Eligibility is shown as "Private institutions of higher education," which suggests the intended recipient is likely a private university or similar academic institution positioned to conduct or support the technical data work. Because this is a notice of intent to award without full and open competition, the listing is essentially an announcement that NPS plans to proceed with a specific partner and agreement vehicle, rather than inviting new proposals from other organizations.
Key dates show the notice was posted on September 3, 2015, with an original/current closing date of September 13, 2015, and an archive date of September 14, 2015. In the context of an intent-to-award notice, the "closing date" functions more as a public notice period rather than a deadline for submitting applications, since applications are not being solicited.
For access to the full announcement details, the listing points to Grants.gov, and it provides a contact for assistance: Sandra Newton, Awarding Officer, at 305-242-7028 or SandraNewton@nps.gov.
