Opportunity Summary:
This notice is a National Park Service (NPS) announcement stating its intent to make a single, non-competitive cooperative agreement award for work focused on Geographic Information System (GIS) research and development supporting the NPS Northeast Region. It is explicitly not a request for applications and is being posted to satisfy public notice requirements for an award the agency intends to make without full and open competition. In other words, the NPS is signaling that it plans to fund a specific set of project activities with a specific partner rather than run an open competition where multiple applicants submit proposals.
The opportunity is identified as Funding Opportunity Number NPS 15 NERO 0127, titled "NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD - Geographic Information System Research and Development for the Northeast Region of the National Park Service." It falls under the discretionary funding category and uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, which generally indicates substantial involvement by the federal agency in carrying out the project compared to a standard grant. The activity category is Natural Resources, aligning the GIS work with natural resource management, planning, inventorying, monitoring, or related operational needs within the National Park System.
Financially, the notice indicates an expected single award with a total estimated funding amount of $106,920. The award floor and ceiling are both listed as $106,920, meaning the NPS anticipated a fixed award amount rather than a range. No cost sharing or matching is required, so the recipient would not be expected to contribute a specified portion of project costs as a condition of the award.
For timing and recordkeeping, the opportunity was posted and created on August 14, 2015, with an original and current closing date of August 23, 2015, and an archive date of September 22, 2015. Since this is not an open solicitation, the "closing date" functions more as the public notice window rather than an application deadline in the traditional sense.
The notice references CFDA number 15.945, associated with Cooperative Research and Training Programs and Resources of the National Park System, which signals the broader federal assistance program framework under which this cooperative agreement would be made. Eligibility is listed generally as "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," but the central point of the notice is that it is not inviting applications, so eligibility details are secondary to the intent-to-award statement.
The awarding agency is the National Park Service. The point of contact for access issues with the full announcement is Patrick Reidy, Grants Management Specialist, reachable by phone at 215-597-5949, with an NPS email address referenced but not fully provided in the excerpt.
