Opportunity Summary:
This notice is a public announcement from the U.S. Department of the Interior, U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) stating its intent to make a single, specific award for a data collection and acquisition effort focused on areas near Walla Walla, Washington and surrounding regions. It is explicitly labeled a "Notice of Intent to Award," which means the agency is not soliciting proposals from the public and is not running a competitive application process for this work. Instead, USGS is signaling that it plans to fund identified project activities through a non-competitive action, with the details and justification typically provided in the official attachment(s) referenced as "Related Documents" on Grants.gov.
The opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number USGS 16 FA 0252 and uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument. A cooperative agreement generally indicates that USGS expects to have substantial involvement in the project during performance, such as collaborating on technical direction, data standards, quality assurance, or integration of the collected information into USGS systems or analyses. The activity category is broadly labeled as "Other," and the eligibility field is also broad ("Others"), which is common for notices that are not open competitions and are aimed at a particular partner or recipient rather than the general applicant pool.
Financially, the notice identifies an award ceiling of $142,000 and anticipates one award in total. The posting shows a creation date of June 30, 2016 and an original closing date of July 14, 2016; in the context of an intent-to-award notice, the closing date usually functions more like an administrative timeline marker for the public posting period rather than a deadline for applications, since applications are not being requested.
In practical terms, the main takeaway is that USGS is documenting its plan to fund a targeted data acquisition project (referenced in the title as involving Kitsap County, WA data collection and data acquisition near Walla Walla and adjacent regions) without full and open competition. Anyone seeking the specific scope of work, recipient information, or the rationale for limiting competition would need to consult the posted "Related Documents" associated with the notice on Grants.gov, since the brief listing text primarily serves as the formal public notice rather than a full project description.
