Opportunity Summary:
This notice is a public announcement from the United States Department of the Interior, National Park Service (NPS), stating its intent to make a single, non-competitive award for a project focused on post Hurricane Sandy submerged marine habitat mapping at Fire Island National Seashore. It is explicitly not a request for applications, meaning the NPS is not soliciting proposals from the general public or from other potential applicants. Instead, the purpose is to document and disclose that the agency plans to fund a specific set of project activities through an already established partnership mechanism.
The planned funding will be issued as a cooperative agreement, indicating that NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the work rather than simply providing funds with minimal federal participation. The award will be made under Task Agreement P14AC00236 with the University of Rhode Island, and it will be executed under an existing overarching agreement (P09AC00212, formerly referenced as H4503090700). Because it is a single-source action, eligibility is effectively limited to the named institution, and the funding announcement lists the University of Rhode Island as the sole eligible recipient.
Financially, the opportunity is structured as a single award with an estimated total funding amount of $385,000. The award ceiling and floor are both $385,000, which signals that NPS anticipated a fixed, defined project amount rather than a range of possible award sizes. The announcement also notes that there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is not expected to provide non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is categorized as discretionary and is associated with CFDA number 15.945, which covers Cooperative Research and Training Programs and resources of the National Park System. The notice was posted and created on April 24, 2014, with a very short public notice window reflected by an original and current closing date of April 29, 2014, and an archive date of April 30, 2014. The short timeline aligns with the fact that this is not a competitive process but a formal notification of an intended award decision.
For anyone seeking the official details, the notice directs readers to the attachment available through the "Full Announcement" link on Grants.gov, which would contain the complete justification and specific project information. For access issues related to the full announcement, the listed point of contact is Jennifer Fleming, NPS Northeast Region Agreements Officer, reachable by phone at 215-597-6476.
