Opportunity Summary:
This notice describes a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding action titled "NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD - Resource Based Geospatial and Enterprise GIS Support to the Northeast Region of the National Park Service" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 15 NERO 0113). It is not a competitive grant solicitation and it is not asking the public to submit applications. Instead, it serves as a formal public announcement that the NPS intends to make a single award for specific project activities without full and open competition. In practical terms, the agency is signaling that it plans to directly fund a particular partner or recipient to carry out defined work, rather than running an open competition where multiple applicants could propose approaches.
The intended funding mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates that NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project as it is carried out (for example, collaboration on planning, technical direction, data standards, coordination, or review of deliverables). The work falls under the "Natural Resources" activity category and is tied to resource-based geospatial support and enterprise GIS (Geographic Information System) support for the NPS Northeast Region. While the notice does not provide a detailed scope of work in the text provided, the title and category point to activities like managing and supporting geospatial datasets, producing GIS analyses and maps to support natural resource management, and helping maintain or enhance region-wide enterprise GIS capabilities used across parks and programs.
The opportunity is associated with CFDA number 15.945, which covers Cooperative Research and Training Programs related to Resources of the National Park System. The posting date and creation date are both August 5, 2015. The original and current closing date listed is August 14, 2015, and the archive date is August 15, 2015. Because this is a notice of intent to award rather than a request for proposals, these dates function more like an administrative posting window for public awareness rather than an application deadline for competing submissions.
Funding details are very specific and fixed, reflecting the pre-identified nature of the award. NPS anticipates making exactly one award (Expected Awards: 1) with an estimated total funding amount of $188,397. The award ceiling and award floor are both $188,397, meaning the planned award amount is set at that exact level rather than offered as a range. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is not expected to provide a non-federal match as a condition of the award.
Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," but the central point is that the announcement explicitly states the agency intends to fund the project activities without full and open competition. That language generally indicates that the recipient is already selected or otherwise justified under an allowable noncompetitive process, and the public notice is being provided for transparency.
For questions or for help accessing the full announcement electronically, the notice provides a point of contact: Patrick Reidy, Grants Management Specialist, telephone 215-597-5949, with an NPS email contact referenced in the listing.
