Opportunity Summary:
This notice is a National Park Service (NPS), U.S. Department of the Interior announcement stating the agency's intent to make a non-competitive funding action for geospatial work supporting the NPS Northeast Region (NER). It is explicitly not a request for applications and is being posted only to provide public notice that the NPS plans to add funding to an existing agreement rather than open the work to competition.
The action is described as a modification to add funds to an existing Task Agreement (P09AC00238) under an existing Cooperative Agreement (P09AC00212) with the University of Rhode Island (URI). In practical terms, this means the NPS is continuing or expanding ongoing project activities with the same partner, using the cooperative agreement mechanism, which typically involves substantial involvement by the federal agency alongside the recipient.
The project scope is framed around "resource-based geospatial data collection, analysis and delivery" in support of an enterprise GIS capability for the NPS Northeast Region. While the notice does not list technical deliverables in the text provided, the title and description indicate the work centers on gathering geospatial data relevant to park resources, analyzing that data, and packaging or delivering it in formats that integrate into an enterprise GIS environment used across the region. This kind of effort commonly supports consistent mapping, spatial analysis, and decision-making across multiple park units by standardizing datasets and making them accessible through shared systems.
This is a single-source award to URI, identified as a state-controlled institution of higher learning, and the announcement emphasizes that it will be made without full and open competition. The opportunity is categorized as discretionary and uses the Cooperative Agreement funding instrument. The CFDA listing included is 15.945, Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System, which aligns with research, technical support, and capacity-building activities that benefit NPS resource management.
Funding is fixed and specific in this notice: the estimated total funding is $95,170, and both the award ceiling and award floor are also $95,170, signaling an intended single award at that exact amount. The notice anticipates one award, requires no cost sharing or matching, and lists eligibility in a way that effectively limits participation because the action is a notice of intent for a single-source award rather than an open competition.
Key dates show it was posted on August 28, 2014, with an original and current closing date of September 2, 2014, and an archive date of September 3, 2014. Since it is not a solicitation, the "closing" functions more as the end of the public notice period rather than a deadline to submit proposals.
For anyone needing more details beyond the short description, the notice directs readers to the attachment available through the "Full Announcement" link (as it appeared on Grants.gov). The listed point of contact is Jennifer Fleming, NPS NER Agreements Officer, at 215-597-6476, for help accessing the announcement materials electronically.
