Opportunity Summary:
This notice is a formal announcement from the U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI), Office of the Secretary, that it plans to issue a single, noncompetitive cooperative agreement to the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF). Rather than being an open grant competition where multiple applicants submit proposals, the DOI is signaling in advance that it has already identified the intended recipient and that the award will be made on a discretionary basis without competition. The opportunity is categorized under disaster prevention and relief, tying it directly to recovery and resilience efforts associated with Hurricane Sandy.
The core purpose of the agreement is administrative and fiduciary in nature. Under this award, NFWF is designated to act as the General Administrator (GA) for the Hurricane Sandy Coastal Resiliency Competitive Grants Program. In practical terms, that means NFWF would be responsible for managing the program on behalf of DOI, including oversight of funds and ensuring that the money is handled, tracked, and reported appropriately. The phrase "fiduciary responsibility" indicates that NFWF is expected to serve as the entity accountable for financial stewardship, compliance, and proper administration of program funds, rather than simply carrying out a single on-the-ground project.
Financially, the notice lists a very large maximum funding level, with an award ceiling of $102,500,000, and it anticipates only one award. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement stated, meaning the recipient is not required to provide matching funds as a condition of the award. The instrument type is a cooperative agreement, which typically implies substantial involvement by the federal agency in the funded effort, such as coordination, oversight, or collaboration during implementation, as distinct from a standard grant where the recipient operates more independently.
From an eligibility and application standpoint, the notice is explicit that DOI is not accepting applications. Although the eligibility field is broadly labeled (with a reference to "Others"), the accompanying eligibility information clarifies that this is strictly a notice of intent to issue a noncompetitive award, so there is no application process for outside organizations. The posting date and creation date are both August 6, 2013, with an original and current closing date of August 12, 2013, and an archive date of September 11, 2013. Those dates function more as a public notice period rather than a true submission window, since the agency is not soliciting proposals.
The announcement provides a point of contact for access issues related to the full posting: Anthony Jasper, Contract Specialist, via the listed work email. Overall, the notice serves primarily as a transparency step to inform the public that DOI intends to directly fund NFWF to manage and safeguard the financial and administrative operations of a competitive coastal resiliency grants program created in response to Hurricane Sandy impacts.
