Opportunity Summary:
This opportunity, titled "Provide park-wide law enforcement dispatch services for Padre Island National Seashore" (Funding Opportunity Number NPSNOIPAIS14000870004), is a National Park Service (NPS) notice that it intends to make an award action rather than a call for proposals. It is listed as a discretionary funding opportunity under the Department of the Interior, National Park Service (DOI-NPS), using a Cooperative Agreement as the funding instrument, and it falls under the Natural Resources activity category with CFDA number 15.944. The notice was created and posted on January 7, 2016, with a listed closing date of January 17, 2016, and it anticipates a single award.
The core purpose is to support emergency, park-wide law enforcement dispatch services for Padre Island National Seashore. Dispatch services in this context generally mean receiving emergency and non-emergency calls, coordinating communications, and routing law enforcement or emergency responses as needed across the park. The NPS indicates that the action will be a non-competitive modification to an existing cooperative agreement, specifically with the Kleberg County Sheriffs Office. In other words, the federal agency is planning to amend or extend an existing partnership arrangement with that office to continue or adjust the provision of dispatch coverage for the seashore rather than starting a new competition open to multiple applicants.
A key point is that the announcement explicitly states it is not a request for applications. It is issued under the authority of 505 DM 2.12, which is cited as the basis for providing public notice when an agency intends to proceed with a non-competitive award or modification. Although the eligibility field is broadly labeled as "Others" with a note to see additional eligibility information, the text makes clear that the intended recipient is the Kleberg County Sheriffs Office and that the award action is non-competitive, meaning outside entities are not being invited to submit proposals for selection.
Financially, the listing shows an award ceiling of 0, which typically signals that the public synopsis is not specifying a maximum dollar amount in this posting (often because the amount is set within the existing agreement or will be determined through the modification). The notice expects one award, consistent with the stated intent to modify an existing cooperative agreement with a single local law enforcement partner to ensure dispatch services for the park.
