Opportunity Summary:
This opportunity, titled "Resource Based Geospatial Data Collection, Analysis, and Delivery in Support of Enterprise based Geographic Information Systems for the Northeast Region of the National Park Service," is a National Park Service (NPS) notice stating the agency's intent to make an award under an existing cooperative framework rather than opening a competitive grant round. The announcement is explicitly labeled as a NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD and also emphasizes that it is NOT a request for applications. In practical terms, that means the NPS is not soliciting new proposals from the public; instead, it is publicly documenting that it plans to move forward with a specific partner and a specific agreement action.
The action described is Modification 0003 to Task Agreement J4531090765, which sits under Cooperative Agreement H4503090700, and the identified cooperator is the University of Rhode Island. The work scope, as indicated by the title and brief description, centers on collecting, analyzing, and delivering resource-based geospatial data in support of enterprise Geographic Information Systems (GIS) used by the NPS Northeast Region. This kind of work typically supports park and regional operations by improving the quality, consistency, and accessibility of spatial datasets used for natural and cultural resource management, planning, and decision-making across multiple park units. The announcement notes that the agreement will be entered into "without full and open competition," which is consistent with a modification to an existing task agreement rather than a new competitive funding opportunity.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is categorized as discretionary and uses a Cooperative Agreement funding instrument, indicating substantial involvement or collaboration between the federal agency and the recipient is expected, as opposed to a more hands-off grant. The funding activity category is listed under Environment and Natural Resources, and the associated CFDA number is 15.945, Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System, which aligns with research, training, and technical assistance activities that support NPS mission needs.
The expected number of awards is one, and the total funding is fixed at $97,770, with both the award ceiling and floor listed as $97,770. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. While the eligibility category shown includes public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, this is largely informational in this case because the notice is not open for competition and is tied to a specific institution (the University of Rhode Island) under an existing agreement vehicle.
Timing details further reinforce that this is not an open solicitation. The posting date is July 17, 2012, with an original and current closing date of July 22, 2012, and an archive date of July 23, 2012. Those dates function more as a public notice window than as an application period, since the NPS is not requesting submissions.
For anyone seeking additional documentation, the notice directs readers to an attachment under the "Full Announcement" section for complete details. The listed point of contact for access issues is Keith Zotti, Partnership Program Specialist, reachable by phone at 215-597-9153, with the reference "CESU Geospatial," suggesting the work is being managed within a Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Units (CESU) context focused on geospatial support.
