Opportunity Summary:
The Seabird Habitat Restoration on Channel Islands funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P14AS00323) is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary grant action posted as a Notice of Intent to Award rather than a competitive solicitation. In practical terms, it is not a Request for Applications and it is not inviting new proposals from the public. Instead, it serves as a formal public notice that NPS plans to provide funding for specific seabird habitat restoration activities on the Channel Islands without full and open competition, based on a sole source justification described in an attached Notice of Intent document.
The funding instrument for this action is a Cooperative Agreement, which typically indicates substantial involvement by the federal agency in carrying out the funded work (for example, coordination on planning, implementation, monitoring, logistics, permitting, or adaptive management). The announcement explains that an umbrella Cooperative Agreement is already in place with a particular organization, and that NPS intends to issue a Task Agreement under that umbrella to carry out defined project activities. The total anticipated amount to be awarded under the Task Agreement is stated not to exceed 1,000,000 dollars, and the opportunity lists an estimated total funding amount of 1,000,000 dollars with an award ceiling of 1,000,000 dollars and an award floor of 0 dollars.
The opportunity is categorized under Natural Resources and references CFDA number 15.944 (Natural Resource Stewardship), which aligns with restoration and stewardship work in national park units. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement noted, meaning the recipient is not required by the posting to contribute a specific non-federal match as a condition of receiving the funds (though project-specific contributions could still be addressed in the underlying agreement documents).
Eligibility is listed as limited to nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). However, because this is a Notice of Intent to Award tied to an existing umbrella Cooperative Agreement and supported by a sole source justification, the eligibility statement should be read as part of the standard grants.gov formatting rather than an open invitation for multiple applicants. The key takeaway is that NPS is announcing its intent to fund a specific partner for seabird habitat restoration work on the Channel Islands under an established cooperative framework, rather than running an open competition.
The posting timeline reflects this limited, notice-oriented purpose. It was posted and created on September 1, 2014, with an original and current closing date of September 5, 2014, and an archive date of September 12, 2014. The short window is consistent with a public notice period for a non-competitive intent-to-award action rather than a typical multi-week or multi-month application period.
For additional details, including the description of the specific project activities and the rationale for awarding without full and open competition, the announcement directs readers to the attached Notice of Intent and sole source justification. The listed point of contact for access issues or questions about the announcement is Yvonne Morales at the National Park Service, reachable at 415-464-5221 or yvonnemorales@nps.gov.
