Opportunity Summary:
This opportunity, titled "Submerged Habitat Mapping at Northeast Region Coastal Parks Coordination and Synthesis of Post Hurricane Sandy Mapping Projects" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 14 NERO 0080), is a National Park Service (NPS) Notice of Intent to Award rather than an open call for proposals. In practical terms, it is not seeking applications from the public. Instead, NPS issued the notice to formally inform the public that it plans to fund specific project activities through a cooperative agreement without full and open competition. The activity is tied directly to Hurricane Sandy recovery and related mapping needs at coastal parks in the NPS Northeast Region.
The funding mechanism is a cooperative agreement under CFDA 15.945, "Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System." Cooperative agreements are typically used when the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the work (for example, helping guide technical direction, coordinating partners, shaping deliverables, or integrating results into agency systems). The announcement indicates there will be one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $220,000. Both the award floor and ceiling are listed as $220,000, which usually signals a single, fixed-size award rather than a range of possible award amounts. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is not expected to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of the award.
The project focus, as reflected in the title and category explanation, is coordination and synthesis of submerged habitat mapping and post-Hurricane Sandy mapping projects across Northeast Region coastal parks. While the notice does not provide technical task details in the text provided, the framing strongly suggests work such as organizing and aligning mapping efforts across multiple parks, consolidating and standardizing datasets, integrating results from different post-storm mapping efforts, and producing synthesized outputs that can support resource management, restoration planning, and longer-term monitoring of submerged habitats after a major coastal disturbance event like Sandy.
Key administrative dates show the notice was posted and created on July 9, 2014, with an original and current closing date of July 16, 2014, and archived on July 17, 2014. Because this is a notice of intent to award and not a competitive solicitation, the "closing date" functions more like a public notice window rather than a deadline for applicants to submit proposals.
Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," but the eligibility narrative reiterates that this is not a request for applications and that NPS intends to proceed without full and open competition. That language generally indicates a pre-identified recipient or a justified exception to competition (for instance, unique qualifications, continuity of an ongoing project, or an urgent need), though the specific rationale and recipient are not included in the excerpt provided.
