Opportunity Summary:
The funding opportunity titled "Update Channel Islands National Park Cultural Resources Geographic Information System" (Funding Opportunity Number P16AS00439) is a Notice of Intent to Award issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service (NPS). It is categorized as a discretionary opportunity using a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, and it falls under the funding activity category listed as "Other" (with further clarification referenced in the original notice). The associated CFDA number is 15.946. The notice was created on August 3, 2016, and it is explicitly not a request for applications, meaning the public is not being invited to apply or compete for this award.
This posting functions primarily as a transparency and public notification document. NPS is stating its intention to provide funding for specific project activities through a task agreement that sits under an existing, previously justified single-source master cooperative agreement structure. In practical terms, that means the agency has already identified the partner organization and the administrative agreement vehicle that will be used, and this announcement is meant to document that intent rather than solicit proposals.
The intended recipient identified in the notice is the Mountains Restoration Trust, a nonprofit organization, under a previously established cooperative agreement (Cooperative Agreement P15AC00813). The work is to be carried out via Task Agreement P16AC01381. The project itself focuses on updating the Cultural Resources Geographic Information System (GIS) for Channel Islands National Park. While the notice does not provide technical scope details beyond the project title, the phrasing indicates work related to maintaining, improving, and/or updating spatial data and associated records used to manage and protect cultural resources within the park. In the NPS context, a cultural resources GIS typically supports the documentation and management of culturally significant sites, landscapes, structures, archeological resources, and related data needed for planning, compliance, protection, and stewardship.
The opportunity lists an award ceiling of $36,900 and anticipates a single award (Expected Awards: 1). Although the eligible applicant category is stated as 501(c)(3) nonprofits other than institutions of higher education, that eligibility language is largely procedural here because the notice is not open for competition; it is announcing an intended award under an existing relationship and justification. There is no application deadline because there is no application process associated with this posting, and the "closing date" field reflects that by stating it is not a request for applications.
Overall, this is a non-competitive, pre-identified cooperative agreement action by NPS to support a defined piece of work: updating the Channel Islands National Park Cultural Resources GIS, with public notice provided to document the agency's intent to fund the work through Mountains Restoration Trust under established cooperative agreement and task agreement identifiers.
