Opportunity Information: Apply for NPS NOI 15 CESU 79541
This notice describes the National Park Service's intent to make a single, non-competitive Cooperative Agreement award for work supporting a vegetation mapping effort at Padre Island National Seashore. It is explicitly not a solicitation and not a request for applications or proposals. Instead, it serves as a public transparency notice that the agency plans to proceed with a sole-source award under the Department of the Interior's policy framework (cited as 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C), which outlines circumstances where non-competitive financial assistance agreements may be appropriate.
The project purpose is focused on field-based data collection to strengthen a draft vegetation map for Padre Island National Seashore. The core tasks center on conducting field vegetation plots, which are on-the-ground sampling locations where vegetation types and characteristics are recorded in a standardized way. These plots are intended to support two related outcomes: first, to assess how accurate the existing draft vegetation map is (an accuracy assessment typically compares mapped classes to what is actually present in the field), and second, to improve the map itself by using the field observations to refine or correct mapped vegetation categories and boundaries. In practical terms, this kind of work helps ensure the final vegetation map is reliable for resource management, planning, habitat monitoring, and other conservation decisions within the park.
Administrative details in the notice indicate the opportunity is categorized as a discretionary award and will use a Cooperative Agreement as the funding instrument, which generally implies substantial federal involvement or collaboration during project execution compared to a standard grant. The activity area is listed under environment, and the CFDA number provided is 15.945, which corresponds to National Park Service financial assistance programs. The agency anticipates making one award, and the named intended recipient is the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, identified as the single-source partner for this agreement.
The posting includes key identifiers and dates: the funding opportunity title is "Field Data Collection and Accuracy Assessment of a Vegetation Map for Padre Island National Seashore," with opportunity number "NPS NOI 15 CESU 79541." The notice was created on 2015-09-06, and the original closing date is listed as 2015-09-15, which in this context functions more as a public notice window rather than a deadline for submissions since applications are not being accepted. The award ceiling is shown as 0, which usually indicates that a specific maximum federal funding amount is not being stated in the summary record and may instead be provided in the full announcement attachment or the finalized agreement documents.Apply for NPS NOI 15 CESU 79541
