Opportunity Information: Apply for NPS NOI P18AC01367
The National Park Service (NPS), within the U.S. Department of the Interior, issued a discretionary funding notice titled "Operation and Maintenance of Continuous Water Quality Monitorin" under Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOI P18AC01367. Although it is presented in the format of a grant opportunity, it is explicitly a Notice of Intent to Award, meaning it is not an open solicitation and not a request for applications. In practical terms, the NPS is using this notice to publicly announce its intention to make a specific task agreement award under a cooperative agreement that had already been awarded previously.
The purpose of the planned task agreement is to support the operation and maintenance of continuous water quality monitoring. Continuous monitoring generally refers to the use of installed instruments and sensors that measure water quality parameters on an ongoing basis (rather than one-time or occasional sampling). The work typically includes keeping monitoring stations functioning, maintaining and calibrating sensors, addressing equipment failures, ensuring data quality, and managing the collection and transmission of data so the information remains reliable and usable for natural resource management. The Funding Activity Category is Natural Resources, and the associated CFDA (now commonly referred to as Assistance Listing) number is 15.945, which aligns with NPS assistance activities.
The funding instrument type is a Cooperative Agreement, which usually indicates that the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the project beyond simply providing funds. That often means closer coordination with NPS staff on technical approaches, monitoring priorities, reporting, data management expectations, and other implementation details connected to resource protection goals within the national park system.
This notice lists an expected number of awards of one, reinforcing that it is intended for a single recipient (typically the existing partner under the previously awarded cooperative agreement). The listed award ceiling is 0, which commonly appears on notices like this when the agency is not posting a competitive funding range publicly, when the amount is defined in the underlying cooperative agreement and task agreement paperwork, or when the public-facing synopsis is not intended to serve as a detailed budget announcement.
Eligibility is broadly labeled as "Others" with clarification referenced in an additional eligibility text field, but because this is not an application-based opportunity, the eligibility information does not function like it would in a competitive grant. The key takeaway is that outside organizations should not expect to apply; the NPS is simply meeting public notice requirements for issuing a task agreement to an already-established partner.
The notice was created on September 12, 2018, with an original closing date of September 21, 2018. In the context of a Notice of Intent to Award, the closing date typically reflects the window for public posting and administrative processing rather than an application deadline. The announcement directs readers to the attached full announcement for more details, which would normally include the specific park or program context, the scope of work for operating and maintaining monitoring stations, reporting or data deliverable requirements, and the legal and administrative basis for awarding the task agreement under the prior cooperative agreement.Apply for NPS NOI P18AC01367
