Opportunity Information: Apply for NOIP14AC00104
The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources Fire Agreement is a National Park Service (NPS) cooperative agreement with the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (MN DNR) focused on cost-sharing and joint operations that support interagency wildfire and emergency response in Minnesota. The main purpose is to cover the NPS share of expenses tied to running two key coordination and logistics capabilities: the Northeast (NE) Interagency Cache (equipment and supplies used for fire operations) and the Minnesota Interagency Fire Center (MIFC). In addition, the agreement funds the NPS share of MNICS governance and coordination, specifically participation costs connected to the Minnesota Incident Command System (MNICS) Task Force and its Board of Directors. The overarching goal is practical and operational: keep a sustained, collaborative interagency framework in place so agencies can coordinate effectively and fight fires more efficiently.
The statement of work lays out how operating costs are divided among partners. Cache operating costs are split between the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Forest Service and the State of Minnesota through the MN DNR Division of Forestry. Separately, MIFC operating costs are shared among the member organizations that participate in MNICS, reflecting a multi-agency model where several partners contribute to keep the coordination center functioning. The notice also references an existing cooperative agreement (P14AC00104) with an original amount of $7,467.00 and a subsequent modification requesting an additional $7,987.00 to support ongoing project activities, indicating this is continuing support for established operations rather than a brand-new initiative.
Responsibilities are clearly split between the recipient (MN DNR) and the federal partner (NPS). MN DNR agrees to provide the core facility and building-related support services needed to keep MIFC running day-to-day. This includes utilities and services such as electricity, water and sewer, heat, cable, basic phone service, trash removal, janitorial building maintenance, snow removal, lawn care, and other miscellaneous supplies. MN DNR also supports building projects that are submitted and approved by the MNICS Task Force, aligning these contributions with the Annual Operating Plan that governs how the interagency center and related functions are managed and prioritized.
On the NPS side, the agreement is structured as a cooperative agreement specifically because NPS is expected to be substantially involved in the work, not merely providing pass-through funding. NPS commits to participate and collaborate jointly with MN DNR under the Annual Operating Plan, including providing a technical representative when project-specific expertise is needed. NPS also retains an active oversight and coordination role, with the ability to direct or redirect work if it intersects with other projects or changing operational needs. The notice emphasizes close monitoring and operational involvement, including attention to organizational structure, staffing, operating approach, and broader management processes, reinforcing that NPS remains closely engaged throughout performance.
This opportunity is presented as a single-source (non-competitive) award, and the notice explicitly states it is not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as public notice of NPS intent to provide financial assistance without competition. The justification ties the agreement to the National Response Framework (NRF), which governs coordinated federal support during major incidents, including Presidential/Stafford Act declared emergencies and disasters. The agreement is framed as part of the broader commitment of federal, state, and tribal entities to cooperate and provide resources and support consistent with their authorities, with applicability limited to wildland fires and certain non-wildland emergencies/disasters that are Presidential declarations.
Key administrative details in the posting include: the agency is the National Park Service; the funding instrument is a cooperative agreement; the opportunity category is discretionary; the CFDA number listed is 15.948; the opportunity number is NOIP14AC00104; the expected number of awards is one; the listed award ceiling is $40,000; and the original closing date shown is 2017-07-31 (though the notice functions as an intent-to-award announcement rather than an open solicitation). Eligible applicants are listed broadly as “Others,” but the content makes clear the intended recipient is the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources as the partner operating and supporting MIFC and related interagency fire infrastructure.Apply for NOIP14AC00104
