Opportunity Information: Apply for DHS USCG SUR 2022 001
The National Recreational Boating Safety Survey (NRBSS) Pre-Solicitation Notice and Call for Papers is a discretionary funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, United States Coast Guard (USCG), specifically through the USCG Boating Safety Division. It is set up as a cooperative agreement and is focused on information and statistics work rather than direct service delivery. Through this notice, the Coast Guard is inviting eligible organizations to submit pre-solicitation materials describing proposed methods for conducting the NRBSS, which is a nationwide survey effort designed to generate statistically sound information about recreational boating activity.
The core purpose of the NRBSS is to produce valid and reliable estimates of two key things: recreational boating participation (how many people boat and related participation patterns) and recreational boating exposure measures (the amount of boating activity, which can include metrics like time on the water or trips, depending on the final survey design). The intent is for these estimates to cover all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico, and to be produced on a regular and continuing basis. In other words, the Coast Guard is not looking for a one-time snapshot; it is seeking an approach that can be repeated over time to support ongoing national-level measurement.
A notable feature of this opportunity is that the Coast Guard plans to use a two-step process to identify and select an organization to conduct the survey. This announcement is the pre-solicitation stage, meaning respondents are being asked to provide input and proposed methodological approaches before a full solicitation and award process proceeds. The practical takeaway is that the Coast Guard is signaling it wants to see strong, defensible survey designs and implementation strategies up front, likely to reduce risk and ensure the eventual full solicitation is aligned with feasible, high-quality methods.
Funding is described as up to $1,500,000 per year to conduct the NRBSS, with an anticipated single award (ExpectedAwards: 1) and an award ceiling of $1,500,000. The statutory authority cited for the project is Public Law 114-94. The funding opportunity number is DHS USCG SUR 2022 001, and the original posting indicates it was created on February 10, 2022, with an original closing date of April 15, 2022.
Eligibility is limited to certain nonprofit and higher education institutions. Specifically, eligible applicants include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status, and nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (in both nonprofit cases, other than institutions of higher education). While the prime recipient must be an eligible nonprofit or academic institution, subcontracts to profit-making businesses are explicitly allowed. However, the prime awardee remains responsible for core administrative and compliance duties, including maintaining all project records, serving as the point of contact, and retaining full accountability for how funds are managed and reported. This setup allows a university or nonprofit to lead the effort while bringing in private-sector survey firms or specialized vendors as subcontractors, so long as the prime recipient maintains control and responsibility for the overall project.Apply for DHS USCG SUR 2022 001
