Opportunity Summary:
Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOI 2106109413, titled "2106109413 Control harmrul terrestrial and aquatic plants Cuyahoga National Park," is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary grant action structured as a cooperative agreement focused on natural resource management. The project purpose is to control harmful invasive plant species affecting both terrestrial and aquatic environments within Cuyahoga Valley National Park. In practice, this kind of work typically involves activities like locating and mapping invasive infestations, applying approved mechanical or chemical treatments, supporting restoration or follow-up monitoring to prevent reinvasion, and helping park resource staff reduce impacts to native habitats and waterways.
This announcement is presented as a Notice of Intent (NOI) to award, meaning the NPS is indicating its plan to make an award rather than running an open competition at the time of posting. The intended recipient is The Student Conservation Association (SCA), and the notice states that the award was "competed in accordance with internal NPS procedures," which suggests the selection process was handled under the agency's internal competitive or comparative process even if the public-facing posting is not an open solicitation. The instrument type being a cooperative agreement is also important: unlike a standard grant where the recipient largely carries out the work independently, a cooperative agreement generally reflects substantial involvement by NPS staff in planning, coordination, oversight, or field implementation, which is common for hands-on park stewardship projects.
The opportunity is categorized under Natural Resources, and it is tied to CFDA (now often referenced as Assistance Listing) number 15.931, "Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations." That listing aligns well with SCA's mission and suggests the project likely includes youth or conservation corps-style engagement as part of accomplishing the invasive species treatment work. Eligibility is listed as nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), matching the profile of organizations like SCA that regularly partner with federal land management agencies.
Financially, the notice lists an award ceiling and award floor of exactly 112,892 dollars, which indicates the NPS expected a single award at that fixed amount rather than a range of possible awards. A cost sharing or matching requirement is noted as "Yes," meaning the recipient would be expected to contribute some portion of the overall project value, either through cash, in-kind services, or other allowable match consistent with the agreement terms. The posting date and creation date are both March 8, 2010, with an original and current closing date of March 18, 2010, and an archive date of April 17, 2010, reflecting the short administrative window typical of a notice tied to an intended award rather than a long open application period.
For applicants or members of the public needing access to the full announcement, the contact listed is Theora McVay, Contract Specialist, reachable by phone at 402-661-1662, with email referenced but not provided in the text supplied.
