Opportunity Summary:
The Bechler Trail Project (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIIMRO10757) is a National Park Service discretionary funding opportunity tied to Yellowstone National Park, focused on trail operations work in the park's Bechler area. The activity category is Natural Resources, and the funding is structured as a cooperative agreement rather than a standard contract. In practical terms, this points to a project where the Park Service expects to collaborate closely with the recipient on accomplishing on-the-ground conservation and trail-related tasks, rather than simply purchasing a service at arm's length.
This notice is explicitly labeled "FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY" and functions as a Notice of Intent to award, not an open competitive solicitation. The agency states its intent to make an award to the Student Conservation Association by issuing a task agreement under an existing cooperative agreement. The CFDA listing associated with the opportunity is 15.931, Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations, which signals that the work is aligned with youth-based conservation service efforts, such as conservation corps style fieldwork supporting park operations and resource stewardship.
The opportunity anticipated a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an estimated total funding amount of $30,323. No cost sharing or matching is required, meaning the recipient is not expected to contribute additional non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award. The listed award ceiling and floor are both shown as $0, which commonly appears in records where a formal ceiling/floor was not specified in the public synopsis, even though an estimated project total is provided.
Timing-wise, the posting date and creation date were both July 17, 2012, with an original and current closing date of July 18, 2012, and an archive date of July 19, 2012. That extremely short window reinforces that this entry was not meant to solicit broad applications, but rather to document an intended, specific recipient award decision that was already planned.
Eligibility is broadly labeled as "Others," with direction to a text field for clarification, but the key eligibility detail is the notice of intent naming the Student Conservation Association as the intended awardee. Anyone attempting to apply competitively would likely have been ineligible in practice, because the announcement is describing a planned task agreement against an existing cooperative agreement framework.
For access issues or questions about the announcement, the contact listed is Rhonda Martinez, Contract Specialist, National Park Service, reachable by phone at 505-988-6042.
