Opportunity Summary:
The funding opportunity titled "Buffelgrass Mitigation on Public Lands and Transportation Corridors Adjoining Saguaro National Park" is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary grant action focused on natural resource protection work in and around Saguaro National Park. The core purpose is to support efforts that reduce or control buffelgrass, an invasive plant that can spread aggressively in the Sonoran Desert and threatens native ecosystems and fire regimes. The work is specifically framed around mitigation on public lands and along transportation corridors that border or connect to Saguaro National Park, which are common pathways for invasive species introduction and spread due to vehicle traffic, ground disturbance, and maintenance activities.
This announcement is not a broad, open competition. It is a notice of intent to make an award through a task agreement under an existing cooperative agreement with a named partner, the Southern Arizona Buffelgrass Coordination Center. In practical terms, that means NPS had already established a cooperative agreement vehicle with this organization and intended to issue a specific task agreement (a defined scope of work and funding increment) under that umbrella. Because it is tied to an existing cooperative relationship and a specified recipient, the "Eligible Applicants" field is essentially limited in effect; the listing of "Others" is clarified by the eligibility note stating the intent to award to that specific coordination center rather than soliciting new applicants.
The instrument type is a cooperative agreement, which typically signals that NPS anticipates substantial federal involvement beyond simply providing funds. Cooperative agreements are commonly used when an agency expects to collaborate with the recipient on planning, coordination, technical approaches, reporting, or on-the-ground implementation. The activity category is natural resources, aligning the project with invasive species management, habitat protection, and related conservation outcomes.
The estimated total funding amount is $35,000, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement. That indicates the project funding was intended to cover the agreed-upon work without requiring the recipient to contribute non-federal matching dollars, although recipients in cooperative agreements sometimes still leverage partner resources or in-kind support even when not required.
Key administrative dates show this was posted and created on August 26, 2010, with an original and current closing date of August 30, 2010, and an archive date of August 31, 2010. The short posting window is consistent with a notice-of-intent style announcement where the agency is documenting an intended award rather than running a longer competitive cycle. The opportunity is identified by Funding Opportunity Number NPSNOISAGU100079. The CFDA number is listed as 00.000 "Not Elsewhere Classified," which generally indicates the funding does not map cleanly onto a single standard CFDA program listing or is being reported in a generalized category.
For questions or difficulty accessing the full announcement, the contact listed is Gary Jordahl, Chief, GLCA Contracting Office, at 928-608-6507, with a reference to a help desk function for access issues. Overall, the notice communicates a targeted, partner-specific award action by NPS to support buffelgrass mitigation activities in areas adjoining Saguaro National Park, with modest funding and no matching requirement, executed through an existing cooperative agreement relationship.
