Opportunity Summary:
The "Cattle Exclosure Maintenance Construction" opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number T8360110113) is a National Park Service award announcement for a specific task agreement issued under Cooperative Agreement number H8230A60140. In practical terms, this is not a broad, open-ended solicitation for new proposals as much as it is a notice that the agency is making an award connected to an existing cooperative agreement framework. The project title indicates the work centers on maintaining and constructing cattle exclosures, which are fence or barrier systems used to keep livestock out of sensitive areas. In National Park Service settings, exclosures are commonly used to protect riparian corridors, springs, wetlands, and vegetation restoration sites from grazing impacts, reduce soil erosion and bank trampling, and support long-term resource protection goals consistent with park management plans and preservation standards.
The opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding and uses an "Other" funding instrument type, reflecting that it is structured as a task agreement under an established cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant program with recurring competitive rounds. The funding activity category is listed as Education, and the associated CFDA number is 15.915 (Technical Preservation Services). That CFDA linkage generally signals work tied to preservation and stewardship outcomes, and it can include projects that maintain, stabilize, or protect resources and landscapes. Even though the title emphasizes construction and maintenance, the education category can reflect elements such as training, interpretive value, stewardship engagement, or partnerships that support conservation practices in a way that aligns with broader public or workforce development goals.
Funding for the task agreement is estimated at $288,280 in total, with one expected award. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is not required to contribute a specified percentage of non-federal funds or in-kind support as a condition of receiving the award. Eligibility is limited to nonprofits with IRS 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education, which narrows the field to qualified nonprofit organizations capable of carrying out field construction and maintenance activities, complying with federal requirements, and coordinating effectively with the National Park Service under the terms of the cooperative agreement.
Key dates show the announcement was posted and created on December 29, 2010, with an original and current closing date of January 12, 2011, and an archive date of February 11, 2011. These dates indicate the opportunity is historical and no longer active, but they still provide useful context about the project scope, funding level, and the type of entity the NPS was working with at the time. For assistance accessing the full announcement or related materials, the contact listed is Barbara Eschels, Supervisory Contract Specialist, reachable by phone at 702-293-8909.
