The notice described a single expected award with an estimated total funding amount of $36,400, and it listed CFDA 15.931, Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement. The opportunity was posted on July 12, 2011, and it had an extremely short turnaround, with the original and current closing date both set for July 13, 2011, then archived on July 14, 2011.
The announcement was explicitly labeled "for informational purposes only" because it functioned as a Notice of Intent rather than an open competitive solicitation. In other words, it was not broadly inviting applications from the general public; instead, it indicated NPS planned to make an award to a specific organization. Eligibility was listed as "Others" with clarification provided in the eligibility narrative: the National Park Service intended to award to Groundwork USA by issuing a task agreement under an existing cooperative agreement.
Programmatically, the focus was on youth conservation corps work delivered through Groundwork USA's youth conservation corps programs known as Green Teams. These Green Teams were described as engaging youth and young adults in conservation and service projects that support the care, improvement, and enhancement of public resources, with an emphasis on building understanding and appreciation for natural and cultural resources. The central purpose of the task agreement was to integrate one week of National Park Service service and learning experiences into Groundwork USA's already-established program structure, leveraging their capacity and existing framework to deliver a short, concentrated NPS-related service-learning component.
