Opportunity Summary:
The Community outreach plant program (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIGRCA00129) is a National Park Service discretionary funding opportunity structured as a cooperative agreement under the Natural Resources activity category. Its stated purpose is to carry out a task agreement under an existing cooperative agreement to address invasive plant issues at Grand Canyon National Park, with the overall goal of improving conditions impacted by invasive vegetation through targeted removal and related on-the-ground work.
This notice is explicitly labeled as being for informational purposes only, meaning it is not a typical open competition where multiple applicants submit proposals during a standard application window. Instead, it serves as a Notice of Intent to make an award to the Student Conservation Association (SCA) by issuing a task agreement against an already-established cooperative agreement. The notice also indicates the award was competed in accordance with internal National Park Service procedures, which suggests the selection process occurred through NPS processes prior to this public posting rather than through a broad public solicitation.
The opportunity is tied to CFDA 15.931, Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations, signaling that the work aligns with youth-focused conservation service and field-based stewardship activities. The listing notes that cost sharing or matching is required, although it does not specify the exact match ratio or acceptable forms of match within the summary provided. The expected number of awards is one, consistent with the intent to fund a single partner for this specific task agreement. The estimated total funding amount is $27,050, and both the award ceiling and floor are listed as $0, which commonly appears in notices where standard ceiling/floor fields are not used or are not applicable for the particular posting format.
Key dates show the announcement was posted and created on April 19, 2011, with an original and current closing date of April 20, 2011, and an archive date of April 22, 2011. Those very short timelines further reinforce that this was not meant as an open call for new applications, but rather a formal public record of an intended award action. For access issues or additional administrative questions, the notice provides a contact: Rhonda Martinez, Contract Specialist, National Park Service, phone 505-988-6042.
