Opportunity Summary:
This opportunity is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding notice focused on natural resources monitoring in the Sonoran Desert Network parks. The project is titled "Establish and sample long term vegetation and soils monitoring plots," and its stated purpose is to set up and collect baseline (and potentially repeatable) field measurements from permanent monitoring plots that track vegetation conditions and soil characteristics over time. In practical terms, the work centers on creating long-term plot locations that can be revisited in future years, using consistent methods so the parks can detect ecological change, trends, and potential impacts from stressors such as drought, invasive species, disturbance, or climate-related shifts.
The funding opportunity number is NPSNOISODN107015, and it is structured as a cooperative agreement rather than a standard contract, meaning the NPS expects an active role in coordination, oversight, and possibly technical direction during the work. The activity category is Natural Resources, and the CFDA listing referenced is 15.931, "Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations." The announcement indicates an expected single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $68,632. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement identified, and no award ceiling or floor is specified in the notice.
Eligibility is not presented as an open competition. The notice explicitly states it is "for informational purposes only" and serves as a Notice of Intent to award a task agreement to the Student Conservation Association (SCA) under an existing cooperative agreement. That means the NPS is not soliciting proposals broadly; instead, it is announcing its intention to issue a task agreement to a specific partner already operating under an established agreement vehicle.
Timing details show how limited and administrative the notice is: it was posted and created on July 19, 2010, with an original and current closing date of July 20, 2010, and an archive date of July 21, 2010. Those dates reinforce that the opportunity was primarily a formal public posting rather than a competitive application window.
For additional information or help accessing the full announcement electronically, the listed contact is Rhonda Martinez, Contract Specialist at the National Park Service, reachable by phone at 505-988-6042.
