Opportunity Summary:
The Department of the Interior, National Park Service (NPS) issued a notice related to a discretionary funding opportunity titled "Exotic Plant Management Team Intern" (Funding Opportunity Number P16AS00384). The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, and the work falls under the activity areas of Education and Natural Resources. The listed CFDA number is 15.931, which is commonly associated with National Park Service programs. The opportunity is tied to supporting an intern position connected to an Exotic Plant Management Team, which typically focuses on invasive or non-native plant issues on public lands, including activities such as monitoring, mapping, treatment support, and related education or outreach components.
This notice is not a standard open solicitation. It is explicitly a Notice of Intent to Award only, meaning the agency is not accepting applications. Instead, the task is being awarded under an existing cooperative agreement (P15AC0031) that was already competed previously. In practical terms, this means the recipient is being selected through that prior competitive process, and this action is essentially an administrative and funding modification to continue or adjust work already underway rather than starting a new competition.
The central purpose of the modification is administrative and programmatic: it updates the legal authority under which the task agreement operates, revises the statement of work, adds funds to cover the identified tasks, and changes key officials associated with managing or overseeing the agreement. These kinds of updates usually reflect shifting project needs, clarified deliverables, staffing or oversight changes, or expanded field requirements that require additional funding or altered responsibilities.
Eligibility is listed as limited to nonprofits with IRS 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. Even though eligibility is described, the notice makes clear that no applications are being accepted because this action is tied to an existing cooperative agreement framework. The award ceiling is stated as $69,861. The posting lists expected awards as 0, which aligns with the fact that this is not an open competition but a modification/continuation action under an existing arrangement. The notice was created on July 23, 2016, and it does not include a traditional closing date because it is not open for submission.
