Opportunity Summary:

This government grant opportunity, titled "Fuel and invasive plant mitigation in southern Arizona" (Funding Opportunity Number NPSNOISAGU100081), was issued by the National Park Service as a discretionary funding opportunity using a cooperative agreement funding instrument. It falls under the Natural Resources activity category and is associated with CFDA 15.931, "Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations," which generally supports conservation work carried out through youth and service-oriented conservation crews. The stated purpose is straightforward: to support fuel reduction and invasive plant mitigation work in Southern Arizona through a task agreement made under an existing cooperative agreement.

The announcement is explicitly labeled "for informational purposes only" and functions as a Notice of Intent to award rather than an open competitive solicitation. According to the eligibility information provided, the National Park Service intended to make the award to the Student Conservation Association by issuing a task agreement under an already-established cooperative agreement vehicle. Because of that structure, the "Eligible Applicants" field is listed as "Others," with the practical meaning that this posting was not inviting new applicants to compete; it was documenting the agency's intent to proceed with a specific partner under an existing agreement.

Financially, the opportunity listed an estimated total funding amount of $203,707 and anticipated a single award. The posting indicates that cost sharing or matching was required, which means the recipient would be expected to contribute some portion of project costs or in-kind support consistent with the terms of the underlying cooperative agreement and the specific task agreement. Both the award ceiling and award floor are shown as $0, a pattern that sometimes appears in notices that are not structured as open competitions and therefore do not present a typical minimum/maximum award range.

Timing information shows how narrow the window was, reinforcing that it was not meant to function like a standard open application process. The opportunity was posted on September 10, 2010, with an original and current closing date of September 11, 2010, and it was archived on September 12, 2010. That rapid turnaround is typical of intent-to-award notices or administrative postings used to satisfy transparency requirements rather than to solicit proposals from the general public.

For questions or assistance accessing the full announcement, the notice provides a point of contact: Rhonda Martinez, Contract Specialist at the National Park Service, reachable by phone at 505-988-6042.
