Opportunity Summary:
The Mount Rainier Trails SCA Community Crews opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP16AC00404) is a National Park Service notice indicating the Department of the Interior, National Park Service (DOI-NPS) intends to issue a single task agreement under the 21st Century Conservation Service Corps Program - Youth Engagement and Development. The purpose is to support Mount Rainier National Park's trail program by having the Student Conservation Association (SCA) provide three Community Conservation Crews. In practical terms, the work supported by this agreement would center on on-the-ground trail assistance at Mount Rainier, carried out by organized crews placed through SCA, consistent with the program's emphasis on youth engagement, development, and conservation service.
This listing is explicitly a Notice of Intent (NOI) for a non-competitive award, meaning it is not structured as an open competition where multiple organizations submit proposals to be scored against each other. Instead, the NPS is signaling its intent to make an award to a specific partner, the Student Conservation Association, to deliver the described crew capacity. While the eligible applicant category shown is nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), the NOI language makes clear that the intended recipient is SCA and that only one award is expected.
The award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which generally implies that NPS anticipates substantial involvement in the project beyond simply providing funds, such as coordination on work priorities, crew support, safety and compliance requirements, scheduling, reporting expectations, and alignment with park trail program needs. The activity category is Environment, and the CFDA number is 15.931, which corresponds to National Park Service-related assistance programs.
Key administrative details include a posted and created date of April 5, 2016, with an original and current closing date of May 4, 2016. The opportunity anticipates a single award (Expected Awards: 1). The award ceiling is listed as 0, which typically indicates that a specific maximum amount was not provided in the public synopsis or that funding details would be handled within the task agreement documentation rather than stated in the notice. Overall, the notice communicates a targeted, partnership-based approach to staffing trail work through three SCA community crews at Mount Rainier National Park under the NPS youth and conservation corps framework.
