Opportunity Summary:
This government grant opportunity, titled "Native Plant Corps Team for the Vegetation Program" (Funding Opportunity Number: NPS NOIGRCA111034), was issued by the National Park Service as a discretionary funding opportunity using a cooperative agreement. The work falls under the Natural Resources activity category and is tied to CFDA 15.931, "Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations," which typically supports conservation projects carried out with youth or service-based conservation crews. The stated purpose is straightforward: the funding would support the Grand Canyon native plants restoration team project, described as a "Native Plant Corps" team supporting the park's vegetation program. In practical terms, this implies hands-on field work focused on restoring native plant communities in and around Grand Canyon National Park, likely involving activities such as planting, seed collection, invasive species control, habitat rehabilitation, monitoring, and related vegetation management tasks that align with park restoration goals.
A key detail is that this announcement was not a broad, open competition. It was posted "for informational purposes only" as a Notice of Intent to award a task agreement under an existing cooperative agreement, specifically naming The Student Conservation Association (SCA) as the intended recipient. That means the agency had already determined the partner organization and planned to issue the award through an existing agreement vehicle rather than soliciting multiple proposals. The opportunity listed an expected number of awards of one, reinforcing that it was effectively a single-recipient action rather than a competitive grant round.
The estimated total funding amount was $154,170. The listing shows no award ceiling or floor (both recorded as 0), which often happens in notices where the amount is predetermined or managed through the underlying cooperative agreement rather than expressed as a typical competitive range. The opportunity also indicated that cost sharing or matching was required, meaning the recipient would be expected to contribute some portion of project costs or in-kind support consistent with the terms of the cooperative agreement. Eligible applicants were described broadly as "Others" with further clarification in the eligibility notes, but the eligibility language makes clear that the agency intended to award to SCA, rather than invite new applicants.
Timing-wise, the posting and creation dates were December 13, 2010, with an original and current closing date of December 14, 2010, and an archive date of December 15, 2010. That extremely short window is another strong signal that this was an informational posting tied to a pre-identified award rather than a standard application process. For anyone needing help accessing the full announcement, the contact listed was Rhonda Martinez, Contract Specialist at the National Park Service (phone: 505-988-6042).
