Opportunity Summary:
This opportunity is a National Park Service (NPS) notice indicating the Department of the Interior's intent to make a single-source award for bear technician support at Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks. Rather than being a broad, open competition, it is structured as a Task Agreement issued under an already existing Cooperative Agreement with the Student Conservation Association (SCA). Through this arrangement, SCA would place three bear technician interns at the parks to assist with bear-related fieldwork and operational needs tied to natural resource management. The notice states the approach is consistent with Department of the Interior policy (referenced as 505 DMZ), which is cited as the basis for proceeding with a single-source action.
The funding instrument is a Cooperative Agreement, and the activity category is Natural Resources. The government anticipated making one award total, with an estimated total funding amount of $11,919. The opportunity lists an award ceiling and award floor both set at $11,919, meaning the amount was effectively fixed for this specific action. No cost sharing or matching funds were required.
The opportunity is associated with CFDA number 15.931, titled "Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations," which aligns with the use of interns and conservation workforce development support through an organization like SCA. Eligible applicants were described as nonprofits that do not have a 501(c)(3) status with the IRS (other than institutions of higher education). In practice, however, this notice is explicitly tied to a single-source intent with SCA under an existing agreement, so it functions more as a public notice of the government’s planned action than an invitation for multiple organizations to apply.
Key dates show it was posted and created on September 2, 2010, with an original and current closing date of September 6, 2010, and an archive date of October 6, 2010. The short window is typical for a notice of intent where the agency is announcing a planned single-source award rather than running a longer open application period.
For access issues or questions about the announcement, the listed point of contact was Katherine Hoover, Contracting Officer, at 559-565-3180 or katiehoover@nps.gov. The funding opportunity number is NPS NOIJ8558100406, and the title is "Notice of Intent Single Source Award Bear Technicians."
