Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS), within the U.S. Department of the Interior, issued a Notice of Intent for a single-source award titled "Notice of Intent Single Source Award Student Interns" (Funding Opportunity Number: NPS NOIJ8590100011). The opportunity is set up as a discretionary cooperative agreement under CFDA 15.931, Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations, and it falls within the employment, labor, and training activity category. In practical terms, this is not a broad, open competition for multiple applicants; it is a formal public notice that the park intends to fund a specific partner for a defined internship support task.
The purpose of the award is to bring two visitor service and interpretation interns to Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks. The NPS plans to do this by issuing a task agreement under an already-existing cooperative agreement with the Student Conservation Association (SCA). The interns would support front-line public-facing work, which typically includes helping staff visitor centers and contact stations, assisting with interpretive programs (talks, walks, demonstrations), providing trip planning and safety information, and generally improving the visitor experience through education and interpretation. The announcement states the decision to use SCA is consistent with Department of the Interior policy (cited as 505 DMZ), which is the rationale given for using a single-source approach rather than soliciting competing proposals.
Funding details are very specific and fixed. The estimated total funding is $22,323, and both the award ceiling and award floor are also $22,323, indicating the amount is essentially predetermined for this task. No cost sharing or matching is required. The NPS expects to make one award.
Eligibility is listed as "Nonprofits that do not have a 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, other than institutions of higher education." However, because this notice is explicitly a single-source intent tied to an existing cooperative agreement with SCA, the practical implication is that the action is directed to that partner rather than open to new applicants seeking the funds through a competitive process.
Key dates show how short the window was for this notice: it was posted and created on September 2, 2010, with an original and current closing date of September 6, 2010, and it was archived on October 6, 2010. These dates further reinforce that the announcement functions mainly as a transparency notice of an intended award rather than a typical competitive grant solicitation.
