Opportunity Summary:
This grant notice is a National Park Service (NPS) announcement stating its intent to make a single-source award for a small, targeted internship placement at Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks. The opportunity is posted as a discretionary cooperative agreement under Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIJ8590100014, titled "Notice of Intent Single Source Award Student Interns." Rather than being a competitive, open solicitation, it functions as a notice that the park plans to proceed with a specific partner under an existing cooperative agreement, consistent with Department of the Interior policy referenced as 505 DMZ.
The purpose of the award is straightforward: Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks intend to enter into a task agreement with the Student Conservation Association (SCA) so that SCA will provide one student interpretation intern. The intern is expected to work on the park shuttle bus, supporting interpretation activities, which typically include communicating park information to visitors, answering questions, helping explain natural and cultural resources, and contributing to visitor orientation and education in a high-contact setting. The activity falls under the broader federal assistance category tied to youth conservation and service, reflected by the CFDA listing 15.931, "Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations."
Financially, the notice indicates a single expected award, with total estimated funding of $4,000. The award ceiling and floor are both set at $4,000, which signals the award amount is fixed rather than a range. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement listed, meaning the recipient is not expected to provide additional funds to meet a match. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which generally implies the NPS anticipates substantial involvement in overseeing or collaborating on the intern placement and associated work plan, as opposed to a grant where involvement is often more limited.
Eligibility is limited in a way that aligns with the single-source nature of the announcement. The eligible applicant category is described as "Nonprofits that do not have a 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, other than institutions of higher education." In practice, however, the description makes clear the intended partner is the Student Conservation Association, and the notice is essentially documenting that intent publicly rather than inviting proposals from multiple organizations.
Timing details show the notice was posted on September 2, 2010, created on September 3, 2010, and carried a very short window with an original and current closing date of September 6, 2010. The opportunity was later archived on October 6, 2010. These dates are consistent with a notice-of-intent or administrative posting connected to a planned action rather than a standard competitive grant cycle.
For access issues or questions tied to the announcement, the listed point of contact is Katherine Hoover, Contracting Officer at the National Park Service. The notice provides phone contact at 559-565-3180 and email at katiehoover@nps.gov.
