Opportunity Summary:
The "Notice of Intent Single Source Award Trail Maintenance" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIJ8564100031) is a discretionary funding opportunity issued by the Department of the Interior, National Park Service (NPS), specifically for Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks. The announcement explains that the parks intend to make a single-source award through a Task Agreement under an already existing Cooperative Agreement. Rather than opening a broad competition among multiple applicants, the NPS signals its plan to work with one identified partner: American Conservation Experience. The focus of the work is practical, on-the-ground trail maintenance along with restoration activities that are directly tied to trails, which typically includes repairing tread, improving drainage, addressing erosion, restoring disturbed areas adjacent to trails, and related resource-protection work that keeps trail corridors safe and sustainable.
The funding instrument is a Cooperative Agreement, which generally indicates a partnership-style arrangement where the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the project, as opposed to a standard grant where the recipient operates more independently. The activity category is Natural Resources, and the listing is associated with CFDA number 15.931, "Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations," which aligns with the use of conservation corps-style crews and youth or service-based conservation labor. The opportunity anticipates one award total, reinforcing that the intent is not to fund multiple separate projects but to support a single, defined scope of work through the named partner.
Financially, the opportunity lists an estimated total funding amount of $38,400, and both the award ceiling and award floor are also $38,400, meaning the planned award amount is fixed at that level rather than offered as a range. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient would not be expected to contribute a defined percentage of non-federal funds or in-kind match as a condition of the award. The posting date and creation date are both September 2, 2010, with an original and current closing date of September 6, 2010, and an archive date of October 6, 2010, indicating this was a short-notice notice-of-intent announcement that was later archived after the planned action window.
Eligibility is described as "Nonprofits that do not have a 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, other than institutions of higher education." However, the substance of the announcement makes clear that this notice is tied to a single-source action under an existing agreement with American Conservation Experience, so the practical effect is that the NPS is not seeking new proposals from the broader public for this specific effort. The notice also states that the single-source approach is being made in accordance with Department of the Interior policy (referenced as "505 DMZ"), which is cited as the justification framework for proceeding with a non-competitive or limited-competition arrangement in this context.
