Opportunity Summary:
This notice describes a National Park Service (NPS), U.S. Department of the Interior, intent to make a single, non-competitive award under a Cooperative Agreement to support Teens To Trails through a position called the College Outdoor Mentors Outreach Coordinator. It is explicitly not a request for applications, meaning the NPS is not soliciting proposals from the public and is instead providing transparency that it plans to fund a specific project partner without full and open competition.
The opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number NPS 12 NERO 0042 and is tied to the NPS Rivers, Trails and Conservation Assistance (RTCA) program (CFDA 15.921). The activity category is labeled as "Other," clarified as RTCA program support for the College Outdoor Mentors Outreach Coordinator role. The intent is to support outreach and coordination work connected to college outdoor mentors, which typically involves organizing, recruiting, and coordinating mentor engagement to expand youth connections to outdoor recreation and stewardship opportunities, consistent with RTCA's broader mission of helping communities develop or strengthen outdoor and conservation initiatives.
Funding details are very specific and fixed: the estimated total funding is $25,000, with an award ceiling of $25,000 and an award floor of $25,000, indicating the planned agreement amount is exactly $25,000. Only one award is expected. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed, so the recipient is not required to provide additional non-federal match as a condition of the award.
Eligibility is limited in practice by the nature of the announcement. While the listing shows "Others" as the applicant category, the eligibility notes clarify that the intended recipient is a nonprofit organization with 501(c)(3) status recognized by the IRS. Because the notice is a public posting of an intended sole-source (or otherwise non-competitive) award, it signals that the NPS has already identified the recipient organization and is documenting the rationale and intent rather than inviting competing submissions.
Key dates reflect the administrative posting window rather than an application period. The notice was posted and created on June 18, 2012, with an original and current closing date of June 24, 2012, and an archive date of June 25, 2012. These dates generally indicate how long the notice remained publicly visible as an intent-to-award announcement rather than deadlines for proposal preparation.
For anyone needing the complete details, the announcement directs readers to the attachment under the "Full Announcement" link on Grants.gov, and notes that general Grants.gov navigation help is available through the site's Contact Us resources. For technical difficulty accessing the announcement, the listed point of contact is Jennifer Fleming, Contract/Agreements Specialist, National Park Service, at (215) 597-6476.
