Opportunity Summary:
This Notice of Intent describes a planned single-source cooperative agreement the Department of the Interior, through the National Park Service (NPS) at Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks, intended to support youth and volunteer engagement through the Nature Corps. The core purpose is to place junior high, high school, and college-aged participants, along with other qualified volunteers, into service opportunities where they contribute time and effort in exchange for structured training and educational experiences. The emphasis is on helping participants advance educational, career, or personal development goals while supporting conservation-related work connected to the parks. The opportunity is explicitly framed as aligning with the Secretary of the Interior's Engaging Youth Program, and it is being carried out under Department of the Interior policy referenced as 505 DMZ.
Administratively, this is a discretionary funding opportunity using a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, which generally indicates that the NPS expects to have substantial involvement in overseeing or collaborating on the project rather than simply issuing a grant with minimal federal participation. The funding activity category is listed as Employment, Labor and Training, and the associated CFDA program number is 15.931, Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations, which signals the broader federal program area supporting youth service in conservation and public lands settings.
The notice indicates the intent to make one award (ExpectedAwards: 1) with a total estimated funding amount of $8,500. The award ceiling and floor are both $8,500, meaning the planned award amount is fixed rather than offered as a range. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is not expected to provide a formal non-federal match as a condition of the award. The eligible applicant category is listed as nonprofits that do not have 501(c)(3) status with the IRS (other than institutions of higher education), though the text makes clear that the NPS is entering into the agreement specifically with Nature Corps, reflecting the single-source nature of the action rather than an open competition.
Timing-wise, the opportunity was posted on September 24, 2010, with an original and current closing date of September 27, 2010, and an archive date of October 27, 2010. Those dates, together with the title "Notice of Intent to Single Source Award," indicate this was primarily a public notice of the agency's intention to award to a specific organization, rather than a broad solicitation inviting multiple applicants to compete.
