Opportunity Summary:
This opportunity is a National Park Service (NPS) notice of intent to award a single cooperative agreement for a tree planting project under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA). It is not an open solicitation and not a request for applications. The purpose of the posting is strictly to provide public notice that NPS intends to fund a specific project described as "RECOVERY Tree Planting" at the George Washington Memorial Parkway (GWMP) in the Great Falls, Virginia area. Because the funding is ARRA-based, the award is subject to the heightened transparency and reporting requirements that applied to Recovery Act projects.
The listing is identified by Funding Opportunity Number NPS ARRAGWMP3300100141 and titled "Recovery Act - Tree Planting, GWMP 154799, TAS 14 1035, NAICS 561730 Landscaping Services." It is categorized as a discretionary opportunity and uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, meaning NPS expected to have substantial involvement in carrying out the project rather than issuing a standard procurement contract. The associated NAICS code is 561730 (Landscaping Services), which aligns with field work such as planting and related site restoration activities. The activity category is explicitly labeled as a Recovery Act project.
Only one award was anticipated, and the financial details were fixed: an award floor and ceiling of $144,644, indicating the intended award amount. A cost-sharing or matching requirement is noted as "Yes," meaning the recipient was expected to contribute matching funds or in-kind support consistent with the terms of the cooperative agreement. The CFDA number listed is 15.931, "Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations," which signals that the work likely involved conservation-related engagement and potentially youth service or conservation corps-style participation, consistent with programs that combine on-the-ground stewardship with workforce development.
Eligibility was not broadly open. The eligible applicant category is shown as "Others," but the eligibility field specifies Groundwork USA (GW USA) as the intended recipient. In other words, the announcement functions as a public notice that NPS planned to make the award to Groundwork USA rather than compete it among multiple applicants. The posting date and creation date were May 3, 2010, with an original and current closing date of May 4, 2010, reflecting the short window typical of a notice-of-intent posting rather than a competitive application period. The archive date was June 3, 2010.
For administrative questions or issues accessing the full announcement, the contact listed is Rita Oliver, Contract Specialist, reachable by phone at 301-432-7890 or by email at ritaoliver@nps.gov. Overall, the announcement documents NPS intent to fund a specific ARRA-supported tree planting effort at GWMP near Great Falls, VA through a cooperative agreement with a named partner, with a defined award amount and required Recovery Act reporting.
