Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "RECOVERY (ARRA) National Park Service 141035 GRTE 154260 Green Renewable Energy Efficient Network at Grand Teton National Park" is a National Park Service funding action posted on September 29, 2010 under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). It is listed as a discretionary opportunity using a cooperative agreement instrument, with an estimated total funding amount of $164,997. The activity area is categorized under Natural Resources, and it is associated with CFDA number 15.931, "Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations." Only one award is expected.
This notice is not an open competition and it is not a request for applications. Instead, it functions as a formal notice of intent to make a single-source, noncompetitive award. The announcement states that the work will be issued as a task agreement under an existing master agreement between the Mountain States Alliance and the National Park Service. The noncompetitive nature of the award is explicitly justified as being in accordance with Department of the Interior policy, referenced as DOI 505 DM 2.12C, which is the internal authority cited for proceeding without a competitive solicitation.
In practical terms, the posting is mainly informational and administrative: it signals that the National Park Service intends to move forward with one specific partner rather than solicit proposals from the broader public. The eligible applicant information reinforces this by stating that the funding announcement is a single source award to the Southwest Conservation Corps, meaning other organizations are not being invited to apply through this announcement even though the system may list a general eligibility category like "Others." A cost sharing or matching requirement is marked as "Yes," indicating the selected recipient is expected to provide some form of match, whether cash or in-kind contributions, as part of the cooperative agreement arrangement.
The timeline for the posting is extremely short, with an original and current closing date of September 30, 2010, one day after the posted date, and an archive date of October 30, 2010. This short window is typical for notices of intent and sole-source postings because the purpose is not to collect applications, but to meet transparency requirements and document the government’s intent to award funds under a specific authority and arrangement.
For further details or if the full announcement materials were difficult to access online, the listed point of contact is Tom Forsyth, Contracting Officer, reachable by phone at 303-969-2796.
