Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Resource Stewardship Programs involving youth in NPS Bay Area Parks" is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding action focused on natural resource stewardship work in Bay Area national park units. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, meaning the NPS expects substantial involvement in carrying out the project rather than simply issuing a stand-alone grant with minimal federal participation. The stated purpose is to support resource stewardship programs that involve youth, which generally points to hands-on conservation and park management activities that both benefit park resources and provide young people with practical experience in stewardship, field skills, and public lands service.
This notice is not an open competition and it is not a request for proposals. Instead, it is a Notice of Intent to make a single-source, noncompetitive award under Department of the Interior policy cited as DOI 505 DM 2.12C. The announcement explains that the action will result in a Task Agreement Award under an existing Cooperative Agreement, identified as Cooperative Agreement Number H8538080033. In practice, that means the relationship and framework for collaboration already exist, and this specific funding action is being issued as a task agreement under that umbrella agreement, with the scope centered on youth-involved resource stewardship programming in NPS Bay Area parks.
Only one award was expected, with an estimated total funding amount of $143,066 and an award ceiling also listed as $143,066, indicating the full intended amount for the single project. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated, so the recipient is not required by this announcement to provide matching funds as a condition of the award. The CFDA program number associated with the opportunity is 15.944 (Natural Resource Stewardship), aligning the activity with conservation, resource protection, and stewardship goals within the National Park Service mission.
Eligibility is effectively limited by the single-source designation. The announcement specifies that the award is intended for the Point Reyes National Seashore Association, and the "Eligible Applicants" field is described broadly as "Others," with clarification in the eligibility text that this is a single-source award to that organization. As a result, other entities should not interpret this posting as an opportunity to apply competitively; it functions primarily as a public notice that NPS intends to fund this specific partner for this specific work under the cited cooperative agreement authority.
Timing information reflects the administrative nature of the notice. The opportunity was posted and created on August 13, 2011, with an original and current closing date of August 17, 2011, and an archive date of September 16, 2011. Those short windows are typical of noncompetitive notices, since the agency is not soliciting applications and is instead documenting an intended award action and providing transparency about the planned obligation of funds.
