Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Restore disturbed lands" (Funding Opportunity Number NPSNOIORPI100085) is a National Park Service discretionary funding notice connected to natural resources work at Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument. The core purpose is to support restoration efforts on disturbed lands and to expand and improve the park's plant nursery, which is a practical on-the-ground capacity needed to grow and supply native plants used in restoration projects. In addition to nursery expansion, the work described includes locating damage caused by off-road vehicle use and assessing whether those impacted areas can be restored, which ties the nursery work directly to field restoration needs by identifying where plant materials and rehabilitation efforts may be most useful.
This announcement is explicitly labeled as "for informational purposes only" and functions as a Notice of Intent rather than a broadly competed grant solicitation. The National Park Service indicates it plans to award a task agreement under an existing cooperative agreement, with the intended recipient being the Student Conservation Association. In other words, it is not presented as an open competition for multiple applicants; instead, it documents the agency's intention to fund a specific partner through an established agreement vehicle. The funding instrument is a Cooperative Agreement, which generally implies substantial involvement or collaboration by the federal agency in carrying out the project, rather than a more hands-off grant structure.
Funding details show a single expected award with an estimated total funding amount of $25,814. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed, and both the award ceiling and award floor are shown as $0, which commonly appears in notices that are not structured as competitive solicitations with variable award ranges, or where the precise award amount is defined through the associated task agreement rather than in the public notice. The CFDA number tied to the opportunity is 15.931, "Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations," which aligns with the involvement of the Student Conservation Association and suggests a youth conservation workforce component to carrying out field assessments and restoration support.
Timing information reflects how narrow and administrative the notice is: it was posted on August 24, 2010, with an original and current closing date of August 25, 2010, and it was archived shortly thereafter on August 27, 2010. That short window is consistent with a Notice of Intent to make an award to a named organization rather than a solicitation seeking new applications from the public. For questions or difficulty accessing the full announcement, the listed contact is Rhonda Martinez, Contract Specialist at the National Park Service, at (505) 988-6042.
In practical terms, this opportunity is about strengthening restoration capacity at Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument by improving nursery operations and linking that capacity to direct restoration planning needs, specifically by identifying off-road vehicle damage and evaluating which areas are suitable for rehabilitation. The administrative structure and eligibility language indicate the agency had already identified its partner and mechanism for the work and published the notice primarily to document that intended award.
