Opportunity Summary:
The opportunity titled "Task Agreement to Cultivate Community Participation in Pinnacles National Park Stewardship" (Funding Opportunity Number P14AS00373) is a National Park Service notice stating its intent to make a cooperative agreement award for stewardship and community participation work connected to Pinnacles National Park. It falls under the Natural Resources funding activity category and is associated with CFDA 15.954, National Park Service Conservation, Protection, Outreach, and Education. The main point of the announcement is that it is not an open solicitation; it is a Notice of Intent to Award, meaning the agency is providing public notice that it plans to fund a specific organization without full and open competition.
This planned award is structured under an existing umbrella cooperative agreement that the National Park Service has already established with the named partner organization. Rather than seeking new proposals, the Park Service uses this umbrella arrangement to fund specific, defined projects through individual task agreements. For this particular task agreement, the identified cooperator is the Pinnacles Partnership, which is the organization the Park Service intends to support for the described activities related to cultivating community involvement in stewardship of the park. The announcement also references an attached Notice of Intent and Single Source Justification, which would contain the formal rationale for why a single-source (non-competitive) approach is being used.
Funding details indicate an estimated total funding amount of $27,528 for this posting, while also noting that the total anticipated awards under the task agreement mechanism should not exceed $100,000. The listed award ceiling is $100,000 and the award floor is $0, reflecting the maximum potential amount that could be issued under the task agreement framework even though the immediate estimated amount is lower. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement stated, so the recipient is not expected to provide mandatory matching funds as a condition of the award.
Eligibility is listed broadly as nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), but in practical terms the announcement is not inviting applications because the intended recipient is already identified. Key dates show the notice was posted and created on September 18, 2014, with an original and current closing date of September 22, 2014, and an archive date of September 26, 2014. The short open window is consistent with a public notice posting rather than a competitive grant cycle, since the purpose is transparency about the agency's planned action rather than collecting proposals.
For additional information or help accessing the full announcement, the contact person listed is Yvonne Morales at the National Park Service, reachable at 415-464-5221 or yvonnemorales@nps.gov.
