Opportunity Summary:
This notice is a National Park Service (DOI-NPS) cooperative agreement opportunity focused on prairie restoration and invasive species-related field work in the Northern Great Plains. It is explicitly labeled "THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR APPLICATIONS," meaning it is not an open, competitive call for proposals. Instead, it documents an intended award under an existing relationship: the Montana Conservation Corps (MCC) is identified as the recipient because it already holds a Master Cooperative Agreement (P13AC00631) that authorizes it to carry out specific, pre-defined tasks with the NPS.
The core purpose is to support on-the-ground restoration work across the 13 National Park Service units served by the Northern Great Plains Exotic Plant Management Team. Under the arrangement described, MCC supplies field crews to implement prairie restoration projects, while personnel from the NPS Exotic Plant Management Team provide supervision and oversight of those crews during work in the parks. In practical terms, the cooperative nature of the agreement is reflected in shared involvement: MCC contributes labor crews and project execution capacity, and NPS staff guide, oversee, and coordinate the work to ensure it aligns with park needs and restoration objectives.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, the opportunity is categorized as discretionary and uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, with an award ceiling of $600,000 and an expectation of a single award. The program aligns with multiple activity categories, including environment, natural resources, and education/employment-related training, which fits the model of conservation corps programs that combine conservation outcomes with hands-on workforce development and educational experiences. The CFDA number listed is 15.931, and the opportunity number is NPS NOIP13AC00631. The posting and creation dates are both February 19, 2016, with a closing date of February 29, 2016, although that date functions more as an administrative marker than a true application deadline since the notice is not soliciting applications.
Eligibility is effectively limited by design. While the field may list "Others" as eligible applicants, the narrative clarifies that the recipient is MCC under the existing master agreement, which is why this is presented as a notice of intent rather than a request for applications. The end goal is an effective restoration and educational project outcome for the NPS, achieved through supervised field crew support delivering prairie restoration work within Northern Great Plains park units.
