Opportunity Summary:
The "Vegetation and Social Trails Denali National Park" opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P12AS10414) is a National Park Service (NPS), Alaska Region notice stating its intent to make a sole-source cooperative agreement under the Public Lands Corps Act of 1993. The project is framed as a youth conservation effort focused on conserving natural and cultural resources and maintaining environmentally important lands and waters in Denali National Park by employing young adults in hands-on field work. The core idea is that conservation corps crews can deliver practical restoration and maintenance outcomes while also giving participants real job skills, environmental education, and a stronger connection between daily life and stewardship of public lands.
The intended partner for this sole-source award is the Southeast Alaska Guidance Association/Youth Corps (SAGA), identified as a Public Lands Corps cooperator. NPS emphasizes SAGA's role in providing education and work opportunities that build appreciation for natural and cultural resources and help participants work toward higher education, while also producing benefits for local economies and the environment. The announcement highlights the broader track record of youth conservation corps as a cost-effective and efficient way to restore and maintain resources, suggesting that the Denali work will combine mission-driven conservation outcomes with workforce development for young adults.
Administratively, this is a discretionary funding opportunity using a cooperative agreement (meaning NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project rather than simply issuing a grant and stepping back). The activity category is Natural Resources, and the CFDA listing is 15.931, "Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations." The announcement indicates there is one expected award, with total estimated funding of $30,000. The award ceiling and floor are both $30,000, which effectively means the planned agreement amount is fixed at $30,000 rather than a range.
Cost sharing is required. Under the Public Lands Corps Act, participants must provide a 25 percent match to federal funds, meaning the recipient must contribute non-federal resources equal to one quarter of the federal share, consistent with how match requirements are typically applied for Public Lands Corps-supported projects. The opportunity lists eligible applicants as nonprofits that do not have 501(c)(3) status with the IRS (other than institutions of higher education), aligning with the specialized Public Lands Corps cooperator framework and the sole-source intent described in the notice.
Key dates included in the posting show it was posted and created on April 30, 2012, with an original and current closing date of May 29, 2012, and an archive date of June 28, 2012. For access issues or administrative questions about the full announcement, the contact listed is Tina Spengler, Contract Specialist, at 907-644-3303.
