Opportunity Summary:
The Volunteer Coordinator Interns opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS PWR J9458100009) is a National Park Service notice stating its intent to fund a specific project at Mount Rainier National Park in Ashford, Washington, through a cooperative agreement. It falls under the discretionary funding category and is tied to CFDA 15.931, Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations, which generally supports conservation-related work carried out with youth or service-focused conservation organizations. The announcement was posted on April 22, 2010, with a listed closing date of May 14, 2010, and an archive date of June 13, 2010.
A central point of this notice is that it is not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as public notice that the Department of the Interior, National Park Service, intends to make a single-source, noncompetitive award to the Student Conservation Association (SCA), located at 689 River Road, Charleston, New Hampshire 03603. In practical terms, this means the NPS is not soliciting competing proposals from other organizations; it is documenting and communicating its decision to proceed with one identified partner.
The planned award is described as a six-month task agreement issued under an existing umbrella cooperative agreement (H2495090023 MOD 1). The expected number of awards is one, and the estimated total funding is $32,000, which is also listed as the award ceiling (with an award floor of $1). The funding instrument type is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates a relationship where the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the project compared with a standard grant.
The rationale provided for limiting competition is based on Department of the Interior policy (referencing Departmental Manual 505 DM 22) and is justified by “unique qualifications” and cost sharing. The notice states that SCA is considered uniquely qualified due to factors such as its location, capacity to provide or manage volunteer support, ability to contribute cost sharing, technical expertise, and other specialized qualifications referenced in the supporting documentation. The listing also indicates that cost sharing or matching is required, meaning the project is expected to include some level of non-federal contribution (cash or in-kind), consistent with the justification that cost sharing is part of the basis for the single-source approach.
Eligibility is listed broadly as nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), but because this is a public notice of a noncompetitive, single-source intent rather than an open solicitation, that eligibility statement does not function as an invitation for others to apply. The contact for access issues or questions about the announcement is JoAnn Palmer, Purchasing Agent, Contracting Office, Mount Rainier National Park, at 360-569-2211.
