Opportunity Summary:
The "YCC Program to Serve Southern Utah Regional Park Partners" funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIR1360120016) is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding action intended to support natural resource-related work through a cooperative agreement. Rather than being an open competition, it is issued as a notice of intent to make a noncompetitive, single-source award under the National Park Service Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). The announcement cites the Department of the Interior policy basis for this approach (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C), which is commonly used when an agency has a documented justification to award to a specific entity without soliciting proposals from the broader public.
The award is structured as a task agreement under the Colorado Plateau CESU framework, meaning it is part of an established cooperative research and training partnership mechanism used by NPS and partner institutions. The activity category is Natural Resources, and the CFDA listing provided is 15.945, identified as "Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System." The title indicates the work is associated with a Youth Conservation Corps (YCC) program serving regional park partners in Southern Utah, which typically involves youth-focused conservation or stewardship projects delivered in coordination with public lands and park entities, although the short notice itself primarily emphasizes the administrative award mechanism rather than describing the project scope in detail.
In terms of funding, the opportunity lists an estimated total funding amount of $49,600, with one expected award. Both the award ceiling and floor are shown as $0 in the listing, which generally signals that the formal funding range was not populated in the database record even though an estimated total amount is provided. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement associated with the award.
Eligibility is not broadly available because this is not a request for applications. The posting explicitly states it is a single-source award to Southern University, and the "Eligible Applicants" field is effectively overridden by that restriction. The opportunity was posted on May 30, 2012, and closed on June 4, 2012, with an archive date of July 4, 2012, reflecting that the public notice period was brief and primarily served as documentation of the agency's intent to proceed with a directed award rather than to solicit submissions.
