Opportunity Summary:
The "Yellowstone Frontcountry Youth Work Projects" funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P16AC00682) is a public notice from the National Park Service (NPS), within the Department of the Interior, describing the agency's intent to issue a task agreement under an existing master cooperative agreement. It is not a request for applications and is not being opened up for general competition. Instead, it documents that NPS plans to make one anticipated award through a cooperative agreement (task award) to support youth conservation work in Yellowstone National Park.
The intended recipient is the Montana Conservation Corps, selected because it is an eligible partner under the established 21st Century Conservation Corps Program focused on youth engagement and development. NPS considered three organizations within that program and chose Montana Conservation Corps based on technical qualifications and a longstanding track record of working with NPS to involve young people in hands-on stewardship projects on public lands. The notice explains that full and open competition was not solicited because the work is being executed as a specific task under the pre-existing agreement structure that already authorizes Montana Conservation Corps to carry out these activities.
The project itself centers on field-based "frontcountry" projects, meaning conservation and maintenance work in more accessible, visitor-facing areas of Yellowstone rather than remote backcountry settings. Youth crews are planned to work collaboratively with NPS on a variety of projects during the 2016 season, specifically from June 6 through September 23, 2016, with the overall agreement and period of performance running through September 30, 2016. The announcement emphasizes that NPS expects to be substantially involved in planning and execution, with NPS staff supporting the crews and helping connect the work to partners, local communities, and park visitors as part of shared environmental stewardship.
The anticipated federal funding amount is $67,600, and no cost share is required. The assistance is tied to CFDA 15.931, Youth Conservation Activities, and is authorized under multiple statutory provisions cited in the announcement (including sections of Title 54 and Title 16 of the U.S. Code). Beyond completing on-the-ground work, the project is framed as a youth development and public engagement effort: it is intended to build stewardship ethics among participants, increase public and private participation in preservation and conservation activities, and share information, products, or services developed through the project using various outreach strategies to raise public awareness and support for protecting the nation's natural and cultural heritage.
Administrative details included in the notice identify Tina Holland as the NPS agreement officer point of contact. The opportunity is categorized as "Other" and associated with an education-related activity category, with an expected single award and an award ceiling listed as $0 (reflecting that this is a notice of intent to fund a defined task rather than a competitive grant with a published maximum). The notice was created and posted on May 11, 2016, and displays a closing date of May 21, 2016, which functions more as a posting/notice timeline than an application deadline since applications are not being solicited.
