Opportunity Information: Apply for NPSNOIVALLP19AC00555
The opportunity titled "Forest and range restoration with Youth Conservation Corps on the Valles Caldera National Preserve" is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding action under the U.S. Department of the Interior. It is associated with funding opportunity number NPSNOIVALLP19AC00555 and falls under the Natural Resources funding activity category (CFDA 15.944). The instrument type is a cooperative agreement, which typically means the NPS expects to be substantially involved in the planning, execution, or oversight of the work rather than simply issuing a hands-off grant.
This notice is explicitly not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as a public notice that the NPS intends to make a single task agreement award under an existing master cooperative agreement that was either previously competed or justified as a single-source arrangement. In practical terms, that means the agency is not opening a new competition to the general public through this posting; it is announcing its intent to fund work through an already-established partner relationship and agreement structure. The posting exists mainly for transparency, letting the public know that federal funds are planned to be awarded for this purpose and through that specific mechanism.
The project focus is forest and rangeland restoration work on the Valles Caldera National Preserve, paired with participation by a Youth Conservation Corps. While the notice itself does not list detailed tasks, the title indicates hands-on conservation and restoration activities that benefit forest and range conditions within the preserve, while simultaneously providing youth with conservation experience and workforce development opportunities. The use of a cooperative agreement and a Youth Conservation Corps framework suggests on-the-ground fieldwork managed in coordination with NPS staff, with an emphasis on both resource stewardship outcomes and youth engagement.
Eligibility listed for the opportunity is nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). However, because the announcement is not soliciting applications, the eligibility information mainly reflects the type of organization that could receive funding under this pathway, rather than inviting new applicants to submit proposals. The notice indicates an expected number of awards of one, with an award ceiling of $71,420, meaning the anticipated funding for the task agreement is not expected to exceed that amount.
Key dates included are a creation date of June 4, 2019, and an original closing date of June 14, 2019. With notices like this, the "closing date" generally functions as an administrative posting period for the intent-to-award notice rather than a deadline for submitting applications, since no applications are being requested.
In short, this is a transparency notice that the National Park Service planned to issue one cooperative agreement task award (up to $71,420) for natural resource restoration work on the Valles Caldera National Preserve involving a Youth Conservation Corps, executed under a pre-existing master cooperative agreement rather than through a new open application process.Apply for NPSNOIVALLP19AC00555
