Opportunity Summary:
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) posted a discretionary funding opportunity titled "1 Meter Resolution Digital Ortho Imagery over areas of Southern Nevada" (Funding Opportunity Number: NV NOI 08 0004) to support the creation of high-resolution digital orthoimagery in parts of southern Nevada. The basic purpose is to complete missing imagery coverage that was left unresolved after the U.S. Department of Agriculture's 2006 National Agricultural Imagery Program (NAIP) project in Nevada. Those gaps exist specifically in Clark, Lincoln, and Nye counties, largely in the areas bordering the Nellis Air Force Base no-fly zone, where standard aerial collection was constrained. The missing areas matter because they include a mix of high-priority public lands and infrastructure corridors, such as sections of a National Forest, a National Wildlife Refuge, Bureau of Land Management lands, major highway rights-of-way, and locations receiving heightened attention related to water resource development. In practical terms, the project is aimed at producing a consistent, accurate, map-grade imagery layer (orthorectified, so it aligns correctly with the ground) at 1-meter resolution so agencies and stakeholders have dependable visual basemaps for planning, resource management, and analysis in those previously unmapped or under-mapped zones.
The anticipated award structure is a single cooperative agreement, with BLM expecting to make one award. Total estimated funding is listed as $150,000, with an award ceiling of $150,000 and an award floor of $1, indicating that the funding amount could vary but is capped at $150,000 for the project. The opportunity also indicates a cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient would be expected to contribute some portion of project costs or resources (cash or in-kind support), consistent with the terms that would be negotiated under the cooperative agreement. The funding activity category is Natural Resources, and the CFDA number provided is 15.231 (Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management), placing it within a broader federal assistance framework tied to conservation, land management, and related resource planning needs.
A key detail is that this notice is explicitly not a request for applications in the typical competitive sense. Instead, it serves as public notice that BLM intended to fund the project without full and open competition, using a single-source determination based on an unsolicited proposal. The rationale provided is that the proposed award stems from an unsolicited assistance application offering a unique or innovative idea, method, or approach that is not already covered by a current or planned contract or assistance award, but is considered advantageous to BLM program objectives. In other words, rather than inviting multiple applicants to compete, BLM was signaling that it planned to move forward with one specific proposal because it met a specialized need in a way BLM found particularly beneficial.
Eligibility is listed for local governments, specifically county governments and city or township governments, which aligns with the regional, county-spanning nature of the imagery gaps and the common role local jurisdictions play in geospatial data acquisition and sharing partnerships. The opportunity was posted and created on February 12, 2008, with an original and current closing date of February 29, 2008, and an archive date of March 15, 2008, indicating a short public-notice window typical of single-source announcements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is the title of this BLM funding opportunity?
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) posted a discretionary funding opportunity titled "1 Meter Resolution Digital Ortho Imagery over areas of Southern Nevada."
What is the Funding Opportunity Number?
The Funding Opportunity Number is NV NOI 08 0004.
What is the main purpose of the project?
The purpose is to create high-resolution (1-meter) digital orthoimagery for parts of southern Nevada where imagery coverage is missing. The project is intended to complete gaps left unresolved after the U.S. Department of Agriculture's 2006 National Agricultural Imagery Program (NAIP) project in Nevada.
Why are there imagery gaps in the target area?
The gaps exist largely near areas bordering the Nellis Air Force Base no-fly zone, where standard aerial imagery collection was constrained. As a result, some locations in southern Nevada were left unmapped or under-mapped in the 2006 NAIP effort.
Which counties in Nevada are included?
The missing imagery coverage is specifically in Clark County, Lincoln County, and Nye County.
What types of lands and corridors are included in the missing coverage areas?
The missing areas include a mix of high-priority public lands and infrastructure corridors, including sections of a National Forest, a National Wildlife Refuge, Bureau of Land Management lands, major highway rights-of-way, and locations receiving heightened attention related to water resource development.
What is meant by "1-meter resolution" in this opportunity?
It refers to imagery produced at a 1-meter spatial resolution, intended to provide a consistent, map-grade visual basemap layer for planning, resource management, and analysis.
What is "digital orthoimagery" and why does it matter for this project?
The opportunity describes imagery that is orthorectified, meaning it is corrected so it aligns accurately with the ground. This helps agencies and stakeholders use the imagery as a dependable basemap for mapping and analysis in areas that previously lacked consistent coverage.
What is the funding activity category for this opportunity?
