Opportunity Summary:

The "BLM ID Community Land Use Assessments" opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number BLM ID NOI 09 1311) is a discretionary grant program from the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM), focused on natural resource and recreation planning in Idaho. The work centers on conducting Community Recreation and Tourism Assessments designed to capture local perspectives on public land use. In practical terms, the project is meant to gather structured input from community members and stakeholders about their vision for the surrounding landscape, the kinds of recreation and tourism opportunities they value, and the benefits they want to receive from nearby public lands. The intent is to translate community priorities into usable information that can inform land management discussions, recreation planning, and tourism-related decision-making.

Funding is expected to total about $30,000, with one award anticipated. The assistance instrument is a Cooperative Agreement, which generally signals that the BLM expects to be substantially involved in the project beyond simply providing funds, often through collaboration on scope, deliverables, coordination, or review. The activity aligns with CFDA 15.225, Recreation Resource Management, and it does not require cost sharing or a matching contribution.

Eligibility is limited in a specific way. While the eligible applicant category is listed as nonprofits with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), the notice is explicitly described as a Notice of Intent to award funds to SCIRDA due to unique qualifications. That kind of wording typically indicates the agency is planning a noncompetitive or sole-source award because it believes the named organization is uniquely positioned to perform the work, for example due to local relationships, specialized expertise, or prior relevant experience. The opportunity was posted June 24, 2009, with a closing date of July 17, 2009, and it was archived on August 16, 2009, meaning it is no longer open.

For applicants or interested parties who needed the full announcement details at the time, the listing referenced Grants.gov as the source for additional information. The grants management contact provided was Melinda D. Ritacco (mritacco@blm.gov), identified as the Grants Management Officer, with a note to reach out if there were issues accessing the announcement electronically.
