Opportunity Summary:
The BLM ID Pocatello Field Office Noxious Weed Management opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number BLM ID NOI 1088) is a U.S. Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management grant focused on controlling invasive and noxious weeds on public lands within county boundaries in the Pocatello Field Office area of Idaho. It falls under the Natural Resources activity category and is tied to CFDA 15.230, Invasive and Noxious Plant Management. The core purpose is straightforward: support on-the-ground weed management efforts that protect rangelands, wildlife habitat, watersheds, and other public-land resources from the spread and impacts of invasive plant species.
This funding was offered as a discretionary award using a cooperative agreement, which typically means BLM expects to stay involved in the project beyond simply providing funds, such as coordinating priorities, approving work plans, or collaborating on implementation and reporting. The opportunity anticipated a single award. While the estimated total funding listed is $15,000, the award ceiling is $5,000 (with an award floor of $0), indicating that individual awards were intended to be relatively small and likely targeted to specific tasks, treatment areas, or incremental phases of broader weed management work.
Eligibility for this opportunity was limited to county governments. Importantly, the eligibility note states that this was a notice of intent to award additional funds to continuing projects, meaning it was not a typical open competition for brand-new applicants. Instead, it was aimed at supporting or extending previously funded, ongoing weed control projects that were already underway and aligned with BLM management objectives. The listing indicates there was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so counties were not required to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of receiving the award.
Key timeline details show the announcement was posted June 3, 2009, with an original closing date of June 12, 2009, later extended to a current closing date of August 14, 2009. The opportunity was archived September 13, 2009. For applicants or interested parties seeking the full announcement at the time, the information was available through Grants.gov, and the point of contact listed for access issues was Melinda D. Ritacco, Grants Management Officer, reachable at mritacco@blm.gov.
