Opportunity Summary:

The BLM WY Soils Salinity Risk Mapping Assessment Project (CESU) is a U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Wyoming State Office funding opportunity aimed at supporting natural resource management work focused on soils and salinity risk mapping and assessment in Wyoming. The award is planned as a cooperative agreement, which typically means BLM expects to have substantial involvement during the project rather than simply providing funds with minimal interaction. The work is intended to be carried out through a partnership with the University of Wyoming, specifically the Wyoming Geographic Information Science Center (WyGISC) within the Department of Renewable Resources, indicating a strong geospatial and applied resource management emphasis.

This posting functions as a notice of intent to award rather than an open, broadly competitive solicitation. Eligibility is limited to a CESU entity within the Great Plains Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Units (CESU) network, and the listed eligible applicant type is public and state-controlled institutions of higher education. In practical terms, the announcement signals that BLM is planning to make the award to the University of Wyoming through the CESU framework, which is commonly used by federal agencies to collaborate with universities on research, technical assistance, and applied science that supports land and ecosystem management decisions.

The anticipated project period is five years, with a maximum total duration of 60 months. Continued funding is not automatically guaranteed across the entire period; instead, BLM indicates it will consider continuation based on two main factors: first, whether the recipient demonstrates progress that BLM deems satisfactory toward the program goals, and second, whether continued support is in the government’s best interest and funds remain available. This structure reflects a typical multi-year federal assistance approach where performance and appropriations affect annual or incremental funding decisions.

Financially, the opportunity lists an estimated total funding level of $300,000 for the project, with no cost sharing or matching requirement. The associated CFDA program number is 15.236, identified as Environmental Quality and Protection Resource Management, which aligns with projects that provide applied information and tools for managing environmental conditions on public lands. The opportunity was posted on July 31, 2009, with an original and current closing date of August 20, 2009, and an archive date of October 1, 2009, reflecting that it is an older, time-limited notice rather than an ongoing call.
