Opportunity Summary:
The Central Oregon High Desert Partnership is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) discretionary funding opportunity structured as a cooperative agreement focused on natural resources work in central Oregon. The project is intended to support collaborative, on-the-ground and community-facing efforts on BLM-administered public lands within the Prineville District, particularly in and around Crook County. The overall purpose is to maintain and restore ecological conditions in high desert landscapes, while also expanding environmental education and interpretation efforts and building additional partnership-driven projects that benefit public land management.
This opportunity was issued as a Notice of Intent to award rather than a competitive solicitation, meaning it was not open for general applications. The BLM indicated its intent to make a single award to the Oregon Natural Desert Association (ONDA), identifying ONDA as uniquely qualified due to its mission alignment and practical capacity to contribute. The announcement highlights ONDA's proximity to the district (based in Bend, Oregon, within easy driving distance to much of the Prineville District), its large membership base and ability to recruit and coordinate volunteers, and its organizational resources, including staff with professional natural resource expertise. The BLM also notes ONDA's strong ability to provide cost-sharing support, although the opportunity itself states there is no formal cost-sharing or matching requirement.
From a funding standpoint, the total estimated funding for the award is $11,500, with an award ceiling of $11,500 and an award floor of $0, and the expectation of one total award. The opportunity falls under CFDA 15.237, Rangeland Resource Management, signaling that activities are likely connected to rangeland and broader desert ecosystem stewardship, such as habitat improvement, restoration support, and other measures that maintain or improve ecological function on public lands. Because the instrument is a cooperative agreement, the structure typically implies substantial federal involvement in project coordination or execution compared with a standard grant, aligning with the partnership emphasis described in the notice.
Key dates show the announcement was posted and created on September 11, 2008, with an original and current closing date of September 17, 2008, and an archive date of October 17, 2008. The listed point of contact for access issues was Pamella Sterling, Contract Specialist, at 503-808-6221.
