Opportunity Summary:

The Crude Helium Compressor Station Compression Unit 1 opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number BLM NM NOI 09 1256) is a Department of the Interior discretionary grant offered through a cooperative agreement focused on helium resources and helium resource management (CFDA 15.240). The purpose of the award is to support the second five-year period of an ongoing arrangement that helps cover capital investment fees tied to the construction and continued maintenance of the Crude Helium Compressor Station (CHCS). In practical terms, the CHCS is critical infrastructure that compresses and enables the delivery of crude helium at the volumes and purity levels required by helium refiners, helping ensure that helium entering the refining system meets operational needs.

Funding under this announcement is structured as a single expected award, with an estimated total funding amount of $5,000,000 listed for the opportunity overall. The award size is tightly defined: both the ceiling and the floor are stated as $816,000, indicating an anticipated fixed award amount rather than a wide competitive range. The opportunity explicitly notes that there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants are not required to contribute a percentage of project costs as a condition of receiving the award.

Eligibility is limited to for-profit organizations other than small businesses. The activity category is listed as "Other," with the clarification that it falls under helium resources, which aligns with the infrastructure and operations focus of the CHCS and the broader federal role in helium resource management. Because the instrument is a cooperative agreement, the relationship typically implies more substantial federal involvement or coordination than a standard grant, reflecting the operational importance of the compressor station and its role in delivering helium suitable for refining.

Key dates included in the posting indicate the opportunity was posted on June 30, 2009, created on August 11, 2009, with an original closing date of August 11, 2009, later extended to a current closing date of September 15, 2009. The archive date is October 30, 2009. Additional details and the full announcement were made available via Grants.gov, and the listed point of contact for access issues was Janet Y. Huff (jhuff@blm.gov).
