Opportunity Summary:
The Lincoln County Backcountry Access and Planning Project (Funding Opportunity Number NV NOI080012) is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) discretionary funding notice describing the agency's intent to award a single cooperative agreement for wilderness planning and related public outreach work in Lincoln County, Nevada. This notice is explicitly not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as formal public notice that BLM plans to fund specific project activities without full and open competition, meaning the agency already has a planned recipient or partnership approach in mind rather than running a competitive grant process.
The project is tied to the Lincoln County Conservation, Recreation, and Development Act of 2004, which established 14 new Wilderness Areas in Lincoln County. The work described is a continuation of a longer-running planning effort that started in September 2006, when the Great Basin Institute and BLM began working together on wilderness planning. The core purpose is to support management planning that balances wilderness resource protection with practical backcountry access considerations, while also improving public education and information related to wilderness rules. In other words, the funding supports both on-the-ground planning to help guide how these newly designated wilderness areas are managed and communication efforts to help visitors understand permitted uses, restrictions, and responsible recreation expectations.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, the opportunity is categorized under Natural Resources, with the CFDA program listed as 15.225 Recreation Resource Management. BLM anticipated making one award with total estimated funding of $400,000, and both the award floor and ceiling are listed as $400,000, indicating a single, fixed-size award rather than a range of possible award amounts. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement noted for the recipient, which means the project was intended to be fully supported by federal funds under the cooperative agreement structure.
The eligibility field lists "Nonprofits that do not have a 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, other than institutions of higher education." In practice, because this is a non-competitive notice of intent rather than an open solicitation, that eligibility language functions more as a classification of the intended partner type than an invitation for new applicants to compete. The opportunity was posted and created on April 16, 2008, had an original and current closing date of April 30, 2008, and was archived on May 1, 2008, reflecting its role as a time-bounded public notice rather than an application window for competing proposals.
