Opportunity Summary:

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) announced a discretionary cooperative agreement opportunity titled "Management of Wildlife and Fishery Habitat in New Mexico" (Funding Opportunity Number L13AS00212) to support on-the-ground conservation work across BLM-administered lands in New Mexico. The central purpose is to continue an established, cooperative partnership with the New Mexico Department of Game and Fish, focusing on conserving, enhancing, and managing fish and wildlife populations and the habitats they rely on. The program is structured as an ongoing, collaborative effort rather than a one-time project, with yearly work plans that can shift based on changing resource conditions, emerging needs, and agency priorities, as long as the overall habitat and species management goals are met.

This opportunity falls under the Environment and Natural Resources activity category and is tied to CFDA 15.231 (Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management). The funding instrument is a Cooperative Agreement, which typically signals that BLM expects substantial involvement in shaping, coordinating, or overseeing the work alongside the partner agency. In practical terms, that means the supported activities are intended to be jointly planned and carried out to produce mutual benefits for wildlife and fisheries resources on BLM lands, while also aligning with the state agency's management responsibilities and expertise.

BLM anticipated making a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $1,000,000. The stated award ceiling is $1,000,000, and the award floor is $38,703, indicating that the agreement could range from a smaller targeted effort up to a full million-dollar program depending on what is proposed and approved. No cost sharing or matching requirement was listed, which means applicants would not be required to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of eligibility or award, though voluntary contributions can sometimes still be included depending on the program design.

While the eligible applicants field is marked "Unrestricted," the eligibility narrative clarifies that this notice of intent is specifically for continuation of an ongoing program and projects with the New Mexico Department of Game and Fish. That language strongly indicates the practical intent is to continue work with that existing partner rather than open a broad competitive field, even if the general system category appears open. The posting and creation date were August 24, 2013, and the original and current closing dates were both September 4, 2013, reflecting a short window typical of continuation or non-competitive renewal style announcements.

Applicants were directed to use the application materials and instructions available through the announcement's application section, and the listed point of contact for access issues was Janet Yvonne Huff, Grants Management Officer at BLM, reachable at 505-761-8941 or jhuff@blm.gov.
