Opportunity Summary:
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) offered a discretionary cooperative agreement opportunity titled "Plant Material Development of Native Species Beneficial to Sage Grouse in the State of Colorado" (Funding Opportunity Number L11AS00221). The purpose of the award was to increase the availability of affordable, appropriate native plant materials specifically suited to restoring and improving sagebrush ecosystem habitats used by sage grouse. The work was focused on habitats that are currently occupied or considered suitable within the Colorado Plateau Ecoregion, with explicit relevance to both Gunnison sage-grouse and Greater sage-grouse ranges in Colorado. In practical terms, the project intent was to support on-the-ground restoration and enhancement efforts by ensuring that restoration practitioners have reliable access to the right native species and enough of them to meet habitat objectives.
The funding mechanism was a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates that BLM expected to have substantial involvement during the project rather than simply issuing a grant with minimal federal participation. The opportunity fell under the Natural Resources activity category and was listed under CFDA 15.231 (Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management), reflecting its wildlife conservation and habitat management goals. The announcement anticipated a single award, suggesting BLM sought one primary partner to carry out the plant material development effort at the scale needed to support sage grouse habitat work.
Financially, the opportunity offered an estimated total of $460,000, with an award ceiling of $460,000 and an award floor of $1,200. No cost sharing or matching requirement was indicated, meaning applicants were not required to contribute non-federal matching funds as a condition of eligibility. Eligibility was described as unrestricted, open to any type of entity, subject to any clarifications included in the full announcement materials.
Key dates show that the opportunity was posted on August 11, 2011, created on August 12, 2011, and had an application deadline of September 1, 2011 (the original and current closing date were the same). The opportunity was archived on September 30, 2011. Applicants were directed to the application materials and full instructions via the "Application" tab referenced in the notice. For access issues or questions, the contact listed was Ruth A. Raisanen at BLM, reachable by phone at 303-239-3605 and by email at rraisane@blm.gov.
