Opportunity Summary:
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) announced a discretionary funding opportunity titled "Rare Plant Field Guide update for plants in the State of Colorado" under Funding Opportunity Number L11AS00217. The goal of the project is to produce an updated version of the Colorado Rare Plant Field Guide originally published in 1997. The work includes revising and modernizing the existing species information from the 1997 guide and expanding the guide by adding approximately 100 new species profiles. In practical terms, the award supports efforts that improve the accuracy, completeness, and usefulness of a key reference used for rare plant identification, conservation planning, and natural resource management in Colorado.
This opportunity was offered as a cooperative agreement, which generally means the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement during the project period (for example, coordinating on scope, reviewing deliverables, or providing technical input) rather than simply issuing a grant with minimal engagement. The activity category is Natural Resources, and it falls under CFDA 15.231, Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management, indicating the project aligns with broader conservation and resource stewardship goals.
BLM anticipated making a single award (ExpectedAwards: 1) with an estimated total funding amount of $50,000. The stated award ceiling was $50,000, and the award floor was $1,200, meaning proposals could be funded anywhere within that range depending on the submitted budget, project design, and agency priorities. A cost-sharing or matching requirement applied, so applicants needed to contribute a portion of the project resources (cash and/or allowable in-kind support) as part of the overall project cost.
Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, meaning the competition was open to any type of applicant entity as long as the applicant met any additional eligibility conditions described in the full announcement. Applicants were directed to the application materials and full instructions via the "application" tab associated with the announcement (referenced as the Additional Information Link).
The timeline for the opportunity shows it was posted and created on August 11, 2011, with an original and current closing date of September 2, 2011. The archive date was October 2, 2011, indicating the opportunity was no longer active after that point. For technical issues accessing the full announcement electronically, the listed point of contact was Ruth Raisanen, Contracting Officer, reachable by phone at 303-239-3605 or by email at ruthannraisanen@blm.gov.
