Recovery Act Idaho BLM Statewide Noxious and Invasive Weed Treatments | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The "Recovery Act - Idaho BLM Statewide Noxious and Invasive Weed Treatments" opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number BLM ID RFA 10 0001) is a discretionary federal grant offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM). It was issued under the Recovery Act funding category and is intended to support on-the-ground actions that control existing noxious weed infestations, reduce their continued spread, and prevent new invasions across public lands in Idaho managed by the BLM. In practical terms, the program focus is invasive and noxious plant management at a statewide scale, emphasizing treatments and related implementation activities that protect native plant communities, wildlife habitat, rangeland productivity, watershed function, and overall land health.

The funding instrument for this opportunity is a Cooperative Agreement, which generally means the BLM expects substantial involvement during the project period rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back. Cooperative agreements are commonly used when the agency anticipates coordination on planning, priorities, treatment approaches, compliance needs, reporting, or integration with broader BLM weed management strategies. The opportunity lists one expected award, indicating the agency planned to fund a single project or a single lead recipient coordinating work that may cover multiple treatment locations or partner efforts statewide.

This announcement provided a total estimated funding amount of $1,316,500, and it set the award ceiling and award floor at the same value ($1,316,500). That structure signals a fixed, full-award amount rather than a range, which typically implies the agency had a specific budget allocation and intended to make one award at that exact level. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of eligibility, though voluntary contributions or leveraged resources may still have been viewed as beneficial depending on the full announcement details.

Eligibility is listed as "Unrestricted," meaning the competition was open to any type of entity, subject to clarifications that may have been included in the full text under "Additional Information on Eligibility." In similar BLM opportunities, eligible entities often include state and local governments, tribal governments, universities, nonprofit organizations, and other qualified organizations capable of executing large-scale invasive plant treatment and monitoring work in coordination with federal land managers.

The grant is associated with CFDA number 15.231, Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management, which aligns with projects that conserve and manage biological resources on public lands. The core purpose, as stated in the announcement, is straightforward: to control and reduce the spread of noxious weeds and prevent further invasion on public lands. While the short description does not list specific treatment methods, weed management projects supported under this kind of funding commonly include integrated approaches such as mechanical removal, targeted herbicide applications, biological control where appropriate, revegetation or restoration actions to re-establish desirable plant communities, and post-treatment monitoring to verify effectiveness and prevent reinfestation.

Key dates show the opportunity was posted on November 20, 2009, with a creation date of December 1, 2009. The original closing date was December 7, 2009, later extended to a current closing date of December 11, 2009, and the opportunity was archived on January 7, 2010.
