Opportunity Information: Apply for L24AS00092
FY24 IIJA/IRA Bureau of Land Management Nevada (NV) Rangeland Resource Management (Funding Opportunity Number L24AS00092) is a discretionary Department of the Interior program administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) that will fund rangeland resource management work in Nevada through cooperative agreements. The opportunity sits in the Natural Resources funding activity category (CFDA 15.237) and is intended to support on-the-ground and related technical efforts such as research, monitoring, assessments, and other services that align with BLM rangeland management needs. The program is structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically means BLM expects to have substantial involvement during the project (for example, coordination on work planning, methods, deliverables, and field implementation).
Eligibility is limited to a defined set of public and nonprofit entities and education institutions. Eligible applicants include state, county, city/township, and special district governments; independent school districts; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; federally recognized Tribal governments; other Tribal organizations; public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities; and nonprofits both with and without 501(c)(3) status. Individuals and for-profit organizations are explicitly ineligible. This restriction is important for applicants who might otherwise plan to partner with private companies as prime applicants; those relationships would need to be structured differently (for example, a qualified nonprofit or government entity serving as the applicant, with private firms potentially participating in a subcontractor role if allowed by the award terms).
The notice also makes a clear programmatic boundary around youth hiring and internship-style arrangements. This NOFO does not support entities hiring interns or crews under the Public Lands Corps Act of 1993. BLM points out that the Public Lands Corps Act (16 USC, Chapter 37, Subchapter II) is the only legislative authority that allows BLM to "hire" interns under that framework, and as a result, youth conservation corps applicants looking to do that kind of work must use a different funding opportunity: NOFO 15.243, BLM Youth Conservation Opportunities on Public Lands. In practical terms, applicants should avoid proposing project designs that depend on Public Lands Corps internships or corps crews under this particular announcement and instead align staffing plans with what this NOFO allows.
A significant administrative point is included for applicants that are part of the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Units (CESU) network. CESUs are partnerships designed to promote and provide research, studies, assessments, monitoring, technical assistance, and educational services, which often overlaps with the kinds of deliverables BLM seeks for rangeland management. If a cooperative agreement is awarded to a CESU partner under a formally negotiated Master CESU agreement and the project is consistent with the CESU purpose, indirect costs are capped at no more than 17.5 percent of the indirect cost base recognized in the partner's federally negotiated indirect cost rate agreement (NICRA). Applicants are instructed to state whether their proposal furthers the CESU purpose and, if so, identify which CESU Network should be considered as the host. This matters for budgeting and compliance, since the CESU indirect cost limitation can differ from an organization’s standard negotiated rate.
In terms of funding scale and timing, the opportunity lists an award ceiling of $1,200,000, with an original application closing date of March 19, 2024, and a posting/creation date of January 19, 2024. While the number of expected awards is not specified in the provided data, the ceiling indicates BLM is willing to consider relatively substantial projects, depending on scope and available funds. Overall, the opportunity is best understood as a Nevada-focused BLM rangeland management funding vehicle under IIJA/IRA-related implementation, targeted at governmental, Tribal, nonprofit, and academic partners who can deliver rangeland science, monitoring, assessment, technical assistance, and related management outcomes through a cooperative agreement framework, while avoiding proposals centered on Public Lands Corps internship/crew hiring under this specific NOFO.Apply for L24AS00092

No. For-profit organizations are explicitly ineligible to apply as the prime applicant under this funding opportunity.
Can a private company participate in a project at all?
The notice highlights that for-profit entities cannot be the prime applicant. If a project involves private companies, the application would need to be structured so an eligible entity (such as a nonprofit, government, Tribal entity, or academic institution) serves as the applicant, with private firms potentially participating in another role (for example, as a subcontractor) if allowed by the award terms.
Does this NOFO support hiring interns or youth crews under the Public Lands Corps Act?
No. This NOFO does not support entities hiring interns or crews under the Public Lands Corps Act of 1993. The notice states that the Public Lands Corps Act is the only legislative authority that allows BLM to "hire" interns under that framework, and this opportunity is not the vehicle for those arrangements.
If our project depends on youth conservation corps crews or Public Lands Corps internships, what should we do?
The notice directs youth conservation corps applicants seeking to do that kind of work to a different funding opportunity: NOFO 15.243, BLM Youth Conservation Opportunities on Public Lands. Under this NOFO (L24AS00092), applicants should avoid proposing project designs that depend on Public Lands Corps internships or corps crews.
What staffing approach should applicants take given the Public Lands Corps restriction?

The key point is to ensure the proposed approach fits within the authorities and boundaries described for this announcement.
What is a CESU, and why does it matter for this opportunity?
CESU stands for Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Units. CESUs are partnerships designed to promote and provide research, studies, assessments, monitoring, technical assistance, and educational services. This can overlap with the kinds of deliverables BLM seeks for rangeland management work.
Is there a special indirect cost rule for CESU partners?
Yes. If a cooperative agreement is awarded to a CESU partner under a formally negotiated Master CESU agreement and the project is consistent with the CESU purpose, indirect costs are capped at no more than 17.5 percent of the indirect cost base recognized in the partner's federally negotiated indirect cost rate agreement (NICRA).
What should a CESU-affiliated applicant include in the proposal?
Applicants are instructed to state whether their proposal furthers the CESU purpose and, if so, identify which CESU Network should be considered as the host.
How does the CESU indirect cost cap relate to an organization’s NICRA?
The notice indicates the CESU limitation can differ from an organization’s standard negotiated rate. For CESU awards fitting the criteria described, indirect costs are capped at 17.5 percent of the indirect cost base recognized in the NICRA.
What is the maximum award amount?
The opportunity lists an award ceiling of $1,200,000.

Because this is a cooperative agreement, BLM expects substantial involvement during the project. The notice provides examples such as coordination on work planning, methods, deliverables, and field implementation.
What is the best overall fit for this NOFO?
Based on the description provided, this opportunity is best understood as a Nevada-focused BLM rangeland management funding vehicle supporting governmental, Tribal, nonprofit, and academic partners that can deliver rangeland science and implementation work (including monitoring, assessment, research, and technical assistance) through a cooperative agreement structure, while avoiding proposals centered on Public Lands Corps internship or crew hiring under this specific NOFO.
