Opportunity Information: Apply for L23AS00149
The FY23 IIJA Bureau of Land Management Nevada Recreation and Visitor Services opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L23AS00149) is a discretionary funding announcement from the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM), focused on supporting recreation and visitor service work on BLM-managed lands in Nevada. Funding is offered through a cooperative agreement, which generally means BLM expects to be actively involved in the project beyond simply providing funds, such as through coordination, technical input, or shared project oversight. The program sits within the natural resources funding category (CFDA 15.225) and is aimed at improving the public’s recreational experience, visitor access, and related services tied to BLM’s recreation mission in the state.
Eligibility is limited to public and mission-driven entities rather than private commercial applicants. Individuals and for-profit organizations are explicitly not eligible to apply under this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO). Eligible applicants include state, county, and city or township governments; special district governments; independent school districts; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; federally recognized tribal governments and other tribal organizations; public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities; and nonprofit organizations, including both 501(c)(3) nonprofits and nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (in both cases, other than institutions of higher education). In other words, the NOFO is designed for governments, tribes, schools, universities, and nonprofits that can carry out recreation and visitor services work in coordination with BLM Nevada.
A key restriction in the announcement is that it does not support projects that involve hiring interns or crews under the Public Lands Corps Act of 1993. The NOFO emphasizes that the Public Lands Corps Act (16 USC, Chapter 37, Subchapter II) is the specific legislative authority that allows BLM to "hire" interns under that framework, and this particular funding opportunity is not the vehicle for that. As a result, youth internship or youth crew-style proposals under the Public Lands Corps model are directed elsewhere: eligible Youth Conservation Corps organizations are told to apply under a different funding announcement, NOFO 15.243, titled BLM Youth Conservation Opportunities on Public Lands. Practically speaking, applicants to L23AS00149 should shape their projects around recreation and visitor services outcomes without relying on internship or youth crew hiring mechanisms tied to Public Lands Corps authorities.
The opportunity was created on February 7, 2023, and the original closing date was April 14, 2023. The stated award ceiling is $750,000, indicating that awards could be made up to that maximum amount per project, depending on scope and available funds. While the listing notes "Expected Awards:" without a number provided, applicants should interpret that as the total number of awards not being specified in the summary data and therefore potentially dependent on funding availability and the quality and mix of applications received.
In summary, this BLM Nevada IIJA-related recreation and visitor services NOFO is a cooperative agreement funding opportunity for qualified public, tribal, educational, and nonprofit partners to implement projects that support recreation and visitor services on BLM lands in Nevada, with clear exclusions for individuals and for-profit entities and a specific limitation that keeps Public Lands Corps internship/crew hiring activities out of this NOFO and instead steers those youth-focused project concepts to the separate BLM youth conservation funding opportunity.Apply for L23AS00149
