The Bureau of Land Management (BLM-CO) is offering a grant for Bat and White Nose Syndrome surveys and monitoring activities within the Colorado River Valley Field Office. This grant is for the critical purpose of addressing wildlife health and management concerns, specifically related to bat populations and the prevalent White Nose Syndrome. The BLM-CO is awarding this grant without full and open competition to Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW). CPW is uniquely qualified to perform these activities, as Colorado state law (CRS Title 33) designates them as the sole agency with the authority to protect, preserve, manage, and monitor all wildlife within Colorado. This unique statutory mandate positions CPW as the only suitable entity to conduct these essential wildlife management functions on public lands administered by the BLM within the state.
