21 Archaeological Condition Assessments with ASMIS, TARL, and TexSite Data Entry | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

This grant opportunity, titled "21 Archaeological Condition Assessments with ASMIS, TARL, and TexSite Data Entry" (Funding Opportunity Number AJ7180090393), was issued by the National Park Service as a discretionary funding opportunity using a Cooperative Agreement. The basic purpose is to secure professional archaeological expertise to carry out field-based studies focused on completing 21 archaeological condition assessments and then ensuring the resulting information is properly entered and updated in key archaeological data systems, specifically ASMIS, TARL, and TexSite. In practice, this implies work that combines on-the-ground site evaluation with the structured documentation and database entry needed to maintain accurate cultural resource records for management and compliance purposes.

The funded effort is categorized under Science and Technology and other Research and Development, reflecting that it is not simply administrative data entry but a technical cultural resources project involving field assessment methods, professional judgment, and standardized recording. The scope centers on assessing the condition of archaeological resources, which typically includes evaluating site integrity, identifying threats or disturbances (such as erosion, vandalism, development impacts, or natural processes), noting visible features and artifacts, and documenting current preservation needs. The deliverables would reasonably include field documentation products (for example, assessment forms, notes, photographs, location information, and condition ratings) along with complete and accurate entry of that information into the specified systems so the National Park Service and partners can use it for planning, protection, and long-term stewardship.

This opportunity anticipated a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with a total estimated funding amount of $1,988,185. The award ceiling and floor were both listed as $1,988,185, indicating the National Park Service expected to make one award at that exact amount rather than a range of potential award sizes. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient would not be required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of the award.

Eligibility was limited to private institutions of higher education, which points toward universities or similar academic organizations positioned to provide qualified archaeological staff, potentially including faculty-led teams, professional archaeologists, and trained field crews, and also capable of managing the reporting and data management components. Because the instrument is a Cooperative Agreement, the project would typically involve substantial involvement by the National Park Service during performance, such as coordination on methodologies, priorities, review of deliverables, data standards, and integration of results into agency systems and management decisions.

The opportunity was posted on October 23, 2009, created on October 20, 2009, and had an original and current closing date of October 28, 2009, with an archive date of November 27, 2009. For applicants needing assistance accessing the full announcement, the listed contact was Cheryl Richardson, Contract Specialist, reachable by phone at 404-507-5747 or by email at cherylrichardson@nps.gov.
