Opportunity Summary:
The Cataloging Archeological Collections opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOI J8158100901) was a discretionary National Park Service cooperative agreement focused on strengthening the research, interpretation, and long-term care of National Park Service museum and archaeological collections. The central purpose of the task agreement was to support hands-on collections work, especially cataloging and related curatorial activities, while also connecting that work to public-facing interpretation and educational efforts. A major emphasis was collaboration between the National Park Service and a partner organization to ensure that archaeological and museum holdings are properly documented, cared for, and made more meaningful and accessible through improved interpretation.
A defining feature of the project was its stewardship and engagement angle. The agreement was designed not only to advance technical collections management, but also to build joint programs that involve youth and members of the public in ongoing cultural resource stewardship. In practice, this kind of scope typically includes organizing and documenting artifacts and associated records, improving collection databases and inventories, supporting research that provides context for the materials, and translating those improvements into interpretive products or activities that help visitors understand the cultural significance of the collections. The overall theme is that better cataloging and collections care directly supports education and public benefit, while youth participation helps build the next generation of cultural resource stewards.
Funding for the award was relatively small and targeted, with an estimated total funding amount of $39,000 and an award ceiling of $39,000 (no stated award floor). Only one award was expected. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement listed, meaning the recipient was not required to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of the award. The opportunity fell under an arts/cultural affairs activity category (noted as Arts, with reference to Cultural Affairs), reflecting the museum and cultural resources focus rather than construction or natural resource management.
Eligibility was not open competition. Although the listing includes an eligible applicant type of certain nonprofits that do not have 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), the eligibility information makes clear that this was a single-source award specifically to the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy. In other words, the notice functioned as a formal announcement of an intended cooperative agreement partnership rather than an open call for proposals from multiple applicants. The agency administering the opportunity was the National Park Service.
The timeline was short and dated. The opportunity was posted and created on June 17, 2010, with an original and current closing date of June 21, 2010, and an archive date of July 21, 2010. For questions or issues accessing the announcement electronically, the contact listed was Carol Axley, Contracting Officer, reachable by phone at 415-561-4754 or by email at carolaxley@nps.gov.
