Opportunity Summary:

The Wyoming Archaeological Society (WAS) and BLM Joint Site Recordation, Evaluation and Stabilization Project is a discretionary federal grant opportunity offered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Wyoming State Office, through a cooperative agreement. The purpose is to formalize and expand collaboration so that WAS members can directly assist the BLM with hands-on cultural resource work, specifically the recordation, evaluation, and stabilization of archaeological and other cultural sites on public lands. The project builds on a long-standing working relationship between WAS and the Office of the Wyoming State Archaeologist (OWSA), with the key change being that BLM cultural resource needs are explicitly included alongside the kinds of projects OWSA has traditionally led.

Under the arrangement described, WAS is expected to contribute logistical support and labor, while the OWSA is anticipated to provide the professional archaeological supervision. OWSA staff would direct field and laboratory activities and handle report preparation, which is important because it ties volunteer and society-supported work to professional standards and formal documentation. In practice, this means WAS participants would help collect site information, document site conditions, assist in evaluating significance and management needs, and support stabilization efforts intended to protect resources from ongoing deterioration or damage.

The anticipated performance period is five years, with the overall project period capped at 60 months. While it is framed as a multi-year effort, continued funding is conditional. The BLM indicates it will consider ongoing support if the recipient demonstrates progress that meets BLM expectations and if BLM determines continuation serves the government interest, with the additional practical limitation that funds must be available. This makes the award function like a long-term partnership that is reviewed over time rather than a one-time short project.

Financially, the opportunity lists an estimated total funding amount of $50,000, with an award ceiling of $8,500 and an award floor of $0, and it anticipates making a single award. The listing also states that cost sharing or matching is required, meaning the recipient would need to contribute non-federal resources in some form (such as cash, in-kind services, volunteer time, or other eligible match), consistent with the terms set in the cooperative agreement. The funding is associated with CFDA 15.224, Cultural Resource Management, and the activity category is identified as Cultural Resources.

The opportunity was posted on May 23, 2008, created on June 18, 2008, and ultimately closed on June 25, 2008 (with an original closing date of June 4, 2008). Although the eligibility field is marked as unrestricted in the listing, the narrative makes clear that the BLM intends to award the cooperative agreement with the Wyoming Archaeological Society for this particular effort, signaling that the partnership is purpose-built around WAS participation and OWSA professional oversight. For access issues or administrative questions, the notice provides a BLM grants and agreements contact: Ilze Karklins Powers, Grants Management Officer, at 307-775-6293.
