About the company
Illinois State Museum Society (doing business as ISM), a tax-exempt nonprofit and child entity of the State of Illinois, serves as a prime recipient and contractor for archaeological curation, cultural resource management, and heritage preservation services to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the National Park Service. ISM competes exclusively in full-and-open (non-set-aside) federal procurements and does not pursue or hold positions on government-wide vehicles or multiple-award contracts; all 92 awards in the recent portfolio are prime work with zero subcontract volume.
ISM's customer concentration is extreme. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (and its regional engineering districts) account for 79% of recent awards by count and 100% of combined potential value at $3 million, with the Department of the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District St. Louis anchoring the footprint at 16 awards ($1.1 million combined potential value). ISM holds a single-award indefinite delivery contract with USACE St. Louis valued at $600,000 through July 2028, from which five delivery orders have been issued since 2023: a $463,233 curation management award (July 2023), an $85,744.59 FY24 Mark Twain Lake maintenance order (February 2024), a $47,135.95 FY23 curation and management order (August 2023), an $85,328.07 curation services order (February 2025), and an $89,349.45 annual curation maintenance order for fiscal years 2026–2027 (February 2026). The contract provides storage and maintenance services for approximately 4,600 cubic feet of archaeological collections housed in the Corps' central region and operates in compliance with 36 Code of Federal Regulations Part 79 standards for archaeological collections management.
Beyond USACE contracts, ISM holds three federal grant awards as prime recipient: a Route 66 Corridor Preservation Program cost-share grant from the National Park Service (August 2022–December 2025) for collection, archiving, and public accessibility of approximately 100 oral histories from Illinois Route 66 (1926–1985); a Project Grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (September 2021–August 2025) to develop high-caliber online curricula and professional development for pre-K through grade 12 educators; and a National Nagpra Consultation and Documentation Grant (September 2021–August 2024) for the Dickson Mounds archaeological site in Fulton County, Illinois. Activity has been sparse over the past five years—one award per year in 2025 and 2026—with only two awards (combined potential value $553 thousand) reaching completion within the next twenty-four months. The combined potential value across all 92 awards is $3.4 million, though obligated dollars total $8 million (234% of potential value), reflecting significant upward modification and invoice activity on completed contract work. ISM's capability footprint centers on specialized archaeological collections curation, cultural heritage preservation, regional research and development services, and museum-based educational programming.
