Santa Fe Public Schools

Santa Fe Public Schools, doing business as Santa Fe Municipal Schools, District C, is a U.S. local government school district based in Santa Fe, New Mexico that operates as a prime recipient of federal education and health grants from the Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education and the Department of Interior Bureau of Indian Affairs. The district does not hold federal contracts and does not function as a contractor; it qualifies as a government entity eligible to receive federal grants directly.

The district's federal award footprint is dominated by Indian Education Formula Grants to LEAs from the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, with five consecutive annual formula grants awarded July 1 in each of 2022 through 2026, each running through June 30 of the following year. These grants fund support for Native American students and families, including a sub-award from the most recent 2024 grant that supported staffing for liaison services addressing academic achievement for pre-K through twelfth grade students and families experiencing housing instability. The district also holds a small number of awards from the Department of Interior Bureau of Indian Affairs Albuquerque Acquisition Office and the Department of Health and Human Services Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Award concentration sits primarily with the Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (23 awards), followed by the Department of Education broadly (9 awards), with the Bureau of Indian Affairs and CDC accounts representing smaller transaction volume. The combined potential value across all forty-six awards totals $184 thousand, though obligated dollars across the portfolio reach $10.6 million — a ratio that reflects the formula-grant structure, where annual allocations often exceed the declared potential-value ceiling in the source data. Award activity shows minimal year-over-year variance, with one award in 2022, one in 2023, two in 2024, and one each in 2025 and 2026, reflecting the predictable annual cycle of education formula grants rather than growth or decline. Only one award faces ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, positioning the district for straightforward annual grant renewal rather than material recompete risk. The district's capability footprint, as reflected in NAICS and PSC coding, centers on educational support services and program management within the K-12 environment rather than federal contracting or vendor services.
