California Indian Manpower Consortium, Inc.

California Indian Manpower Consortium, Inc. (also known as California Indian Manpower Consortium Inc.) is an American Indian-owned, minority-owned nonprofit organization based in Sacramento, California, that operates as a federal grant recipient delivering employment and training services, elder nutrition and caregiver support, and child care assistance to Native American, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian populations across California and other western states.

The organization's federal footprint consists entirely of grant awards across three primary customer agencies. The Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Community Living (ACL, also known as the Administration on Aging) dominates the portfolio with 295 awards spanning nutrition services, caregiver support, and elder care programs under the Older Americans Act (OAA) Title VI parts A, C, and the Nutrition Services Incentive Program (CFDA 93.047). The Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families (ACF) holds 23 awards supporting child care and workforce development initiatives. The Department of Labor Employment and Training Administration accounts for 21 awards totaling $19 thousand in combined potential value, all under the Native American Employment and Training program (CFDA 17.265). These three agencies represent 90% of CIMC's award count across 12 customer agencies served. The source material documents combined dollars obligated at $156.4 million against a combined potential value of $19 thousand, reflecting the organization's long tenure as a grant recipient managing formula entitlements and project awards rather than discretionary contracts.

CIMC's work centers on direct service delivery with minimal subrecipient involvement. Representative grant work includes a $3.28 million three-year project grant from the Department of Labor (CFDA 17.265, awarded July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2028) supporting career services, occupational training, and follow-up employment counseling for unemployed and underemployed American Indian adults, with performance metrics tied to employment rates, median earnings, credential attainment, and skill gains under WIOA standards. The organization also holds a $1.99 million block grant from the Office of Child Care (CFDA 93.575, awarded October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2028) as a designated lead agency administering child care subsidies and services to low-income families in California. On the aging services side, CIMC received multiple formula grants from Administration on Aging totaling $109,120 to $122,960 per award (CFDA 93.047, awarded April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2029) for nutrition services, supportive services, and caregiver assistance to Native American elders aged 60 and older.

Activity has been volatile: 20 awards in 2022, 26 in 2023, declining to 13 in 2024, 5 in 2025, then rising to 24 in the first quarter of 2026. Four awards are scheduled for ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing recompete opportunity. CIMC operates exclusively as a prime recipient—the source shows no federal contract work, no subcontractor role on contracts, and no grant sub-awards. The organization's entire federal footprint rests on direct grant recipiency from three HHS offices and the Department of Labor, with no participation in federal contract vehicles, GWACs, IDIQs, or acquisition schedules. CIMC's capability portfolio is narrowly defined by the Older Americans Act Title VI programs, Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act employment services, and child care development block grants—all formula-driven, tribal set-aside grant programs that leverage CIMC's American Indian ownership and demonstrated capacity to serve Native American beneficiaries.
