About the company
Fundacion Biblioteca Rafael Hernandez Colon, Inc. operates as a tax-exempt nonprofit foundation based in Ponce, Puerto Rico, and receives federal grant funding as a sub-recipient rather than as a prime contractor or prime grantee. The vendor's federal footprint consists entirely of grant sub-awards, with no federal contract prime work or contract vehicle participation.
The foundation's customer concentration reflects two distinct grantor agencies. The Federal Emergency Management Agency accounts for three of four total awards in the source data, while the National Endowment for the Humanities accounts for one award. All four awards are sub-grant arrangements channeled through a Governor's Authorized Representative as the prime grantee — a structure typical of state-administered federal grant pass-throughs for disaster relief, community development, or cultural programming.
Recent grant activity includes a sub-award dated July 15, 2025, from FEMA (reference PW-246(1), 69(2)), an October 31, 2022 multi-component FEMA sub-award spanning four distinct project numbers (PA-02-PR-4473-PW-00069(0), PA-02-PR-4473-PW-00246(0), PA-02-PR-4473-PW-00057(1), PA-02-PR-4473-PW-00069(1)), and a July 22, 2021 FEMA sub-award (PW-00057(0)). Combined dollars obligated across all awards total $727 thousand. Activity is sparse — one award in 2018, one in 2021, one in 2022, and one in 2025 — with no sustained contracting relationship or vehicle presence. The vendor does not appear on any GSA Schedule, IDIQ, BPA, or GWAC.
As a nonprofit grant sub-recipient rather than a federal contractor, Fundacion Biblioteca Rafael Hernandez Colon operates outside the traditional contract prime footprint and does not compete on federal contracting vehicles. The foundation's role is limited to administering sub-awarded federal grant funds, likely for library, cultural, disaster-recovery, or community-development programming within Puerto Rico.
