Jamul Indian Village Of California

Jamul Indian Village Of California, a federally recognized tribal government headquartered in Jamul, California, receives federal funding as a grant recipient and a limited contract prime to support tribal government operations, environmental and water resource management, historic preservation, community policing, and archaeological collection stewardship. The tribe operates 97% of recent awards as a prime recipient (31 of 32 awards), with a single sub-award, and does not hold seats on government-wide contract vehicles.

The tribe's contract work centers on specialized archaeological and cultural resource management. Jamul Indian Village holds a $320,000 firm fixed-price contract from the U.S. Customs and Border Protection to manage and preserve the Monument Mesa and Lichty Mesa archaeological collection, and a $174,320 firm fixed-price renewable contract from the U.S. International Boundary and Water Commission to provide tribal monitoring services for the expansion of the South Bay International Wastewater Treatment Plant, with annual renewal potential running through September 2029. A smaller $27,600 purchase order from the Assistant Secretary for Financial Resources funded the tribe's participation in the Secretary's Tribal Advisory Committee meeting in September 2026.

The bulk of Jamul Indian Village's federal footprint derives from grants rather than contracts. The tribe receives environmental and water-resource management grants from the Department of the Interior Bureau of Reclamation ($284,850 under CFDA 15.519 for a watershed assessment and erosion control project running through July 2027) and the Environmental Protection Agency Region 9 (two awards totaling $110,000 and $170,431 for nonpoint source water quality management and environmental program capacity-building, respectively). Community safety funding includes a $583,280 three-year grant from the Department of Justice Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (CFDA 16.710) awarded October 2024 for tribal law enforcement equipment, technology, and training. Historic preservation work flows through the National Park Service Historic Preservation Fund (CFDA 15.904) in multiple annual formula grants spanning the past several years. The tribe also received a $122,680 Federal Emergency Management Agency grant under the Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities program (February 2024 through February 2027) and pandemic-response broadband infrastructure funding under the Coronavirus Capital Projects Fund from the Department of the Treasury (May 2023 through December 2026). The tribe's grant portfolio demonstrates concentrated engagement with the Department of the Interior National Park Service (6 awards) and the Environmental Protection Agency (10 awards combined across national and regional offices), representing 66% of recent awards by count.

Recent annual activity has fluctuated, ranging from two awards per year in 2022 and 2025–2026 to five in 2024. Two awards carry completion dates within the next twenty-four months. Across its contract and grant portfolio, Jamul Indian Village demonstrates specialized capability in environmental stewardship, water resource management, archaeological and cultural resource preservation, and tribal governance support.
