Miccosukee Corporation

Miccosukee Corporation, the administrative and operational arm of the Miccosukee Tribe of Indians of Florida, is a federally recognized tribal government entity headquartered in Miami, Florida that delivers federal grant funding and services as a prime recipient across early childhood education, workforce development, environmental management, transportation infrastructure, and tribal justice and public safety programs.

Miccosukee's federal footprint is overwhelmingly grant-based (179 of 181 awards as prime recipient, 99% of recent activity), with minimal contract exposure—a single $571,926 Marine Corps firm fixed-price purchase order for lodging services in Miami (July 2025) represents the organization's only recent federal prime contract. The vendor does not hold seats on GWACs, IDIQs, or other federal contract vehicles; it operates exclusively as a grant recipient and tribal government service provider to federal agencies that designate it as the implementing entity for programs serving the Miccosukee community and broader tribal populations.

Grant activity concentrates in child care, education, and workforce development. The Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families funds recurring block grants and project grants: a $2.12 million American Indian Head Start award (CFDA 93.600, ending February 2030) supporting preschool and Early Head Start services for tribal children; multiple Child Care and Development Fund and Discretionary block grants totaling several hundred thousand dollars annually (CFDA 93.575, 93.575) supporting child care subsidies and quality improvements; and Child Care and Development Block Grant Discretionary awards supporting facility construction and program expansion through 2029. The Department of Labor Employment and Training Administration has awarded Miccosukee at least four Native American Employment and Training Project Grants (CFDA 17.265) ranging from $123,715 to $258,426, funding career services, occupational training aligned with WIOA, and follow-up support for unemployed and underemployed tribal members.

Environmental and infrastructure recipients include the Environmental Protection Agency Region 4 (water quality, solid waste management, air quality, and forest health protection grants totaling $15.2 million across multiple cooperative agreements and project grants through 2030); the Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration (two grants totaling $1.6 million for transportation planning and safe streets initiatives under CFDA 20.940 and related programs); and the Department of Agriculture Forest Service (a $585,316 Forest Health Protection award for invasive species detection and eradication across Florida tribal and state forestry lands, through September 2030). The Department of Justice Bureau of Justice Assistance awarded a $1.11 million Tribal Justice Assistance Project Grant (CFDA 16.596) for police headquarters renovation and emergency operations infrastructure (through December 2029), and the COPS Office Tribal Resources Grant program provided $810,764 for law enforcement equipment and training (through September 2025).

The Department of the Interior Bureau of Indian Affairs and Indian Education accounts for 67 awards by count, concentrated in education formula grants and tribal governance support, though the actual dollar concentration is modest given the small per-award values. The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education funds Indian Education Formula Grants to LEAs (CFDA 84.060) on an annual basis. Transportation and resilience programs include a $784,668 Reconnecting Communities Pilot grant (CFDA 20.940, January 2025–September 2027) and a Department of Energy electric grid resilience formula grant (awarded July 2023, running through April 2032) supporting tribal infrastructure modernization.

The largest single award in the source is the Environmental Protection Agency's $14.9 million Climate Pollution Reduction Grants cooperative agreement (CFDA 66.046, January 2025–December 2029) supporting greenhouse gas reduction, vehicle electrification, and residential building emissions improvements on tribal lands. A Safe Drinking Water Act formula grant totaling $1.078 million (with an earlier $164,000 planning phase, through April 2027) funds water treatment infrastructure design and construction to serve 181 tribal homes.

Miccosukee operates as a direct-service provider with minimal subrecipient activity; two recent grant sub-awards appear in the source—participation in a Florida Department of Agriculture program (January 2026) and a Miccosukee Community Forest Project sub-award from the National Arbor Day Foundation (October 2024) addressing heat and food insecurity through native tree plantings. The organization's 181 recent awards span 28 federal agencies, reflecting broad tribal-focused grant program exposure rather than concentrated federal procurement relationships. Twenty-one awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, suggesting recurring annual or multi-year grant renewals typical of tribal government program funding cycles.
