Native Village Of Tanacross

Native Village Of Tanacross, a federally recognized Alaska Native tribe based in Tok, Alaska, receives federal grant funding as a prime recipient across transportation infrastructure, environmental management, victim services, and defense cooperation programs, with no commercial contracting activity. The tribe operates exclusively under tribal set-asides and non-competitive tribal-designated funding streams; all 51 awards in the source represent grant receipts rather than contract wins.

The tribe's grant portfolio centers on three core capability areas. The Federal Highway Administration dominates by award count, with 15 recurring Tribal Transportation Program formula grants and one-off project grants for fiscal-year transportation funding under the FHWA Tribal Transportation Program and FHWA OTT Program agreements. Recent FHWA awards include recurring grants in FY 2024 and FY 2026 for village transportation programming. The Department of Housing and Urban Development Public and Indian Housing Office accounts for 8 awards, and the Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families for 6 awards. The tribe also holds active environmental and defense-coordination grants: an October 1, 2022 EPA Region 10 project grant (ultimate completion September 30, 2026) for environmental capacity-building, solid and hazardous waste management program development, and air and water quality planning in Tanacross; an October 1, 2025 Department of Justice Victims of Crime award of $256,619 (CFDA 16.841, VOCA Tribal Victim Services Set-Aside Program) for victim services delivery through September 30, 2026; and two Department of Defense cooperative agreements through the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Alaska (NALEMP — one signed August 26, 2022 for $1,090,484 completion by December 12, 2024, and a second dated September 23, 2024 running through September 22, 2026) to address environmental impacts and mitigation on Indian lands in the Tok area. A May 30, 2023 Treasury Departmental Offices formula grant under the Coronavirus Capital Projects Fund (eligible for broadband and critical capital infrastructure through December 31, 2026) rounds out the active set.

The tribe's combined potential value across all 51 awards reads $149,000 in the source, but obligated dollars total $13 million — a pattern indicating the source captures only partial award documentation or formula-grant awards with rolling year-by-year obligations. Activity runs at a low frequency (one to four awards annually over the past five years), with only one award scheduled for completion within the next twenty-four months, creating minimal recompete pressure in the near term. The tribe serves 14 federal agencies across grant programs; 69% of awards concentrate with the top five customers (DOT-FHWA, HUD, HHS, EPA, and the Army Corps of Engineers). The tribe does not subcontract and does not hold federal contracts or contract vehicles.
