Cochiti De Pueblo

Cochiti De Pueblo, doing business as Cochiti Pueblo, is a federally recognized Indian tribe headquartered in Cochiti Pueblo, New Mexico, that operates as a prime recipient of federal grants focused on community health, child care, environmental management, wildfire mitigation, and cultural services. The tribe operates exclusively as a grant recipient (100% of recent awards); it holds no federal contracts and does not subcontract. As a tribal government, Cochiti Pueblo qualifies for federal funding set-asides and programs reserved for Native American tribes and tribal entities.

Cochiti Pueblo's grant portfolio centers on social services and natural resource management for tribal communities. Recent flagship awards include a $3.27 million Community Wildfire Defense Grants award from the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service (CFDA 10.720) running through June 2030 for wildfire fuel reduction, protective system construction, and infrastructure designed to prevent wildfire spread within the Cochiti Pueblo community; a $151,661 cooperative agreement with the Bureau of Land Management under the Fuels Management and Community Fire Assistance Program (CFDA 15.228) through August 2028 for comprehensive fire risk assessment, vegetation management, fire breaks, and evacuation mapping adjacent to Kasha-Katuwe Tent Rocks National Monument; and a $325,516 Child Care and Development Block Grant Discretionary award (CFDA 93.575) from the Department of Health and Human Services Office of Child Care through September 2028 supporting child care subsidies and quality improvement for low-income families. The tribe also operates recurring formula grants from the Administration on Aging for nutrition services, older Americans programs, and caregiver support; formula grants from the Administration for Children and Families for child welfare and child care; and project grants from the Institute of Museum and Library Services for library services and collections. Environmental grants include an EPA Region 6 formula grant for water quality monitoring and tribal capacity building on water pollution control, and a Treasury Department Coronavirus Capital Projects Fund award for broadband infrastructure enabling remote work and education.

Customer concentration is heavily weighted toward Department of Health and Human Services programs. The Administration for Community Living and Administration for Children and Families together account for 56% of recent awards, with the Administration for Community Living holding 21 awards and the Administration for Children and Families holding between 14 and 18 awards across multiple grant categories. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service and Department of Health and Human Services Indian Health Service represent smaller but strategically important customers for wildfire mitigation and health programming. Recent activity levels have declined year over year from eight awards in 2022 to four in 2024, 2025, and 2026, with eight awards reaching ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months, signaling a recompete window for recurring tribal formula grants. The combined potential value across all 156 awards in the source is $903 thousand, though the tribe has obligated $42.8 million across its award footprint, reflecting substantial federal investment in tribal operations and community development over its full award history dating to 1988.
