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 across multiple domestic social-service, environmental-management, and infrastructure programs with no prime federal contract activity and no subcontracting footprint. The tribe's federal portfolio consists entirely of grant awards administered through tribal government channels across 27 distinct customer agencies, with performance focused on tribal community benefit in New Mexico.

The tribe's recent grant activity centers on child care and development, elder services, environmental stewardship, and wildfire mitigation. Representative awards include a $3.265 million grant from the Department of Agriculture Forest Service Region 3-Southwestern Region under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act Community Wildfire Defense Grants program (CFDA 10.720) awarded April 1, 2026, for performance through June 30, 2030, to reduce wildfire fuel and build protective systems for the tribal community; a $151,661 cooperative agreement from the Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management under the Fuels Management and Community Fire Assistance Program (CFDA 15.228) awarded September 1, 2025, for completion August 30, 2028, to implement fire risk assessment, vegetation management, and evacuation planning in the Middle Rio Grande Valley Watershed; a formula grant from the Department of Health and Human Services Administration on Aging under the Older Americans Act Title VI Part A program (CFDA 93.045), awarded April 1, 2026, for performance through March 31, 2029, to support nutrition services and elder care for native americans; and a block grant of $827,149 from the Department of Health and Human Services Office of Child Care under the Child Care and Development Block Grant Discretionary program (CFDA 93.575), awarded October 1, 2025, for performance through September 30, 2028, to provide child care subsidies and quality improvement services for low-income families within the Cochiti Pueblo community.

The tribe also received a federal grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services for a Native American Library Services Basics grant awarded August 1, 2026, through July 31, 2027, to sustain and improve library services, archival access, and staff training; formula grants from the Administration on Aging for nutrition services incentive and caregiver support programs; child welfare social services grants from the Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families; a cooperative agreement from the Department of Health and Human Services Office of the Director for the Special Diabetes Program, awarded January 1, 2023, through December 31, 2027, addressing diabetes management, prevention, and community education; and environmental-capacity grants from the Environmental Protection Agency Region 6 for water quality monitoring and solid waste management on tribal lands.

The tribe holds two basic ordering agreements and indefinite delivery contracts with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers under which it has issued task orders for land and facility use. Combined potential value across the tribe's entire recent grant and contract portfolio stands at $903 thousand; combined dollars obligated total $44 million, reflecting a substantial gap between potential value ceiling and actual invoiced performance across long-standing grant programs with recurring annual funding cycles. The tribe faces ten awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months, representing recompete and re-obligation activity in federal grant programs. Activity volume has declined from a peak of eleven awards in 2023 to four awards in 2026, a profile consistent with the rhythm of annual federal grant allocations to tribal governments under formula and block-grant programs rather than competitive procurements.
