Pueblo Of Acoma

Pueblo Of Acoma, doing business as Tribal Government, is a federally recognized Native American tribe based in Acoma Pueblo, New Mexico, that receives federal grants across social services, transportation, environmental management, and tribal justice administration. The tribe operates as a grant recipient (100% of recent awards are prime grants) and does not subcontract federal work or hold prime contracts. It serves approximately 5,000 economically disadvantaged residents and administers a diverse federal grant portfolio spanning fifty-five customer agencies, with combined potential value across 260 recent awards of $758 thousand, though the tribe has obligated $303.4 million in actual federal funding across its award history.

The Federal Highway Administration dominates the tribe's award volume and traffic — 23 transportation infrastructure grants support the Tribal Transportation Program under CFDA 20.205, providing funding for highway planning, construction, and maintenance on Acoma lands. The Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families awards the largest dollar concentration, with 17 child care and family services grants including a $2.349 million Head Start program grant (CFDA 93.600) through December 2030 delivering early childhood education and family services, a $4.493 million Child Care and Development Block Grant (CFDA 93.575) through September 2028, and related child welfare and family support formula grants. The Department of Labor Employment and Training Administration funds 14 Native American Employment and Training Program grants (CFDA 17.265) supporting employment and occupational training for tribal members; a representative example is a $154 thousand project grant running through June 2028 for career services, occupational training, and follow-up support aligned with WIOA.

The tribe manages substantial infrastructure, justice, and health capacity through additional federal grant streams. The Department of the Interior Bureau of Reclamation awarded a $350 thousand WaterSMART project grant (CFDA 15.507) through December 2027 to design water supply infrastructure improvements, including a new well, treatment facility, and storage systems. The Department of Justice Bureau of Justice Assistance funds tribal justice system strengthening through a $900 thousand Tribal Justice System Infrastructure grant (CFDA 16.596) through September 2029 and a $900 thousand grant (FY 2024) supporting the Acoma Tribal Court's operations and reentry programs. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission awards annual Tribal Employment Rights Office (TERO) definitive contracts of $32 thousand to $35 thousand (CFDA not specified) — eight awards noted in the source with the most recent $33 thousand contract running through September 2026. The tribe also manages federal grants in law enforcement capacity-building through the Department of Justice COPS Office ($698 thousand, CFDA 16.710), victim services through the Office for Victims of Crime Tribal Victim Services Set-Aside ($254 thousand, CFDA 16.841), and environmental programs through the Army Corps of Engineers NALEMP ($352 thousand through August 2028, CFDA 12.116).

Nineteen awards face ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, representing near-term recompete exposure. The tribe's grant portfolio emphasizes direct service delivery with little to no subrecipient involvement; most awards flow directly to tribal departments for employment and training, child care, transportation, health and wellness, tribal court operations, environmental protection, and cultural preservation. The tribe's federal posture is characterized by formula grants and project grants that reflect tribal self-determination and direct federal-tribal relationships rather than competitive bidding; the single parent vehicle identified in the source is a Blanket Purchase Agreement (HHSI242200910001B) with twelve task orders valued at $71 thousand combined.
