Pueblo Of Laguna

The Pueblo of Laguna, a federally recognized Indian tribe headquartered in Laguna, New Mexico, is a tribal government entity that acts as a direct recipient of federal grants across a broad portfolio of infrastructure, environmental, health, and social service programs, with no federal prime contracts. The Pueblo operates as the parent entity for one named subsidiary, Laguna Rainbow Corp, and competes across federal grant programs without set-aside designation constraints — tribal status itself structures its funding eligibility.

The Pueblo's grant portfolio spans environmental capacity-building, broadband infrastructure, water and waste treatment, transit operations, historic preservation, public health, and justice system programs. Representative recent work includes a $195 thousand EPA Region 6 Indian Environmental General Assistance Program (CFDA 66.926) award from October 2026 to build environmental capacity and administer solid waste and hazardous waste programs through September 2027; a $500 thousand National Telecommunications and Information Administration Tribal Broadband Connectivity Program (CFDA 11.029) award from August 2026 to construct a 1,091-square-foot Network Operations Center facility through August 2029; a $4.683 million Department of Agriculture Rural Utilities Service Water and Waste Facility Loans and Grants to Alleviate Health Risks program (CFDA 10.770) award from September 2025 for sewage treatment and waste disposal services through September 2027; and a $1.057 million Bureau of Reclamation Indian Tribal Water Resources Development, Management, and Protection program (CFDA 15.519) award from September 2023 for reconstruction of the New Laguna Ditch through December 2025. Additional work includes a $899,991 Department of Justice COPS Office Public Safety Partnership and Community Policing Grants award (CFDA 16.710) from October 2023 to strengthen community policing capacity through September 2026; a $400 thousand Department of Justice Bureau of Justice Assistance Treatment Court Discretionary Grant Program (CFDA 16.585) award from October 2023 to design and implement a Juvenile Tribal Healing to Wellness Court through September 2028; and ongoing environmental stewardship grants from EPA Region 6 for water quality monitoring, invasive species removal, and surface water assessment.

The Pueblo's customer concentration spans HHS agencies (Administration for Children and Families, Public Health Service, Indian Health Service), EPA Region 6, the Department of Agriculture Rural Utilities Service, and the Department of the Interior, with smaller awards from the Department of Justice, the Department of Transportation Federal Transit Administration, the Department of Commerce National Telecommunications and Information Administration, the National Park Service, FEMA, and the Department of the Treasury. Health and social service programs dominate by agency count — HHS Administration for Children and Families (27 awards), HHS Public Health Service (24 awards), and secondary HHS lines (19 awards) account for significant award volume — while a General Services Administration Public Buildings Service lease agreement vehicle carries 89 task orders valued at $6 million and anchors potential-value concentration. The top five customer agencies by award count cover 31% of recent awards, but the GSA lease vehicle alone represents 55% of combined potential value across all awards, reflecting a concentration in real property support rather than program delivery.

Recent activity has moderated from a peak of 15 awards in 2023; the past three years show six awards in 2024, four in 2025, and two in 2026, a declining trajectory consistent with multi-year grant award cycles reaching maturity. Seven awards have ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months and face recompete exposure. The Pueblo operates primarily as a direct grant recipient (99% of awards), with only three sub-awards in the source footprint. The combined obligated value across all awards ($92.6 million) substantially exceeds combined potential value ($9.4 million), reflecting that many grants have been substantially drawn down from obligated funds. Laguna Rainbow Corp, the named tribally owned subsidiary, does not appear in the source data as a distinct award vehicle; integration of subsidiary work into consolidated reporting is not visible in the current award set.
