Pueblo Of Laguna

Pueblo Of Laguna, a federally recognized Indian tribe headquartered in Laguna, New Mexico, is a tribal government entity that acts as a prime recipient of federal grants across health, environmental, transit, and community development programs. The Pueblo does not hold federal contracts; its federal footprint is exclusively grant-funded work serving its tribal membership and surrounding communities.

The Pueblo's grant portfolio spans forty-four distinct federal agencies, with concentrated activity in health and human services. The top five funding agencies by award count—the Department of Health and Human Services' Administration for Children and Families (27 awards), HHS Public Health Service (24 awards), a second HHS ACF line (19 awards), the Department of Agriculture Rural Utilities Service (17 awards), and the Environmental Protection Agency (17 awards)—represent 31% of all awards. By potential value, the General Services Administration's Public Buildings Service Central Office leads with sixteen awards worth $5.2 million combined, though total combined potential value across all 339 awards stands at $9.4 million against $88.1 million in obligations, indicating mature, heavily obligated awards. The Pueblo has received 339 prime federal grants since 1991, with recent activity declining (nine awards in 2022, fifteen in 2023, six in 2024, three in 2025, and one in 2026).

Representative grant work spans environmental capacity-building, public health and wellness, justice system programs, and tribal infrastructure. The EPA Region 6 awarded the Pueblo $195 thousand under the Indian Environmental General Assistance Program (CFDA 66.926) effective October 2026 through September 2027 to build environmental and solid waste management capacity, with deliverables including annual progress reports and a Geographic Information System quality assurance plan. The Department of Justice's Office of Community Oriented Policing Services awarded $899,991 under the Public Safety Partnership and Community Policing Grants program (CFDA 16.710) for community policing equipment, technology, and training over three years. The Bureau of Justice Assistance funded a Juvenile Tribal Healing to Wellness Court at $400 thousand (CFDA 16.585) to address youth substance abuse and delinquency, and a separate Tribal Healing to Wellness Court at $891,771 (CFDA 16.596) for judicial staffing, training, and monitoring equipment. The Federal Transit Administration has funded ongoing operations and capital replacement for Laguna Transit, including a $104,611 formula grant for operating expenses and a vehicle replacement award. The National Park Service awards annual Historic Preservation Fund grants (CFDA 15.904) for tribal historic preservation office activities under the National Historic Preservation Act. The Bureau of Reclamation awarded $1,057,572 for the Reconstruct New Laguna Ditch water infrastructure project (CFDA 15.519). Environmental work with EPA Region 6 also includes surface water quality monitoring and nonpoint source implementation, with cooperative agreements funding invasive species removal, native vegetation restoration, and water quality sampling with data submission via the Water Quality Exchange database.

Awards reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months total ten grants, representing potential recompete exposure. The Pueblo's only named subsidiary is Laguna Rainbow Corp, a tribally owned firm and federally recognized Indian tribe entity. The Pueblo does not sit on federal contract vehicles; its portfolio is pure grant activity rooted in tribal capacity-building, self-governance, and community service delivery across health, environmental management, criminal justice, transit, and infrastructure sectors.
