Pueblo Of Pojoaque

Pueblo Of Pojoaque, operating as Tribal Administrative Services, is a federally recognized Indian tribe based in Santa Fe, New Mexico, that acts as a federal grant recipient across a diverse portfolio of social services, infrastructure, environmental management, and community development programs. The organization is tribally owned and operates exclusively as a prime recipient on federal grants (99% of recent awards); it does not hold federal contracts or contract vehicles.

The Pueblo's federal footprint spans 38 distinct customer agencies with concentrated activity among the Environmental Protection Agency (24 awards), the Department of Transportation Federal Transit Administration (11 awards), the Administration for Community Living (11 awards), the Administration for Children and Families (11 awards), and the Institute of Museum and Library Services (10 awards) — these five agencies account for 39% of all recent awards. The combined obligated dollars across all awards total $59.2 million, with activity distributed across grant types including project grants, formula grants, block grants, and cooperative agreements rather than federal contracts.

Recent representative work spans multiple program areas. The Pueblo received a $894,522 project grant from the Department of Justice's Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (CFDA 16.710) for community policing equipment and training, a $800,000 project grant from the Department of Justice's Office on Violence Against Women (CFDA 16.587) for domestic violence services and youth prevention, and $319,635 in Federal Highway Administration (CFDA 20.205) highway planning and construction funding for tribal transportation infrastructure. Environmental work includes an ongoing formula grant from EPA Region 6 (CFDA 66.926) for environmental capacity building, solid waste management, and water quality protection across the Middle Rio Grande and other surface waters on tribal lands. Health and aging programs include recurring formula grants from the Administration for Community Living under Older Americans Act Title VI and the Nutrition Services Incentive Program serving Native American elders. Library services and cultural preservation are supported by multiple project grants from the Institute of Museum and Library Services, including funding for extended library hours, staff training, Native American library services, and ethical return of Tewa cultural objects from museums.

Substance abuse treatment and prevention represents a significant program cluster, anchored by a five-year youth mental health and suicide prevention grant from SAMHSA's Center for Mental Health Services (awarded July 2022 through July 2027), ongoing medication-assisted treatment (MAT) and opioid recovery grants from SAMHSA's Center for Substance Abuse Treatment, and community harm reduction and prevention grants from the Bureau of Justice Assistance. The Pueblo also receives transit operating grants from the Federal Transit Administration to support micro-transit services for the Pojoaque and Nambe communities, broadband infrastructure funding under the Coronavirus Capital Projects Fund (CCPF) and the National Telecommunications and Information Administration for rural last-mile connectivity, and historic preservation funding through the National Park Service's Tribal Historic Preservation Office grant program.

Award activity has varied year to year, with 11 awards in 2022, peak activity of 17 awards in 2023, declining to 14 in 2024, 5 in 2025, and 6 awards to date in 2026. Fourteen awards (approximately 8% of the portfolio) face ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months and will cycle into recompete. The Pueblo holds two sub-award positions, receiving mentoring and opioid abuse prevention support as a sub-grantee under Boys & Girls Clubs of America and providing HIDTA task-force funding pass-through from the City of Albuquerque. The organization's grant portfolio is characteristic of tribal government recipients under Indian-specific funding streams and general assistance programs across HHS, DOJ, EPA, DOT, and cultural agencies rather than traditional federal contracting.
