Pueblo De San Felipe

Pueblo De San Felipe Tribal Administration Division, a federally recognized Indian tribe based in San Felipe Pueblo, New Mexico, acts as a prime recipient of federal grants supporting health, nutrition, infrastructure, environmental, and youth services for tribal members. The tribe competes exclusively under formula and project grant programs reserved for tribal governments and Native American organizations, with no federal contract prime awardees and no involvement in the commercial contracting market.

Pueblo De San Felipe's federal footprint spans 454 total awards across 46 distinct customer agencies, predominantly concentrated in health and human services. The Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service leads by award count, with 87 awards supporting WIC (Women, Infants, and Children) supplemental nutrition programs, food assistance, and senior nutrition initiatives. The Department of Health and Human Services Public Health Service follows with 37 awards, and HHS Administration for Children and Families accounts for 35 awards covering child care development, family services, and early childhood education. Combined potential value across all awards totals $717 thousand, though obligated dollars have reached $282.3 million, reflecting the formula-grant character of the portfolio — annual or multi-year awards that renew and accumulate significant total dollars over time.

Representative grant work includes a $2.643 million Child Care and Development Block Grant (CFDA 93.575) from HHS Administration for Children and Families (2025–2028) supporting child care subsidies and quality improvement for low-income families; a $1.5 million Community Facilities Loans and Grants award from USDA Rural Utilities Service (2023–2025) for essential community facility construction; multiple WIC formula grants from USDA Food and Nutrition Service totaling $658 thousand for food expenses and $545 thousand for administrative costs (fiscal year 2025–2026); and a $2.76 million Tribal Transportation Program grant from the Federal Highway Administration (November 2025) for road construction, bridge improvements, and highway maintenance on tribal lands in New Mexico. Environmental and restoration work includes a $350 thousand EPA Region 6 Performance Partnership Grant for water quality monitoring and solid waste management (2025–2027), a $411 thousand Bureau of Reclamation Aquatic Ecosystem Restoration award (2025–2028) for bosque and riverine restoration planning, and a $162 thousand EPA water quality grant (2025–2027) with sub-awards to the Pueblo of Santo Domingo and Pueblo of Cochiti.

The tribe's capability portfolio centers on direct service delivery to tribal members: WIC nutrition assistance and education, child care subsidies and quality improvement, senior nutrition and caregiver support under the Older Americans Act, behavioral health and suicide prevention services (particularly for youth), family violence prevention and response, transportation infrastructure, water quality monitoring and environmental capacity building, library and cultural services, and broadband infrastructure development. Recent awards include a $229 thousand Tribal Victim Services Set-Aside grant from the Department of Justice (2025–2027) for crime victim services, a five-year Head Start grant from HHS for early childhood education, a $750 thousand WIC Modernization grant (2023–2027) for program systems upgrades, and multiple mental health and substance use prevention grants from SAMHSA including a five-year Garrett Lee Smith suicide prevention award and a five-year NATIVE AWARE II school-based mental health program.

Activity has remained relatively steady over the past five years, with 21 awards in 2022, 26 in 2023, 24 in 2024, 27 in 2025, and 3 recorded in the first quarter of 2026. Thirty-three awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing recompete and renewal opportunities across WIC, child care development, transportation, and family services programs. The tribe serves as a prime recipient on 453 awards (100% of active awards) and appears as a sub-recipient on one grant — a Cougar Road Flood Mitigation Project sub-award from the New Mexico Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Management (February 2025). Top service areas by PSC category include social services (17 awards), social rehabilitation (9 awards), and managed healthcare (6 awards), reflecting the tribe's focus on community health, family, and youth support infrastructure.
