Pueblo Of ZIA

Pueblo Of Zia, a federally recognized Native American tribe headquartered in San Ysidro, New Mexico, operates as a grant recipient across a broad portfolio of federal funding for tribal government services, infrastructure, child care, public health, environmental stewardship, and justice systems. The tribe does not compete for federal contracts; all 133 awards in the source are federal grants administered directly by Pueblo Of Zia as prime recipient, with no subaward activity.

Pueblo Of Zia's grant portfolio spans thirty-two federal customer agencies, with concentration across child care, transportation infrastructure, aging services, housing, and environmental programs. The top five funding agencies by award count account for 48% of recent grants: Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families (15 awards), Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration (14 awards), Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Community Living (13 awards), Department of Housing and Urban Development Public and Indian Housing Office (13 awards), and Environmental Protection Agency Region 6 (9 awards). Notable recent awards include two formula grants from the Administration on Aging under the Older Americans Act Title VI program (April 2026, running through March 2029) for Native American caregiver support and Native American services; two FHWA Tribal Transportation Program grants (November 2025, completion September 2026) totaling approximately $2.26 million for transportation infrastructure across the tribe's 121,080-acre service area in Sandoval County; an EPA Region 6 water quality monitoring grant (November 2025, completion September 2026) for surface water quality assessment on the Rio Salado and Jemez River; a Bureau of Justice Assistance grant for tribal justice system development (October 2025, running through September 2030); and three Office of Child Care awards (October 2025 onwards, running through September 2028) for child care subsidies and workforce development under the Child Care and Development Block Grant and Child Care and Development Fund programs.

Activity has declined over the past five years — from sixteen awards in 2022 to two awards through April 2026 — though this reflects a shift toward multi-year grant agreements with longer performance periods rather than annual or short-term awards. Eleven grants with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months face recompete, including awards in transportation infrastructure, water quality, historic preservation, and child care services. Pueblo Of Zia's grant work centers on direct service delivery and infrastructure investment for tribal members and tribal governance: water quality monitoring and environmental capacity-building through EPA; transportation infrastructure planning and road maintenance through FHWA; child care subsidies and early childhood education through HHS; victim services and justice system strengthening through the Bureau of Justice Assistance; broadband infrastructure deployment through the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (228 households connected under a 2022 award); and elder services, nutrition programs, and language revitalization through the Administration on Aging and Administration for Native Americans. The tribe does not employ subcontractors on its federal awards and operates all programs directly through tribal departments and staff.
