San Bernardino Community College

San Bernardino Community College, operating as San Bernardino Valley College, is a public educational institution and Hispanic Servicing Institution that receives federal funding as a prime grant recipient in workforce development, STEM education, and postsecondary instruction, with subordinate participation as a sub-recipient in child care and community service programs administered through California state agencies and federal AmeriCorps.

San Bernardino Community College is a U.S. local government entity and educational institution headquartered in San Bernardino, California. The vendor does not hold federal contracts or IDVs; all federal activity is grant-funded, with the institution acting as prime recipient on direct National Science Foundation, National Institute of Standards and Technology, and Department of Education awards, and as a sub-recipient on pass-through grants from California state agencies managing Child Care and Development Funds and AmeriCorps programming. The organization operates through a public community college district structure.

The institution's recent prime grant portfolio centers on STEM education and workforce development aligned with labor-market demand in the Inland Empire region. A one-million-dollar National Science Foundation Division of Undergraduate Education Project Grant awarded October 1, 2026, funds development of a geospatial artificial intelligence technician education pathway running through September 30, 2029, including two new GeoAI courses, stackable credentials, and dual-enrollment partnerships with the University of Redlands, regional K-12 districts, and industry partners to prepare technicians for urban planning, infrastructure, natural resource management, and emergency response applications. A three-hundred-thousand-dollar National Institute of Standards and Technology Cooperative Agreement under the Science, Technology, Business and/or Education Outreach program (CFDA 11.620), effective October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2027, funds a cybersecurity education initiative through Crafton Hills College targeting the anticipated 11% growth in cybersecurity occupations across San Bernardino County, with deliverables including seven new NICE Framework-aligned courses, NetLab+ virtual lab expansion, registered apprenticeships with regional employers, and placement of 15 students with at least three new employer partners. A one-million-dollar Department of Education Fund for the Improvement of Postsecondary Education project grant (October 1, 2022 through September 30, 2024) supported institutional reforms and innovative postsecondary instruction strategies.

The top four customer agencies, accounting for 76% of awards by count, are the Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families (9 awards), the Department of Education Office of Postsecondary Education (8 awards), the National Endowment for the Humanities (2 awards), and the Corporation for National and Community Service (2 awards). Sub-recipient activity routes through California state agencies — primarily the Department of Education and Department of Social Services — administering Child Care and Development Block Grant and Mandatory and Matching Funds pass-throughs, and through the Governor's Office of Service and Community Engagement for AmeriCorps subgrantee placements. Award volume has declined from six awards in 2023 to one in 2026; only one award faces ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months.
