Shiprock Associated School, Inc.

Shiprock Associated School, Inc., a federally recognized Indian tribe and non-profit organization located in Shiprock, New Mexico, operates as a recipient of federal education and safety grants from the Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, the Department of Justice Community Oriented Policing Program, and subordinate federal agencies serving Indian education and tribal health needs.

The vendor's award footprint centers on Indian Education Formula Grants to Local Educational Agencies (LEAs) administered through the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education. From 2022 through 2026, Shiprock Associated School received recurring annual awards under this program, with performance spanning two consecutive fiscal years per award cycle. A notable expansion in 2025 includes a $500,000 project grant from the Community Oriented Policing Program's School Violence Prevention Program (CFDA 16.071), awarded on October 1, 2025, for a three-year performance period ending September 30, 2028. Under this award, Shiprock Associated School will implement evidence-based school safety improvements including coordination with local law enforcement, violence-prevention officer training, installation of physical security measures such as metal detectors and lighting, deployment of emergency notification technology, and other security enhancements at Shiprock, New Mexico. The vendor's sub-award activity includes reimbursement-claim submissions routed through the State of New Mexico Public Education Department under national school lunch and school breakfast programs, with sub-awards recorded in October 2025 and July 2025.

Customer concentration is heavily concentrated in the Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, which accounts for 31 awards (82% of the portfolio by count) across the five distinct customer agencies named in the source. The Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service, the Department of the Interior Bureau of Indian Affairs and Indian Education, the Community Oriented Policing Program, and the Department of Health and Human Services Indian Health Service round out the agency set, though the Indian Education Formula Grants dominate both award frequency and the vendor's operational capacity. Award activity accelerated in 2025 with five grants recorded that year, compared to two awards annually in 2022–2024, though the most recent awards in 2026 (two formula grants with July 1 start dates) reflect the cyclical annual rhythm of formula grant cycles. Three awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, signaling recompete and renewal activity in the Indian Education grant program. The vendor operates as a direct recipient in 95% of its awards, with sub-award exposure limited to nutrition-program reimbursement claims channeled through the state educational agency.
