Stockbridge-Munsee Community

Stockbridge-Munsee Community, doing business as Stockbridge-Munsee Band Of Mohicans, is a federally recognized Indian tribe headquartered in Bowler, Wisconsin that operates as a federal grant recipient across a diversified portfolio of tribal governance, health, education, and environmental programs. The tribe competes exclusively under tribal set-asides and direct tribal grant allocations, with no federal contracting prime awards and minimal subcontracting; 84 percent of recent awards are prime grants and agreements, and the remaining 16 percent are sub-recipient roles under state and federal grantees.

The tribe's capability footprint spans social services, health and wellness, child care and education, cultural preservation, environmental protection, and elder services, delivered directly to tribal members and surrounding communities in Wisconsin. Representative prime grants include a $150 thousand Native American and Native Hawaiian Library Services award from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (CFDA 45.311) for the Arvid E. Miller Memorial Library & Museum to improve collections care, exhibit infrastructure, and establish an elder-led oral history initiative (October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2028); a $1.067 million Child Support Services block grant from the Office of Child Support Enforcement (CFDA 93.563) for enforcement activities including locating absent parents and establishing paternity (October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026); a $357.8 thousand Temporary Assistance for Needy Families block grant from the Office of Family Assistance (CFDA 93.558) for assistance to needy families with children and job preparation services (October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026); and a $899.9 thousand five-year Healing to Wellness Court Project Grant from the Bureau of Justice Assistance (CFDA 16.596) to operate a substance use disorder prevention and treatment program within the tribal justice system (October 1, 2024 through September 30, 2029). The tribe also operates programs in fall prevention and diabetes prevention for tribal elders, environmental water quality monitoring, NAGPRA consultation and repatriation, historic preservation, and broadband connectivity.

Customer concentration is distributed across federal agencies and Wisconsin state agencies acting as pass-through grantees. The top five federal award sources by count—the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service (32 awards), the Department of the Interior Bureau of Indian Affairs and Indian Education (32 awards), the General Services Administration Public Buildings Service (23 awards), the Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families (22 awards), and the Administration on Aging (multiple awards for Older Americans Act programs)—together account for approximately 24 percent of all awards by count. A significant portion of the tribe's sub-award activity flows through the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction (National School Lunch Program and Child and Adult Care Food Program sub-awards) and the Wisconsin Department of Health Services (multiple health, family services, and Medicaid-related sub-awards). The tribe also receives pass-through funding from the Wisconsin Department of Children and Families for child welfare and child care services.

The tribe places task orders under two basic ordering agreements with the General Services Administration: Basic Ordering Agreement GS05B16927 (102 task orders, $1 million combined potential value) and Basic Ordering Agreement GS05B16382 (75 task orders, $1.7 million combined potential value), indicating a real estate leasing footprint aligned with the NAICS concentration in nonresidential building lessors (125 awards). Activity volume has grown from 16 awards in 2022 to 61 awards in 2024, with a slight moderation to 42 in 2025 and 15 awards year-to-date in 2026. Thirteen awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing recompete or renewal exposure. The tribe operates as a sub-recipient in a small number of federal grant agreements with prime grantees including the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (youth immersion program in the Delaware River watershed), the State of Wisconsin Department of Health Services (health infrastructure, mental health, Medicaid, and family services), and the State of Wisconsin Department of Children and Families (child welfare, child care, and targeted safety support for tribes). Combined obligated dollars across all awards ($80.7 million) exceed combined potential value ($2.9 million) by a factor of 28, reflecting the tribe's role as a direct service provider and custodian of federal entitlements and formula grants.
