Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community

Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community, doing business as Srpmic, is a federally recognized tribal government headquartered in Scottsdale, Arizona that acts as a prime recipient of federal grants across health, human services, child welfare, employment and training, public safety, environmental, and infrastructure programs serving its reservation community. The tribe operates through its Administration Division and subsidiary entities including The Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community Social Service and Salt River Business Development LLC (a tribally owned, self-certified small disadvantaged business). Srpmic competes in full-and-open federal grant markets and receives direct formula and project grants rather than competing for contracts; the source contains no federal contract prime or sub work.

Srpmic's federal funding portfolio centers on human services, child welfare, and community development. The Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families funds the bulk of Srpmic's prime work, with 133 combined awards across child care (CFDA 93.575, 93.596), foster care (CFDA 93.658), adoption assistance (CFDA 93.659), family support services (CFDA 93.556), and temporary assistance for needy families (CFDA 93.558). Representative examples include a $20.980 million Child Care and Development Block Grant Discretionary award from the Office of Child Care (October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2028) and a $5.722 million Head Start program award from the Office of Head Start (January 1, 2026, through December 31, 2030) for American Indian and Alaska Native Head Start and Early Head Start services. The Department of the Interior Bureau of Indian Affairs and Indian Education provides 48 awards for formula grants in child welfare and education, the Department of Labor Employment and Training Administration provides 28 awards for employment and training services under the Native American Employment and Training Program (CFDA 17.265) and Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) implementation, and the Environmental Protection Agency funds environmental and climate action work across 26 awards totaling $125 million combined potential value, including a $9.753 million Climate Pollution Reduction Grants Cooperative Agreement (December 1, 2024, through November 30, 2029) for fleet electrification, EV charging infrastructure, building retrofits, and carbon sequestration.

Srpmic also receives grants from the Federal Transit Administration for tribal transit operations (CFDA 20.509), the Department of Justice for victim services (CFDA 16.841), tribal justice programs (CFDA 16.596), and community policing (CFDA 16.710), and the Department of Health and Human Services Indian Health Service for injury prevention (CFDA 93.284) and diabetes prevention (CFDA 93.840). A $71.998 million Federal Highway Administration grant funds roadway and stormwater infrastructure improvements to Pima Road in Scottsdale (February 26, 2024, through February 27, 2027). The tribe also holds formula grants from the Administration on Aging for Native American caregiver support and nutrition services, the National Park Service for historic preservation, the Institute of Museum and Library Services for archive digitization, and FEMA for disaster relief and firefighter assistance.

Recent activity shows 33 awards in 2022, 39 in 2023, 40 in 2024, 27 in 2025, and 10 through September 2026. Within the next twenty-four months, 28 awards face ultimate completion and recompete. Srpmic acts as prime recipient on 92 percent of awards; the remaining 8 percent are sub-awards flowing through Arizona state agencies as pass-through entities under WIOA Title I Adult and Dislocated Worker programs, WIOA youth programs, and emergency management grant programs. The tribe maintains a consistent posture across federal grant programs as a direct administrator of tribal social services, public health, public safety, and infrastructure programs serving enrolled community members and the broader Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community reservation.
