Pueblo Of Zuni

Pueblo Of Zuni Finance Department Division, a federally recognized Indian tribe based in Zuni, New Mexico, acts as prime recipient on federal grants and contracts across multiple agencies, delivering tribal government services, community development programs, and infrastructure improvements. The entity operates as a tribally owned government organization without SBA small business certifications; it competes in full-and-open federal grant and contract vehicles reserved for federally recognized tribes and tribal organizations.

The Pueblo of Zuni's federal footprint is dominated by grant work (751 of 754 awards are prime grants and contracts). Recent contract work centers on Tribal Employment Rights Office (TERO) services for the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission — three consecutive annual TERO contracts awarded October 2023 through October 2025 at $32,000 to $33,000 per year — and solid waste collection services for the Indian Health Service's Zuni Community Health Center, including a $57,335.45 purchase order exercising option period two through March 2029. Across the past several years, the Pueblo has executed a broad portfolio of federal grants spanning health, nutrition, transportation, justice, environmental, and community services programs.

Customer concentration is dispersed across 58 federal agencies, with no single agency dominating the portfolio by dollar value. The top-funded customer by combined potential value is the General Services Administration Public Buildings Service (31 awards, $39.9 million), though this concentration appears to reflect a technical GSA vehicle coding rather than operational concentration. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (20 awards, $398 thousand), the Department of Health and Human Services Indian Health Service (10 awards, $182 thousand), and the Department of the Interior Bureau of Indian Affairs (12 awards, $5 thousand) follow by potential value. By award count, the Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families and the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service dominate, together accounting for approximately 34% of all awards. This split—high volume in grants but lower per-award value, concentrated in social services and nutrition programs—reflects the Pueblo's role administering block grants and formula grants for vulnerable populations.

The Pueblo sits on two GSA Basic Ordering Agreements: GS07B14460 (112 task orders, $120 million combined potential value) and GS07B13832 (107 task orders, $7.2 million combined potential value). These vehicles anchor the real estate and professional services work visible in the category concentration — 114 awards under Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings and 102 awards under Lease/Rental of Office Buildings PSC codes — suggesting the BOAs support facility and property management activities.

Grant work spans AmeriCorps Seniors programs (Senior Companion and Foster Grandparent Programs, CFDA 94.016), the Federal Aviation Administration Airport Improvement Program (multiple awards for runway pavement preservation, safety area construction, and obstruction removal at Zuni Airport, CFDA 20.106), the Federal Highway Administration Tribal Transportation Program (multiple awards totaling over $2.7 million for highway construction and preservation, CFDA 20.205), the U.S. Department of Agriculture WIC program (nutrition services and food expenses, CFDA 10.557), the Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations (FDPIR, CFDA 10.567), the Department of Health and Human Services Administration on Aging Older Americans Act programs (Title VI grants for Native American elders, CFDA 93.047), child support enforcement services (CFDA 93.563), community services block grants (CFDA 93.569), and federal victim services programs (TVSSA and CJA Partnerships for Indian Communities, CFDA 16.841). The Pueblo also received a $999,531 cooperative agreement from the EPA Solid Waste Infrastructure for Recycling (SWIFR) program and a $250,000 cooperative agreement from the Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management for cultural and paleontological resource management consultation related to the Bears Ears National Monument management plan.

Activity has averaged 20–31 awards per year over the past five years, with modest decline in 2025 (20 awards) and only 6 awards recorded in the first seven months of 2026, though the source captures only recent data. The recompete cliff shows 25 awards (combined potential value $33 thousand) reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing modest recompete exposure relative to the total portfolio. The Pueblo operates as the sole prime on its federal award footprint, with three named sub-awards visible in the source: a sub-award from the University of New Mexico for a fall prevention research project with Zuni elders, and two sub-awards related to public transit operating assistance.
