Zuni Pueblo Of

Zuni Cultural Resource Enterprise, the tribally owned business division of the Pueblo of Zuni, serves as the Zuni Tribal Historic Preservation Office and recipient of federal grants in cultural resource management, historic preservation, and tribal environmental stewardship — acting as prime recipient on 95 of 96 recent awards and as sub-recipient on one University of New Mexico grant sub-award. The organization is tribally owned and self-certified as a small disadvantaged business, headquartered at Zuni Pueblo in Zuni, New Mexico.

Zuni Cultural Resource Enterprise's federal work centers on tribal cultural preservation, historic properties management, archaeological site identification and evaluation, and tribal participation in federal resource management programs. Recent prime grant awards include a $195,060 Bureau of Reclamation grant (CFDA 15.511, Cultural Resources Management) awarded in September 2025 to develop a three-phase Zuni heritage coloring book for cultural education and intergenerational knowledge transfer, scheduled for completion by June 2027. The organization also holds recurring Historic Preservation Fund grants-in-aid (CFDA 15.904) from the National Park Service in fiscal years 2022 through 2025, supporting tribal historic preservation office activities under the National Historic Preservation Act, including survey, planning, documentation, and technical assistance on tribal lands. A October 2022 Bureau of Reclamation project grant funds Zuni's participation in the Glen Canyon Dam Adaptive Management Program, requiring attendance at adaptive management and technical work group meetings, review of program documentation, and production of annual performance evaluation reports on tribal monitoring of historic properties in the Grand Canyon and Glen Canyon areas through September 2027.

Customer concentration is heavily weighted to interior and cultural agencies. The Department of the Interior Bureau of Reclamation leads by combined potential value ($1.3 million across nine awards), while the Department of Health and Human Services Public Health Service accounts for 42 awards across the portfolio — the single largest category by award count but representing minimal potential value. The National Park Service (National Office and Intermountain Region combined) holds 13 awards totaling approximately $68 thousand. These five agencies account for 74% of recent awards and 94% of combined potential value. Activity has tapered significantly in recent years — three awards in 2022, declining to one award each in 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026. Three awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and therefore approach recompete. The organization competes exclusively in federal grant vehicles; no federal contracts or IDIQs appear in the award footprint. One sub-award from the University of New Mexico (amended in May 2026 to extend performance and increase funding by $293,340) represents the sole subcontractor role in the recent portfolio.
