The Department of the Interior Bureau of Indian Affairs Mid-West Region is a civilian sub-agency within Interior that funds and procures services, equipment, and infrastructure supporting tribal nations and trust lands across its regional jurisdiction.

The Mid-West Region awards contracts actively across a broad portfolio. Since 2007, the agency has made 764 federal contract awards totaling $47.7 million in combined potential value, with $41.8 million obligated to date. Contract activity over the last five years shows 29 awards in 2022, 42 in 2023, 29 in 2024, 22 in 2025, and 22 year-to-date in 2026. The competitive landscape is moderately concentrated by award count: the top five primes by recent activity hold 53 percent of awards, led by Saint Louis County Administration Building (26 awards), County Sherburne (18 awards), and Semoice Technology Inc. and Raventek Solution Partners, LLC (12 awards each). By potential value, concentration is lower at 43 percent of recent combined value; Bridger Aerospace Group, LLC dominates with $14 million across three awards, followed by Helicopter Express LLC ($2.3 million, three awards) and Air Resources Helicopters, Inc.

The set-aside mix is predominantly open awards: 73 percent of contracts carry no set-aside designation. Indian Small Business Economic Enterprise and Buy Indian set-asides together account for 12 percent of awards, and total small-business set-asides (ISBE, Buy Indian, traditional SBA small business, and reserved) represent 27 percent. The remaining designations (8(a) sole source, HUBZone, WOSB) are minimal, appearing in fewer than five awards combined.
