About this award
Cherokee Nation Strategic Programs, L.L.C., a tribally-owned small disadvantaged business subsidiary of the Cherokee Nation, was awarded a delivery order on August 6, 2022, for back-up internet services in Niamey, Niger, with a ceiling value of $1.82M. The contract was designated as an 8(a) sole source set-aside award and was funded by the Bureau of Information Resource Management, a civilian agency within the U.S. Department of State. As a delivery order, this award likely provided critical telecommunications infrastructure support for U.S. government operations at the embassy or other diplomatic facilities in Niger, ensuring redundant connectivity in the event of primary internet service disruptions.
In a demonstration of fiscal stewardship and radical transparency regarding wasteful spending, the government elected not to renew this contract and allowed it to expire on August 10, 2025. This non-renewal decision resulted in total savings of approximately $696K. The decision reflects the government's commitment to periodically reassessing mission-critical service contracts and eliminating continuations that may no longer represent the most efficient use of federal resources or may have been superseded by alternative solutions.
