Purchase Order 47QFSA19P0005

The Department of the Air Force awarded a time and materials contract to Cherokee Nation Strategic Programs, L.L.C., a tribally owned and SBA-certified 8(a) small disadvantaged business, to provide unmanned aerial systems (UAS) support to U.S. Special Operations Command (SOCOM) under a sole source 8(a) set-aside. The $884,379.70 contract has a completion date of June 27, 2019.

Cherokee Nation Strategic Programs is a subsidiary of the Cherokee Nation, the federally recognized government of the Cherokee people, and has a history of providing a range of professional, technical, and support services to U.S. government agencies as both a prime and subcontractor. This award is likely connected to the company's position on the $1 billion OASIS SB contract, a multiple-award, indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) vehicle held by the company to deliver integrated professional services to civilian agencies.
