American Indian and Alaska Native Tribal Governments

The NAICS code 921150 covers American Indian and Alaska Native Tribal Governments, which engage in providing governmental services and support to federally recognized tribal communities. These services encompass a wide range of activities including cultural resource management, environmental monitoring, health services, transportation, and infrastructure support. Tribal governments function as unique governmental entities with the capacity to contract directly with federal agencies to deliver specialized services that leverage their local expertise and cultural knowledge.

Federal contract awards under this NAICS code predominantly involve cultural resource management, environmental monitoring, health services, and tribal support programs. Typical contract values range from approximately $14,000 to $1.1 million, with performance periods spanning 1-5 years. Frequently awarded entities include tribes such as the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe, Delaware Tribe of Indians, Red Lake Band of Chippewa Indians, and Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation. Funding agencies include the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Indian Health Service, Environmental Protection Agency, and Department of the Interior. Most awards are firm fixed-price contracts and purchase orders, with no specific set-aside designations. Performance locations are typically within tribal lands across states like Montana, Minnesota, Washington, and Nevada.

The sole federal contract opportunity posted involves a pre-solicitation notice from the Environmental Protection Agency for a five-year, $1.1 million sole-source contract with the Bad River Band of Lake Superior Tribe of Chippewa Indians. This opportunity focuses on a research support project titled "Tribal Cumulative Impacts (TCI)" to explore environmental impacts on community-level health. The project will utilize culturally relevant participatory research methodologies to quantify environmental exposures across various domains and assess associations with health outcomes, emphasizing tribal sovereignty and self-determination in environmental management and health interventions.
