About the company

Written by GovTribe AI ·

Cherokee Nation Businesses LLC (doing business as CNB), a tribally owned Oklahoma-based limited liability company, operates as a subcontractor (75% of recent awards) and occasional prime on federal IT and engineering contracts, with a portfolio heavily weighted toward the Department of the Navy and defense-adjacent agencies. CNB is a Native American-owned, tribally owned firm certified as an Indian Economic Enterprise, Indian Small Business Economic Enterprise, and self-certified Small Disadvantaged Business, and is headquartered in Catoosa, Oklahoma as a subsidiary of the Cherokee Nation tribal government.

The vendor's recent award footprint is sparse but concentrated in maritime and national security work. Total awards across prime and sub roles stand at four since 2010, with combined dollars obligated at $5 million. Two awards funded by the Department of the Navy Secretary of the Navy Office of Naval Research dominate the customer count; these involved sub-recipient work alongside the University of Southern Mississippi on hybrid autonomous underwater vehicle and autonomous surface vehicle (AUV/ASV) payload and sensor evaluation for coastal monitoring and uncrewed data acquisition missions in support of national security operations. CNB's role included investigation of key sensors, interfaces, requirements, and obstacles to deploying novel hybrid platforms, sensor package testing and evaluation, and training delivery to USM staff at Gulfport facilities, with deliverables consisting of technical reports on platform transition planning for federal agencies and the US Navy. A Department of the Treasury Internal Revenue Service prime award placed CNB on the IRS Enterprise Development Operations Services vehicle for one task order. A Department of Energy award, not further detailed in the source, rounds out the customer set.

In its subcontractor capacity, CNB delivers project management, testing, independent verification and validation, and product integration services to Booz Allen Hamilton on an October 2024 sub award covering IT services and project testing. Its earlier sub-recipient grants with the University of Southern Mississippi (funded by DON through USM's Roger F. Wicker Center for Ocean Enterprise) involved technical investigation and proof-of-concept work on hybrid autonomous platforms for coastal defense missions, with work performed in 2023. The vendor's NAICS footprint is limited in the source data to custom computer programming services, though its corporate structure signals broader capability scope through named subsidiaries including Cherokee Nation Aerospace and Defense LLC, Cherokee Nation Government Solutions LLC, Cherokee Nation Technology Solutions LLC, and Cherokee Strategic Edge LLC — entities that suggest defense, IT, and technology-services positioning beyond the sparse recent award history. Activity is irregular; one award in 2010, two in 2023, and one in 2024. No recompete cliff or vehicle concentration is evident given the small award count and age spread.
