About the company
Cherokee Nation Strategic Programs, L.L.C., a tribally-owned 8(a) certified small disadvantaged business subsidiary of Cherokee Nation Businesses LLC, operates as a prime contractor (97% of awards) delivering engineering, program management, security, and administrative support services to federal civilian, defense, and intelligence agencies across 59 customer organizations. The company competes predominantly under 8(a) set-asides on the OASIS SB vehicle and maintains headquarters in Tulsa, Oklahoma; its 8(a) certification expires February 18, 2025.
The vendor's capability portfolio centers on professional and technical services grounded in four principal areas. Engineering services, including environmental remediation, civil engineering, and facilities management, anchor the largest share of awards (127 NAICS records). Administrative and program management consulting, security support services, and technical advisory work across defense and civilian agencies comprise the remainder. Representative work includes a $164.2 million delivery order from the State Department's Bureau of Diplomatic Security for countermeasures administrative services (awarded December 2024, performing 78.1 FTEs in FY2025); a $57.9 million Air Force Civil Engineer Center BRAC advisory and assistance order (awarded April 2023, growing from 14.8 FTEs in FY2023 to 29.8 FTEs in FY2025 at rising hourly rates, $208.63/hr to $222.65/hr); a $44.3 million Defense Health Agency order for comprehensive health surveillance and epidemiology support (awarded September 2023, performing 35.6 FTEs in FY2025 with major subcontractors Insight Global and Zachary Piper providing data engineering and epidemiology specialists); and a $36.9 million Pacific Air Forces order for advisory and assistance services supporting Andersen AFB Typhoon Mawar rebuilding (awarded January 2024, invoicing $3.8 million in FY2024 across 9.6 FTEs at $191.80/hr).
Customer concentration is fragmented across the federal government. The top five customers by award count account for 45% of awards, led by the Drug Enforcement Administration (51 awards, $65.9 million), the Marine Corps (29 awards, $36.2 million), the Air Force Civil Engineer Center (20 awards, $246.6 million), and the Coast Guard (19 awards, $197.1 million). The top five by potential value account for 37% of combined dollar exposure: the State Department Bureau of Diplomatic Security ($525.4 million across 5 awards), the Air Force Civil Engineer Center ($246.6 million), the Coast Guard ($197.1 million), the Defense Health Agency ($163.3 million), and the Western Area Power Administration ($75.3 million). The two rankings diverge notably — State leads dollars but ranks fifth in volume, reflecting concentration of large multi-year delivery orders on the OASIS SB vehicle alongside numerous smaller DEA awards.
The vendor holds strong positions on two critical government-wide vehicles. The One Acquisition Solution for Integrated Services - Small Business (OASIS SB) carries 116 task orders valued at $1.32 billion combined potential, representing the preponderance of active work. A newly awarded Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) IDV from the Missile Defense Agency carries a $151 billion ceiling (December 2025 award, multiple-award full-and-open) and extends through December 2035. The vendor also sits on the OASIS+ Unrestricted GWAC (awarded April 2025, no ceiling specified) and a Defense Threat Reduction Agency Assessment, Exercise, and Modeling & Simulation Support contract ($850 million, July 2022 award). Smaller IDVs include a Naval Air Warfare Center Rapid Labor contract ($249.7 million, total small business set-aside, multiple award), a DHS Blanket Purchase Agreement for security support services to the Office of Intelligence and Analysis ($8.6 million, single award, February 2025), and multiple task-order vehicles with DEA, Defense Health Agency, and others.
Activity has grown modestly over the past three years — 24 awards in 2022, 26 in 2023, 26 in 2024, declining to 10 in 2025 and 4 in 2026 through August — though dollar value shows upward trajectory: SCI-reported invoicing increased from $94.9 million in FY2022 to $138 million in FY2025, with FTE headcount on federal service contracts rising from 414 to 479 across the same period. Twenty-five awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $340.2 million, presenting significant recompete exposure concentrated in OASIS SB delivery orders and Air Force Civil Engineer Center environmental and advisory services work.
SCI-reported invoicing shows the vendor self-performs substantially all labor on federal service contracts; across prime contracts, subcontractors account for only 1% of total contractor hours, with 22 named subs identified across the portfolio. Named subcontractors include Insight Global LLC (data engineering and staffing), Booz Allen Hamilton (environmental remediation and health surveillance support), Zachary Piper LLC (epidemiology), General Dynamics Information Technology, Operational Psychology Services LLC, and tribally-owned affiliates Cherokee Nation Management & Consulting L.L.C. and Cherokee Nation Defense Solutions LLC. Government-paid hourly rates on federal services work reflect a wide range: 10th percentile $51.59/hr, median $95.60/hr, 90th percentile $190.87/hr, indicating mix of administrative and technical labor. The vendor operates as part of Cherokee Nation Businesses LLC, a federally recognized tribally-owned parent entity, and maintains a stable workforce of approximately 450 FTEs across enterprise operations.
