About the company
Cherokee United Services, L.L.C., a tribally-owned and 8(a)-certified HUBZone small business based in Tulsa, Oklahoma, delivers specialized labor-hour staffing services to civilian federal agencies as a prime contractor under Competitive 8(a) and 8(a) Sole Source set-asides, with a subsidiary relationship to Cherokee Nation Businesses LLC. The vendor operates predominantly as a prime (95% of recent awards) and competes almost exclusively through set-aside vehicles rather than full-and-open procurement.
Customer concentration is extreme and recent-biased. The U.S. Geological Survey's Office of Acquisitions and Grants accounts for 61 awards and $58.2 million in combined potential value—83% of awards by count and 41% of combined potential value across the entire 73-award portfolio. The remaining customer base includes the Small Business Administration Office of Government Contracting and Business Development ($22.6 million across 2 awards), the Department of State ($22.5 million, 1 award), the Department of Housing and Urban Development ($20 million, 1 award), and the Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families ($19.1 million across 3 awards). This concentration reflects a strategic posture anchored to a single large parent vehicle at USGS and several large definitive contracts across civilian IT and administrative support functions.
The vendor's primary vehicle footprint centers on a $49.5 million single-award Competitive 8(a) IDIQ with USGS (140G0126D0002, award date May 6, 2026, ultimate completion date May 14, 2031). Since award, this vehicle has generated 60 task orders with $8.7 million in combined potential value, positioning it as the engine driving recent activity growth. The IDIQ supports research, engineering, program management, GIS specialist, database specialist, hydrologic monitoring, coastal hazards, and business support roles across multiple USGS Southeast field locations including St. Petersburg, Lafayette, Gainesville, Tuscaloosa, Nashville, Jackson, Fayetteville, and Columbia. Recent representative orders include $512.6 thousand for an Advanced Applications Team in Lafayette (July 2026), $337.7 thousand for research scientist staffing in Gainesville (July 2026), and $327.9 thousand for research equipment specialist roles in Tuscaloosa (June 2026). Outside the USGS vehicle, the vendor operates definitive contracts with larger dollar magnitudes: a $22.5 million 8(a) sole-source contract with the Department of State for Reasonable Accommodations Support Personnel (ultimate completion January 29, 2030, awarded January 30, 2025); a $19.96 million 8(a) sole-source contract with HHS Office of the Chief Information Officer for CISO Cybersecurity Transformation (ultimate completion September 29, 2026, awarded September 30, 2024); and a $14.78 million 8(a) sole-source contract with ACF for AWS-to-NGSC application migration (ultimate completion September 29, 2027, awarded September 29, 2024). Two additional contact center contracts for SBA's Office of Government Contracting and Business Development total $22.6 million combined.
Activity has expanded sharply: 8 awards in 2024, 3 in 2025, and 62 in 2026. However, this trajectory reflects the May 2026 USGS IDIQ award's task-order volume rather than organic growth across multiple customer relationships. Fifty-nine awards (combined potential value $23.4 million) face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating significant recompete exposure centered on the USGS vehicle and the HHS Cybersecurity Transformation contract.
SCI-reported invoiced revenue totals $9.1 million across FY2024 and FY2025, driven by $9 million in FY2025 across 19.5 FTEs. The vendor self-performs all labor on SCI-reportable prime contracts (0% sub-engagement share). On the Department of State Reasonable Accommodations contract, FY2025 invoicing reached $2.2 million across 10.7 FTEs with zero subcontractor labor. Government-paid median hourly rates on SCI-reportable work run at $519.39/hr. The GSA Schedule contract ($475,000 ceiling, awarded August 26, 2026) offers 36 labor categories ranging from $49.61/hr for Help Desk Specialists to $211.95/hr for Application Security Engineers, with education requirements from Associates to Bachelor's and no security-clearance roles.
Work spans research support, administrative staffing, cybersecurity consulting, facilities support, and IT services. The vendor holds a minor subcontractor role to Cherokee Nation System Solutions LLC on Air Force Installation Mission Support Center IT support and Afghan community integration services, indicating a secondary channel for defense-aligned work routed through a related prime.
NAICS concentration aligns with the award portfolio: 61 awards fall under All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services (541990), with administrative consulting and facilities support making up the remainder. PSC coding reflects the same pattern, with 64 awards under Support-Professional-Other and smaller clusters in communications and IT application development.
The source data reflects Cherokee United Services as a child entity of Cherokee Nation Businesses LLC, a larger tribally-owned corporate parent with its own federal prime and grant award footprint. Cherokee United Services' posture as a 100%-set-aside player, combined with its USGS IDIQ scale and State Department sole-source win, positions it as a competitive threat on any 8(a) procurement with civilian-agency labor-hour staffing requirements and as a potential sub to larger 8(a) or non-set-aside primes seeking HUBZone or tribal certification.
