Crow Creek Sioux Tribe

Crow Creek Sioux Tribe, a federally recognized tribal government headquartered in Fort Thompson, South Dakota, operates as a prime recipient of federal contracts and grants focused on environmental stewardship, natural resource management, waste management, and community services delivered directly to tribal lands on the Crow Creek Indian Reservation. The tribe competes without set-aside designations across its federal footprint, which spans 394 total awards (100% prime, no subcontract work) with combined potential value of $13.4 million and combined obligated dollars of $45.5 million.

The tribe's contract capability centers on facility and environmental services, with firm fixed-price purchase orders typically ranging from $11,000 to $75,000 and performance periods of one to two years. Representative contract work includes a $47,568 waste management services contract awarded by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers on March 6, 2026, running through March 31, 2030; a $74,906 monitoring services contract awarded by USACE on June 20, 2024; a $42,510 spray food plots purchase order from USACE Engineering District Omaha on April 30, 2025; and a $33,869 boundary fence repair and natural resource improvement contract awarded by USACE on September 7, 2022. The tribe also holds standing on a General Services Administration Basic Ordering Agreement (GS08B13842) with 95 task orders valued at $11.1 million in combined potential value, primarily supporting facilities maintenance and leasing operations.

Customer concentration is dispersed across 27 distinct federal agencies. The top five customers by award count account for 37% of awards and include the Department of the Interior Bureau of Indian Affairs (59 awards), the Environmental Protection Agency (29 awards), the Department of the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Omaha (21 awards, $815 thousand combined potential value), the Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families (19 awards), and the Department of the Interior Bureau of Indian Affairs Great Plains Region (18 awards, $174 thousand combined potential value). By potential dollar value, the General Services Administration Public Buildings Service leads with 15 awards valued at $3.8 million, reflecting the tribe's GSA lease footprint; USACE Engineering District Omaha follows with $815 thousand across 21 awards.

The tribe's federal grant portfolio is substantially larger and more diverse than its contract work, spanning nutrition assistance, child care, environmental programs, and community development initiatives. Grant recipients include the Administration on Aging (funding the Older Americans Act Title VI and OAA Nutrition Services Incentive Program for Native Americans), the EPA Region 8 (funding brownfields response, underground storage tank programs, environmental program partnerships, leaking underground storage tank prevention, and air quality monitoring under the Inflation Reduction Act), the Department of Health and Human Services Office of Child Care (funding Child Care and Development Block Grants and mandatory/matching funds for child care services with combined multi-year periods through September 2028), the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service (funding the Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations with awards of $454,051 for FY2026 and $327,451 for FY2022, CFDA 10.567), and the U.S. Department of Treasury (funding Coronavirus Capital Projects Fund broadband infrastructure improvements). The tribe performs all grant work directly as the prime recipient with no identified sub-recipients.

Award activity has remained relatively flat at nine awards per year in 2022–2024, declining to seven in 2025 and three in 2026 year to date. Twelve awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, exposing the tribe to recompete opportunity across environmental, facility maintenance, and nutrition assistance programs. The tribe's primary NAICS concentration reflects its operational focus: Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings (except Miniwarehouses) account for 98 awards, followed by Environment, Conservation and Wildlife Organizations (16 awards) and Water Supply and Irrigation Systems (13 awards). Primary PSC codes include Social Direct Aid to Tribal Governments (55 awards), Lease/Rental of Office Buildings (44 awards), Natural Resources/Conservation Other Wildlife Management (18 awards), and Utilities Water (11 awards).
