Inter Tribal Council Inc.

Inter Tribal Council Inc., doing business as Inter Tribal Substance Abuse / Prevention & Treatment Center, is a tribally owned, minority-owned nonprofit based in Miami, Oklahoma that operates as a federal grant recipient across social services, nutrition assistance, workforce development, and broadband infrastructure programs, serving nine federally recognized Indian tribes in northeastern Oklahoma (Miami, Modoc, Ottawa, Peoria, Quapaw, Seneca-Cayuga, Shawnee, Eastern Shawnee, and Wyandotte). The organization operates exclusively as a prime recipient rather than a subcontractor or contractor; it holds no federal contract vehicles and has not pursued federal contracting work. All 202 awards in the organization's recent federal footprint are grants, with the organization acting as recipient on 100% of them.

Inter Tribal Council Inc. concentrates heavily on nutrition assistance and food security programs. The Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service dominates the portfolio, accounting for approximately 78% of awards through multiple operational programs. The organization administers the Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations (FDPIR, CFDA 10.567), providing USDA Foods and conducting household eligibility certification across nine participating tribal reservations; a $623,788 award dated October 1, 2025 (ultimate completion September 30, 2027) funds this work. The organization also operates the Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) program statewide for the region, receiving recurring formula grants for WIC administrative expenses ($683,830 as of October 1, 2025, CFDA 10.557), WIC food expenses ($966,635 as of October 1, 2025), WIC breastfeeding peer counselor services, and WIC modernization and technology initiatives. Related SNAP nutrition education and standards-for-applicant-eligibility (SAE) awards under CFDA 93.003 fund education and support activities tied to the broader food security portfolio.

Workforce development and employment training represent the second major capability line. The Department of Labor's Employment and Training Administration has awarded Inter Tribal Council multiple project grants under the Native American Employment and Training program (CFDA 17.265), supporting career services, training, and follow-up support for unemployed and underemployed American Indian, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian participants. A $208,124 project grant (April 1, 2022 to June 30, 2025) exemplifies this work. The Department of Health and Human Services has also supported employment initiatives through the Native Employment Works Program (NEWP), a series of annual block grants (CFDA 93.593) awarded July 1 each year beginning in 2022 and continuing through at least July 1, 2026.

Economic development planning and broadband infrastructure expansion round out the portfolio. The Economic Development Administration (EDA) under the Department of Commerce has funded comprehensive economic development strategy (CEDS) work for the Inter-Tribal Council region under CFDA 11.302, with a $180,000 project grant (January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2024) and continuation planning investment spanning January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2027. The National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) funded broadband infrastructure planning and deployment with a project grant (September 1, 2023 through March 31, 2026) supporting fixed wireless design, engineering, environmental compliance, and feasibility studies to serve households and tribal anchor institutions across Modoc Nation, Ottawa, and Seneca-Cayuga territories at or above 25/3 Mbps qualifying speeds.

Seven awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and present recompete opportunity. Activity has remained steady at eight to thirteen annual awards over the past five years, with 202 total awards since 1990 and $46.4 million in combined obligated dollars across all sources. The organization reports little to no subrecipient activity, delivering services directly to tribal communities rather than through downstream sub-award networks.
