Koniag, Inc.

Koniag, Inc., an Alaskan Native Corporation and minority-owned business headquartered in Anchorage, Alaska, operates exclusively as a prime recipient on federal grant programs focused on cultural preservation, library services, forest management infrastructure, and rural energy development — with no contract prime or subcontract activity in the recent award footprint. Koniag's parent corporation structure encompasses thirteen named subsidiaries including Angayuk Construction Enterprises, Inc., Koniag Energy And Water LLC, Professional Computing Resources Inc., Frontier Systems Integrator, LLC, and Clarus Technologies, LLC, several of which carry self-certified small disadvantaged business designations and Native American ownership; however, the grant award footprint reflects Koniag, Inc. proper as the sole recipient entity across all federal fundings.

Koniag's recent federal activity concentrates in Native American library services and cultural heritage preservation, anchored by fourteen awards from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) spanning 2021 to 2026. Representative IMLS grants include a Native American Library Services Basics Grant (most recent award August 1, 2026, completing July 31, 2027) for library materials acquisition, community programming, and staff training; the "Liigwik-Learning Place" project (awarded September 1, 2024, completing August 31, 2027) to expand the Koniag Cultural Library into a community learning center within the Alutiiq Museum & Archaeological Repository; a book publication project celebrating Kodiak Alutiiq contemporary arts (awarded July 1, 2023, completing June 30, 2027); and multiple annual operational grants for cataloging library collections, metadata enhancement, and public access to Alutiiq heritage materials. The Institute of Museum and Library Services and the National Commission on Libraries and Information Science together account for 21 of 35 total awards (60% by count).

Forest management and temporary bridge rental infrastructure represents Koniag's second major grant portfolio, driven by five awards from the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service, Region 10 (Alaska Region) totaling $2.821 million under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act Temporary Bridge Program (CFDA 10.721). These grants, spanning 2023 through 2027, fund the acquisition, maintenance, and deployment of portable skidder bridges, bridge mats, and water crossing structures to support timber harvesting and forest management operations across the Kodiak Archipelago while minimizing stream bed disturbance. The largest single award in the source is the Koniag Afognak Island Road System Temporary Bridge Project ($2.251 million, awarded April 30, 2024, completing March 31, 2027). Koniag also received two awards from USDA Rural Business Cooperative Services for renewable energy systems and energy efficiency improvements (REAP program, CFDA 10.868, $247,778 awarded August 19, 2024, completing August 19, 2026).

Additional grant recipients include the USDA National Resources Conservation Service (Afognak Island Innovative Silvopastoral & Subsistence Management Project Phase 2, $481,250, awarded August 30, 2024, completing August 29, 2027) and the Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service (Community Affairs Liaison cooperative agreement for the Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge, awarded May 1, 2022, completing April 30, 2024). Historic preservation work includes a National Park Service Historic Preservation Fund grant for an archaeological survey of Shuyak Island (awarded September 1, 2023, completing December 31, 2025). Combined dollars obligated across all awards totals $6.7 million, with eight awards reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and therefore exposed to recompete.

Activity has grown from three awards in 2022 to eight in 2024, then dropped to two each in 2025 and 2026; the most recent award arrived August 1, 2026. Koniag operates across nine distinct customer agencies, with 86% of awards concentrated in the top five customers — IMLS, NCLIS, USDA Forest Service Alaska Region, NRCS, and USDA Rural Business Cooperative Services. The vendor maintains no federal contract prime vehicle or subcontract exposure in the source data; its entire footprint is grant-funded, recipient-led community and environmental work in Alaska.
