Native American Development Corporation

Native American Development Corp, doing business as N A D C, a non-profit, minority-owned, Native American-owned community development corporation headquartered in Billings, Montana, operates as a prime federal contractor and grant recipient delivering healthcare services, economic development support, procurement technical assistance, and behavioral health programming to tribal and urban Indian communities, competing predominantly full-and-open and without set-aside designations across its contract footprint. The organization includes two for-profit subsidiaries: Indigenuity Clinical Lab, Inc., a certified minority-owned Indian small business enterprise, and American Indian Consulting Services Inc., a Native American-owned Indian economic enterprise structured as an LLC, both of which carry independent SBA self-certification as small disadvantaged businesses.

NADC's federal contract work centers on a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract with the Indian Health Service (awarded January 31, 2023, ceiling $8.46 million through February 28, 2027) for non-personal healthcare services supporting the Billings Urban Indian Organization. Seven delivery orders totaling over $7.5 million have been issued under this vehicle since award, with the most recent order exercising option year three ($1.82 million, February 9, 2026, through February 28, 2027). The contract is structured as cost-reimbursement, cost-no-fee for commercial items, and funds healthcare delivery, referrals, and outreach to American Indian and Alaska Native populations in the Billings and Yellowstone County area. NADC dominates IHS's customer ranking, representing 9 awards and the full $25.2 million in combined potential value across NADC's entire prime and sub federal award portfolio.

NADC's federal grant footprint spans health services, economic development, and capacity building across multiple agencies. The Defense Logistics Agency has awarded four consecutive fiscal-year cooperative agreements (FY2023–FY2026) funding NADC to establish and maintain an APEX Accelerator center for procurement technical assistance to businesses pursuing federal, state, and local contracting, with the most recent award ($719,682, May 15, 2026) running through April 14, 2027 under CFDA 12.002. The Minority Business Development Agency has funded NADC through project grants and cooperative agreements for American Indian, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian business development, capital readiness, and economic impact programs (four awards, 2021–2024). The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration awarded a project grant ($200,000 range, August 15, 2021) for COVID-19 emergency response suicide prevention for urban Indians in Billings and Yellowstone County, executed through December 14, 2023 in partnership with Sunburst Mental Health and Cedar Creek Integrated Health. The National Institutes of Health Office of the Director funded a cooperative agreement (January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2027) for Special Diabetes Programs for Indians (SDPI) diabetes care coordination at the Billings Urban Indian Health and Wellness Center. The Community Development Financial Institutions Fund awarded a project grant ($200,000 range, April 10, 2023) for capital expansion and lending in low-to-moderate income communities affected by COVID-19. NADC also operates as a sub-recipient under state of Montana Department of Health and Human Services grants, receiving allocations for substance-use disorder (SUD) treatment and opioid-use disorder intervention beginning January 2022.

Award activity accelerated sharply through 2023 (13 awards) but has contracted to near dormancy since (3 awards in 2024, 3 in 2025, 2 in 2026 year-to-date). The recompete exposure in the next twenty-four months is modest—four awards with combined potential value of $1.8 million reaching ultimate completion—but the declining annual award count and the concentration of dollars against the single IHS IDIQ contract create material revenue-stream risk if that primary vehicle's renewal is compressed or contested.

NADC operates as a prime on 89% of its 84 total federal awards; the 11% sub-recipient and grant sub-award activity is routed through state of Montana grants and a capacity-building sub-grant under the Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC) Financial Opportunity Center program. Service Contract Inventory data show only $350 thousand in SCI-reportable invoiced revenue (FY2022), delivered across 16.6 FTEs at a median government-paid rate of $10.13 per hour, with zero FTE and invoicing activity reported in FY2023 and FY2024 — a signal that SCI-reportable service contracts above the $150,000 threshold do not constitute a material portion of NADC's federal revenue stream. The organization's primary federal business is grant receipt and IDIQ delivery orders under the IHS healthcare contract, neither of which generates substantial SCI reporting.
