About the company
Nor-Kem Distributors Inc., a Native American-owned, HUBZone-certified small disadvantaged business headquartered in St. Michaels, Arizona, supplies janitorial, office, medical, and dietary goods to federal healthcare and administrative facilities as a 100% prime contractor operating exclusively under minority-set-aside designations. The company holds SBA HUBZone and 8(a) program certifications and is registered as a self-certified small disadvantaged business and American Indian-owned entity, giving it access to Buy Indian and Indian Small Business Economic Enterprise set-asides that characterize its entire federal footprint.
Nor-Kem's customer base is heavily concentrated with the Indian Health Service, which accounts for 349 of 487 total awards (78% of the source sample) valued at $21.6 million combined potential value — representing 91% of the vendor's $24 million total federal award portfolio. The Department of the Interior's Bureau of Indian Affairs Navajo Region places an additional 27 awards worth $232 thousand. This concentration reflects Nor-Kem's positioning as a primary supplies distributor for over 30 IHS healthcare facilities across New Mexico, Arizona, and Colorado serving Native American communities. Recent awards include a $250 thousand blanket purchase agreement for housekeeping supplies to IHS (March 2026, Indian Small Business Economic Enterprise set-aside), a $190 thousand BPA for miscellaneous office supplies to the Crownpoint Healthcare Facility (February 2026, Indian Small Business Economic Enterprise set-aside), and a $170 thousand blanket purchase agreement for cleaning and office supplies to Crownpoint's Environmental Services department (May 2025, Indian Small Business Economic Enterprise set-aside). A prior $3.03 million bulk-funded purchase order (November 2022) supplied office, janitorial, medical, and dietary goods across the IHS regional network.
Nor-Kem operates under four primary parent vehicles: a blanket purchase agreement (HHSI2452004107BPB) supporting 34 task orders, an indefinite delivery contract (DJU4600002217) backing 28 task orders valued at $72 thousand, and two additional IDCs carrying smaller volumes. The vendor's product footprint spans toiletry paper products (231 awards), office supplies (74 awards), and medical and surgical instruments and supplies (56 awards), grounded in NAICS categories for nondurable goods merchant wholesaling, sanitary paper product manufacturing, and medical equipment and supplies distribution. Only one award (valued at $170 thousand) reaches completion inside the next twenty-four months, presenting minimal near-term recompete exposure. The vendor has not sub-awarded work and maintains no subcontractor relationships in the source data.
