Tanana Chiefs Conference Incorporated

Tanana Chiefs Conference Incorporated, an Alaska Native tribal organization, operates as a grant sub-recipient delivering community health, environmental justice, and environmental monitoring services to federal agencies and prime grantees. The vendor operates almost exclusively as a sub-recipient (80% of recent awards) rather than as a prime grantee or federal contractor, with five total awards in the source data spanning 2005 through 2026 and a combined potential value of $76 thousand against combined obligated dollars of $822 thousand.

The vendor's recent federal footprint centers on health and environmental programming under tribal health and environmental justice vehicles. Tanana Chiefs Conference served as a sub-recipient to Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium on a March 2026 award for planning and oversight of a girls' camp program, and on an August 2025 award supporting the Alaska Native Epidemiology Center. The vendor received a sub-award from Philanthropy Northwest under the EPA's Thriving Communities Type 2 Planning Project Grant in September 2025, supporting community-based environmental justice work addressing air quality, water quality, lead and asbestos abatement, healthy homes, food access, emergency preparedness, and environmental job training for greenhouse-gas-reduction occupations in Alaska. A University of Alaska Fairbanks sub-award from March 2024 funded the Community Eyes on River Ice citizen science program, expanding freshwater ice monitoring across Alaska using a culturally responsive model.

Customer agencies are distributed across four distinct federal offices, each representing one award as of the source snapshot — the Department of Justice Office on Violence Against Women, the Environmental Protection Agency Region 10, the Department of Health and Human Services Indian Health Service, and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Shared Services Center. Award frequency shows activity in 2005, then a gap until 2024, followed by two awards in 2025 and one in early 2026, reflecting recent re-engagement in federal grant work. The vendor's work spans other scientific and technical consulting services and data analysis, with Alaska as the primary operational geography for environmental and health programs serving Alaska Native communities.
