Tanaq Support Services, LLC

Tanaq Support Services, LLC, an Alaskan Native Corporation-owned small business headquartered in Anchorage, Alaska, operates as a prime contractor providing professional services, IT solutions, program management, and strategic communications to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as a certified 8(a) participant competing predominantly under 8(a) sole-source set-asides. Tanaq Support Services is a division of parent company ST George Tanaq Corp and holds multiple small business designations including tribally owned firm and Indian Economic Enterprise status, which have anchored the company's contracting strategy to set-aside vehicles across its entire 54-award prime footprint.

The vendor's customer concentration is extreme and represents acute revenue dependency. The CDC Pittsburgh accounts for 53 of 54 awards (100% coverage by count and value), representing $338.2 million in combined potential value against a $338.6 million total portfolio. The single non-CDC award is a $475,000 GSA Federal Supply Schedule contract issued in December 2023. This concentration extends across all time periods in the source data — 19 awards in 2022, declining to 2 awards year-to-date in 2026 — indicating a long-standing single-customer relationship rather than a transitional state. Tanaq operates exclusively as a prime contractor; the vendor award portfolio reflects zero sub-award activity.

Capability work spans public health support services, laboratory and bioinformatic services, IT solutions including SharePoint development and cloud migration, health communication outreach, and strategic communications for federal health agencies. Representative definitive contracts include an $11.16 million Office of Refugee Resettlement IT services engagement awarded August 27, 2024 (labor-hours, ultimate completion July 23, 2027); a $15.17 million program-support contract for the National Center for HIV, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention awarded September 28, 2022 (8(a) sole source, ultimate completion September 28, 2027); a $20.46 million JIC/TF Health Communication Support Services contract awarded September 19, 2022 for COVID-19 response (8(a) sole source, completion August 18, 2023); and a $14.92 million Office of Science Support Services contract awarded September 30, 2021 (8(a) sole source, ultimate completion September 29, 2026). Recent 2026 delivery orders include a $545,291 BTS Foundry Pipeline Configuration order under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (completion November 14, 2026) and a $257,598 CPIC EPLC support services delivery order (completion May 21, 2027).

Tanaq's vehicle footprint is concentrated on CDC-held indefinite delivery contracts. Three CDC IDVs dominate the task-order pipeline: a $25 million single-award support services IDV awarded September 1, 2022, running through August 31, 2027, which carries 9 task orders valued at $18.9 million combined; a $25 million Division of Reproductive Health single-award IDV awarded August 13, 2022, running through August 12, 2027, which carries 4 task orders valued at $3.7 million combined; and a $1,000 high-impact program evaluation projects IDV awarded September 28, 2022, running through September 27, 2027, which carries 3 task orders valued at $22.8 million combined. The GSA Multiple Award Schedule has issued 2 delivery orders totaling $803,000. The recompete cliff is material: 18 awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $107.7 million, representing 32% of the total portfolio at risk.

Activity has contracted sharply from a 2022 peak of 19 awards. The vendor recorded 6 awards in 2023, 5 in 2024, 1 in 2025, and 2 year-to-date in 2026. The source data spans first award July 19, 2019, with most recent activity July 15, 2026 — indicating sustained CDC presence over a seven-year window but declining volume and pipeline visibility in recent fiscal years. Service Contract Inventory data reflects this deceleration: SCI-reportable invoiced revenue declined from $61.2 million in FY2022 to $34.9 million in FY2024 (a 43% drop), with the FTE workforce scaling from 217 FTEs in FY2022 to 1,144 FTEs in FY2024 — the increase reflects a partial-year reporting artifact in FY2022 but masks steeply declining revenue per FTE year-over-year. Median government-paid hourly rates across SCI-reportable prime work ran $95.69/hr, with a 10th-to-90th percentile spread from $54.80/hr to $275.20/hr.

Tanaq self-performs the majority of work on prime contracts; across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractors account for approximately 16% of total contractor hours on average. The vendor reported 78 named subcontractors across the SCI dataset, indicating use of a distributed sub network rather than reliance on a single partner. Combined dollars obligated against the full portfolio stands at $254 million, or 75% of the $338.6 million combined potential value, reflecting modest backlog burn relative to ceiling values. Set-aside posture shows 32 of 54 awards designated as 8(a) sole source, with the remainder issued full-and-open or without set-aside designation, but the competitive advantage derived from 8(a) availability across the CDC's procurement environment remains the core structural feature of Tanaq's contract positioning.
