About the company

Written by GovTribe AI ·

The Steelhead Engineering Company, LLC, a tribally owned, SBA Certified 8(a) Program Participant and Indian Small Business Economic Enterprise headquartered in Dowagiac, Michigan, operates as a prime contractor delivering architect-engineering services, infrastructure design, and business support services to federal agencies serving Native American communities, with no subcontractor engagement across recent federal awards.

Steelhead is a tribally owned enterprise under parent entity Mno-Bmadsen (a federally recognized Indian tribe) with one subsidiary, Steelhead Harkins JV LLC, also tribally owned and ISBEE-certified. The company's 8(a) certification runs through May 29, 2033. Steelhead competes across both set-aside (Total Small Business, 8(a) Competitive, 8(a) Sole Source) and full-and-open designations, with no characteristic reliance on any single set-aside category; recent awards split fairly evenly between set-aside and non-set-aside work.

Customer concentration centers on tribal infrastructure and healthcare agencies. The Department of the Interior's Bureau of Indian Affairs accounts for 6 awards with $201.7 million combined potential value (66% of the portfolio by dollars), driven primarily by a $200 million Business Support Services IDIQ awarded March 31, 2023, running through April 2, 2028. The Department of Health and Human Services' Indian Health Service holds 8 awards with $16.8 million combined potential value (5% by dollars), anchored by a $10 million single-award Architect-Engineering IDIQ awarded March 5, 2024, extending through March 4, 2027, under Total Small Business set-aside. The General Services Administration contributes one $84 million Federal Supply Schedule contract awarded June 2, 2025, through June 1, 2030, with seven labor categories spanning from Coordinator ($81.61/hr) through Engineer positions ($224.83/hr) and Project Manager roles ($123–$147/hr), carrying no security-cleared labor. The Department of Justice, Office for Victims of Crime, placed a $2.53 million Competitive 8(a) delivery order on the GSA MAS in September 2026 for construction project management technical assistance. The Department of the Treasury awarded a $2.1 million 8(a) Sole Source definitive contract in September 2026 for Main Treasury building envelope security upgrades with completion through September 2027.

Steelhead's concrete capability portfolio reflects architect-engineering and professional services for tribal healthcare and infrastructure projects. Representative work under the IHS $10 million A-E IDIQ includes a $2.76 million emergency department expansion design for Rosebud Hospital (awarded September 2024, performing through September 2026), a $1.64 million HVAC engineering services contract for Browning (September 2024, through October 2027), a $1.73 million water and mold damage repair design for Crow Hospital (January 2025, through July 2027), a $288,080 dental and optometry addition for Fort Thompson Health Center (January 2025, through April 2027), and smaller engineering-review delivery orders for structural, electrical, and specialty systems work. Under the $200 million Bureau of Indian Affairs Business Support Services IDIQ, Steelhead issues delivery orders for program management, housing program analyst support, administrative staffing, and financial management support; recent task orders include a $447,532 housing program analyst position (issued February 2026, through February 2030), a $402,561 PMO support order for the Office of the Chief Financial Officer (September 2023, through April 2025), and smaller infrastructure asset and facility maintenance support orders across the Bureau.

Activity has remained steady at four to five awards per year over the past four years. Five awards with combined potential value $5.8 million reach ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months and face recompete in that window. The vendor holds a 100% prime posture — all 18 awards are prime contracts or IDIQs with zero subcontractor roles. SCI-reported invoiced revenue across federal service contracts above the $150,000 threshold reached $898 thousand in FY2025 delivered by roughly 1.3 FTEs, with median government-paid rates around $158/hr across predominantly project-management and technical-specialist roles and senior labor pricing through $274.75/hr. The vendor reports 15 named subcontractors across SCI records but shows 0% average sub-hours share on its prime contracts, indicating subcontractor names appear in SCI records without material labor contribution. Place of performance spans Kalamazoo and Dowagiac, Michigan (administrative headquarters), with field work at tribal healthcare facilities nationwide (South Dakota, Montana, New Mexico), federal offices in Washington D.C. and Herndon, Virginia, and Santa Fe, New Mexico for National Park Service travel-planning support.
