Contracting Solutions
As your strategic partner in agile procurement, Cherokee Federal offers a complete continuum of contracting vehicles to deliver rapid, cost-effective solutions tailored to your mission.
At Cherokee Federal, contracting is more than compliance, it is a mission advantage. Through our team of Tribal 8(a) eligible LLCs, we offer a sole-source procurement method that bypasses traditional barriers, enabling agencies to move quickly, maximize resources and deliver results. Unlike conventional 8(a) contracts, there is no dollar threshold limitation on sole-source awards to tribally owned 8(a) firms (13 CFR 124.506). This means federal customers can secure the services they need swiftly, efficiently and with confidence.
The Cherokee Advantage
Flexible award ceilings: Civilian agencies can award up to $30M and DoD agencies up to $150M without Justification and Approval (J&A). With a valid J&A, awards are unlimited.
Protest-proof process: Direct awards to Tribal 8(a) firms cannot be protested, ensuring disruption-free procurement.
Speed and efficiency: Accelerated timelines allow contracts to be awarded in weeks, meeting critical mission needs.
Transparent negotiations: Agencies work directly with qualified firms, aligning cost and performance in real time.
Teaming and collaboration: Our family of companies combines expertise across multiple fields, creating tailored, innovative solutions that drive mission success.
Cherokee Federal combines the agility of a small business with the scale and resources of a large enterprise. This unique position allows us to streamline acquisition while ensuring federal customers have a trusted, knowledgeable and experienced partner at their side.
