Solutions

Unalakleet Investments, LLC offers strategic contracting advantages through its unique status as an Alaska Native Corporation (ANC)-owned, SBA 8(a) Certified Small Disadvantaged Business. These advantages allow federal agencies and prime contractors to meet mission-critical needs with greater flexibility, speed, and value.


Contracting Benefits

  • Sole Source Awards Up to $20M (or higher)
    Unalakleet can receive sole source contracts without a dollar threshold limitation, especially under DoD authority. These awards are not subject to protest, streamlining acquisition and minimizing risk.

  • Lower Indirect Costs = Greater Value
    Our lean structure enables us to offer cost-effective solutions that maximize government spending power.

  • Indian Incentive Program (IIP)
    Prime contractors working with Unalakleet Investments are eligible for a 5% rebate through this Congressionally sponsored program.

  • Economically Disadvantaged Status (EDS)
    As an ANC owned by the Village of Unalakleet, Alaska, Unalakleet Investments is automatically considered economically disadvantaged under:

    • 13 C.F.R. § 124.109(a)(2)

    • 43 U.S.C. § 1626(e)

    No further economic qualification is required for 8(a) benefits.

Special Rights Under the A-76 Program:

The A-76 process imposes lengthy review procedures (averaging 23 months) for outsourcing government jobs involving 10+ civilian employees. However, federal agencies can bypass this process by directly awarding the contract to an ANC 8(a) firm like Unalakleet Investments—making us a preferred partner for efficient transitions and privatization efforts.


Regulatory Protections and Unique ANC Authority

  • No Sole Source Dollar Cap – 13 C.F.R. § 124.506(b)
    SBA may award sole source 8(a) contracts of any size to ANC-owned firms without requiring a competitive justification.

  • Immunity from Protest – 13 C.F.R. § 124.517(a)
    The eligibility of ANC-owned 8(a) firms for sole source or competitive awards cannot be challenged by other firms or participants in any administrative forum.


Corporate Structure

Unalakleet Investments, LLC is the federal contracting division of Unalakleet Native Corporation (UNC), the Alaska Native Village Corporation of Unalakleet, Alaska.
