2022 National 8(a) Association Native/Tribal Business Of The Year Finalist

8(a) ANC Directed Award

Alaska Native Corporation 8(a) certified companies have vast sole source capabilities with the Government through current contracting regulations. Through the Small Business Administration, the Government may request to negotiate with TMS for sole source acquisitions up to $100 million dollars (FAR 19.808-1) without an agency justification. This process virtually guarantees the Government the ability to streamline the acquisition negotiations for a fair and reasonable price, thereby accelerating the award process and building a partnering relationship that will be successful far into the future for both the Government and TMS.

Benefits of a Sole Source Contract are:

  • Cannot be Protested

  • Significantly Saves on Procurement Costs

  • Shortens Procurement Cycle

  • Negotiated SOW

  • Negotiated Price

  • Allows for Creativity

  • Sets the Foundation for Partnering

  • Uninterrupted Operations

  • Improves Performance & Quality

  • Lowers Program Risk

Sole Source Regulations:

  • 13 CFR 124.506(b) states that Indian tribal 8(a)s are exempt from competitive thresholds of $4 million for all service contracts and $7 million for manufacturing contracts.

  • FAR 19.805-1(b)(2) SBA accepts requirement on behalf of concern owned by an Indian tribe or an Alaska Native Corporation.

  • 13 CFR 124.517(a) Award cannot be protested.

As an 8(a) certified ANC, TMS offers streamlined sole source procurement for Federal Civilian, DoD, Military Departments, and Intelligence Community Agencies, enhancing performance and flexibility to meet small business goals.

We provide personalized service to meet diverse client needs. Key benefits of sole sourcing with TMS include:

  • Accelerated Procurement Timeline: Completed in weeks, not months.

  • Flexibility and Reliability: Direct negotiations and competitive exemptions.

  • Protest-Protected Procurements: Sole-source opportunities are safeguarded from protest.
