Wakaga’s Role in Federal Government Contracting

Leveling the Playing Field for Tribally-Owned Enterprises

Federal contracting presents vast opportunities—but also significant barriers—for small and disadvantaged businesses. Wakaga leverages its tribal status and SBA credentials to help its partner entities secure contracts that support Native self-determination and national economic development goals.

Wakaga is registered in SAM.gov and qualifies under various small business categories, including SBA 8(a), HUBZone, and Indian-Owned Economic Enterprises. These designations allow Wakaga and its subsidiaries to compete for set-aside contracts and receive sole-source awards that non-tribal firms cannot access.

In many cases, Wakaga helps partners enter the government space by forming tribal joint ventures or managing procurement logistics. This gives new entrants a trusted and experienced platform to access millions of dollars in federal opportunities.

Wakaga also provides contract management services. These include project oversight, compliance support, milestone tracking, and reporting—ensuring that partners meet the high standards required by federal agencies. This service helps businesses stay competitive and avoid costly pitfalls.

Moreover, federal agencies are often eager to work with tribally owned firms to meet statutory requirements for Native inclusion. Wakaga’s transparent and professional model gives them a reliable partner while helping them meet federal mandates.

The impact goes beyond dollars. Each contract Wakaga wins helps fund tribal programs in education, energy, and infrastructure. Every successful bid strengthens the case for greater Native participation in national projects.

Whether you’re new to federal contracting or looking to expand your government work, Wakaga provides the tools, reputation, and regulatory framework to succeed. We bring the full power of tribal sovereignty into the contracting space—and invite partners who share our vision.
