Wakaga Economic Development Group
U.S. Government Contracting
Introduction to Government Contracting
Government contracting is the process by which businesses provide goods and services to federal, state, and local government agencies. This sector represents a massive opportunity, as the U.S. government is the largest buyer of goods and services in the world, awarding billions of dollars in contracts annually. From infrastructure and technology to logistics and professional services, government contracts span a wide range of industries, offering stable and long-term revenue streams for qualified businesses.
At Wakaga, we specialize in securing and executing government contracts that align with our expertise, ensuring that our community and partners benefit from these opportunities. Our approach combines strategic planning, compliance, and execution to successfully fulfill government needs while driving economic growth.
With 30+ years of combined DoD, federal agency, and tribal contracting experience, we’ve earned the trust of:
✔ NASA – AI-driven surveillance integration
✔ Department of the Interior – secure facility protection
✔ DOJ and CBP – access control and threat detection
✔ FEMA – national security systems and compliance audits
✔ USDA – remote facility monitoring and emergency response
✔ GSA – contract compliance, tribal procurement, and secure logistics
✔ BIA – infrastructure hardening and tribal asset protection
✔ USACE – environmental and site safety services
Every guard we train. Every system we deploy. Every mission we protect — is built on lived experience, operational integrity, and Native sovereignty.
Federal contracts are our battlefield. Tribal nations are our force.

How We Do Government Contracting
Wakaga is actively engaged in securing government contracts and grant opportunities to expand our capabilities and create lasting economic impact. We participate in various government procurement programs, including set-aside contracts for tribally owned and disadvantaged businesses.
One of our key initiatives is our participation in the 8(a) Business Development Program, a U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) certification designed to help small, disadvantaged businesses compete in the federal contracting marketplace. This program provides access to exclusive government contracts, specialized business development training, and assistance with forming strategic partnerships.
Wakaga's 8(a) certification extends across our subsidiary companies involved in government contracting, allowing us to deliver a diverse range of services while leveraging the advantages of this program. This designation enables us to streamline the contract acquisition process, participate in sole-source contracts, and establish meaningful relationships with federal agencies.
Government Grants
In addition to contract work, Wakaga actively pursues government grant opportunities that align with our mission and expertise. Government grants provide essential funding for projects that drive innovation, sustainability, and community development. These grants are often focused on initiatives such as:
- Infrastructure development – Improving transportation, utilities, and public facilities.
- Technology and cybersecurity – Advancing IT solutions and security measures for federal agencies.
- Renewable energy – Implementing sustainable energy solutions for government and tribal projects.
- Workforce training – Creating programs that equip individuals with the skills needed for government-related jobs.
- Healthcare initiatives – Enhancing healthcare access and services through government-supported programs.
By leveraging grant funding, we expand our ability to develop new projects, support workforce training, and contribute to broader economic and community growth.
Partnerships
At Wakaga, we recognize that successful government contracting requires strong partnerships. We collaborate with non-tribal companies to carry out government contracts that take place off-reservation, ensuring that projects are completed efficiently and to the highest standards. These partnerships enable us to extend our reach, access specialized expertise, and scale our operations while maintaining compliance with federal regulations.
We are actively seeking new partners who share our commitment to excellence and innovation. By working together, we create mutually beneficial relationships that allow businesses to expand their capabilities in the government sector while contributing to Wakaga’s mission of economic self-sufficiency and tribal development.
