TRIBAL SBA 8(a) SOLE SOURCE
ACQUISITION ADVANTAGES
Streamlined Process
Awards can begin with a basic Statement of Work (SOW). As a Tribal 8(a), Kahtnu's eligibility cannot be challenged, ensuring a smooth and uninterrupted path to award.
Non-Protestable
Kahtnu's Tribal 8(a) status allows for sole source awards that are exempt from protest, providing a secure, efficient procurement path for urgent and emerging requirements.
$30M / $150M Awards Without J&A
Under 13 CFR 124.506(b), Contracting Officers may award contracts up to $30M for civilian agencies and $150M for DoW without justification. Higher thresholds are available with J&A approval.
Fast Processing Time
Sole source awards to Kahtnu subsidiaries can be processed in weeks instead of months, dramatically accelerating procurement timelines—ideal for time-sensitive programs.
