Alaska Native Corporation (ANC) owned firms have been granted special
contracting opportunities under the FAR for government contracts in
general and for DoD contracts in particular. These special contracting
provisions include no-limit sole source 8(a) contracts, expedited
A-76 authority, and 5% bonus for DoD contractors that subcontract
with Native American-owned firms.
Tribal and ANC 8(a) firms are eligible to receive sole source 8(a)
contracts
regardless of dollar size, with no upper limit, while all other
8(a) firms may
not receive sole source contracts in excess of $3 million for services
and
$5 million for manufacturing.
Language in the Defense Appropriations Act provides that a command
does not have to go through the A-76 process but may do a direct
conversion of that function to a private contractor, regardless
of the
number of civilian employees, if the command contracts with a firm
that is
51% or more Native American owned, so long as the conversion is
cost
effective.
Pursuant to statutory language and implementing regulations, a DoD
contractor that subcontracts with a firm that is 51% or more Native
American owned is entitled to receive a bonus equal to 5% of the
amount of
the subcontract award.
