Native System Inc. (dba
RedWind Group, Inc.) was certified June 10, 2002.
Special Rights Under the SBA 8(a) Program.
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 (Individual Indian Owned). Congress provided this opportunity
because it recognized that tribes and ANCs have the large responsibility
of trying to pull their entire tribal membership up from poverty and
need larger contracts to be able to do so.

The 5% Subcontracting
Bonus
Pursuant to statutory language and implementing regulations, a DOD prime
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. While this provision is theoretically available to
all agencies, Congress has provided appropriations to implement it only
to DOD. Defense Appropriations Act annually provides $8 million for this
program.
