Choosing to work with Tribal and Native American SBA recognized firms, like Aquila Rey, provides numerous benefits for state and federal contracting offices. These advantages streamline the procurement process, enhance compliance with federal regulations, and support broader socioeconomic goals. Key benefits include:
Contracting with Tribal/Native American firms like us allows prime contractors to receive small and SDB credit. According to FAR Subpart 19.703, subcontracting work to these firms helps meet federal subcontracting goals and promotes diversity in the supply chain.
Aquila Rey is certified under the Buy Indian Act (25 U.S.C. 47), allowing us to participate in procurement set asides designated by the Department of the Interior. Buy Indian regulations are detailed in the Department of Interior Acquisition Regulations (DIAR) part 1480. This certification enables contracting officers to meet specific procurement goals and support Native American enterprises.
Working with Tribal/ firms supports the economic development of Native American communities, fostering job creation and sustainability. This partnership not only helps meet procurement objectives but also contributes to the broader mission of supporting disadvantaged communities.
The U.S. Government has made significant strides to enhance equity and opportunity for Small Disadvantaged Businesses (SDBs), including those in the SBA program. Here are some key directives and initiatives aimed at increasing the use of small and disadvantaged business companies in federal contracting:
EO 13985 directs federal agencies to advance equity and support underserved communities. This order specifically aims to increase contracting opportunities for SDBs by removing barriers and making the procurement process more accessible (The White House).
The Biden Administration has set an ambitious goal to increase the share of federal contracts awarded to SDBs to 15% by 2025, up from the previous statutory goal of 5%. This initiative is expected to channel an additional $100 billion to SDBs over the next five years, significantly boosting their participation in federal contracting (SBA.gov).
The Biden Administration introduced reforms to the federal government’s category management practices to ensure that SDBs have greater access to federal contracts. These changes are designed to promote equity in procurement by increasing opportunities for underserved small businesses (The White House).

New tools, such as the Government-wide Procurement Equity Tool and the Supplier Base Dashboard, have been launched to help federal agencies identify and contract with diverse suppliers. These tools provide valuable data and insights to support agencies in meeting their equity and procurement goals (GSA.gov).
