WHY CHOOSE A NATIVE AMERICAN CORPORATION?

Stealth is uniquely positioned as a small business capable of bringing high quality, timely, and cost-effective products and services to the U.S. Federal Procurements. As an as SBA 8(a), 100% Native American/Tribally-Owned Corporation, Stealth is exempt from competitive thresholds and able to receive a sole source award up to $20M without Justification and Authorization. Also, contracts sole-sourced to Tribally Owned 8(a) companies cannot be protested.

This acquisition strategy can save the government and Stealth time and ultimately money with little to no gap in an operational capacity. It also allows the Federal Government the confidence that a particular solicitation won't be delayed due to award protests.
