Bearskin Services can receive Sole Source Award: Under 13 CFR 124.506(b), the Small Business Administration may award sole source federal contracts to tribally-owned, certified 8(a) companies without regard to contract value. This CFR provision exempts contracts to 8(a) companies owned by Indian or Alaska Native tribes from the competitive dollar limit thresholds of other 8(a) contracts; therefore, Bearskin is not subject to $4M cap on sole source awards.

Direct awards made to Bearskin Services cannot be protested: Per 13CFR124.517(a), sole source awards made to Indian owned 8(a) firms cannot be protested.

Prime Contractors are eligible to receive SDB credit for subcontracting to Bearskin Services: Per 48 CFR 19.703(c)(1), Subcontracts awarded to an Indian tribe can be counted towards the prime contractor’s goal for subcontracting with SDB and small business concerns, regardless of the Indian Tribe’s size or SBA certification status. The credit may be taken where the Indian is no longer small under SBA regulations.

Prime Contractors are eligible to participate in the 5% incentive program when subcontracting to Bearskin Services: Section 504 of the Indian Finance Act (25 U.S.C. 1544) provides that a contractor subcontracting with a firm that is 51% or more owned by a Native American individual, Native American tribe, or Alaskan Native Corporation may receive an additional amount of compensation, above the amount of the prime contract, equal to 5% of the amount of the subcontract with the Native American entity.

Bearskin Services can facilitate a direct conversion to a sole source contract: The A-76 program imposes a lengthy and cumbersome procedure for outsourcing or privatizing any activity that employees 10 or more civilian government employees. The average A-76 "study" takes 23 months. One option to avoid this arduous A-76 process is to award the contract to a Native American tribally-owned company. The Defense Appropriations Act includes a provision which allows a direct, cost effective conversion of a non-inherently government function to a tribally-owned company without an A-76 study regardless of the number of civilian government employees. A significant amount of time, effort, and money can be saved by outsourcing directly to a tribally-owned company like Bearskin Services.
