WORKING with an american indian tribal (ait)

As a 100% tribally owned small business of the Forest County Potawatomi Tribe of Wisconsin, U.S. Federal Government agencies greatly benefit from Command Cyber Solutions’ enterprise status. We’re an SBA 8(a) HUBZone certified Small Disadvantaged Business, and can receive sole source contracts in excess of $4.5 million. 

Without solicitation protests getting in the way, not only is the success of the contract guaranteed, but it is also moved through the bidding process quickly and efficiently. This acquisition strategy saves your agency time and money so you won’t have to experience gaps in operational capacity. It’s all part of how our small business leaders work to advance your agency’s mission.
