Rapid Acquisition Contracting: How Cherokee Federal Helps You Move Faster
Federal procurement can often feel slow and complicated, especially when tight deadlines and urgent missions are involved. Cherokee Federal understands these challenges and offers rapid acquisition contracting solutions designed to streamline the process and deliver results quickly.
One of our standout options is the Tribal 8(a) sole-source program, a unique contracting pathway that provides government agencies with unmatched flexibility and speed, without the usual dollar limits slowing things down.
Here’s the advantage: Tribal 8(a) sole-source awards allow agencies to select their contractor of choice without lengthy competitive bidding. Civilian agencies can make direct awards up to $25 million without additional justification, and DoD agencies can go up to $100 million.
Need even more flexibility? With the proper approvals, there’s no ceiling at all. Plus, these awards cannot be protested, which means fewer delays and more certainty for your mission-critical contracts.
Cherokee Federal’s capabilities go beyond Tribal 8(a). We offer a wide range of contracting vehicles, including GSA Schedules like OASIS+, IDIQs and BPAs, to fit the unique needs of your mission.
Whether you’re dealing with last-minute budget obligations or a high volume of urgent requirements, we have the experience and resources to support you across all 50 states and more than 20 countries.
Wondering how the Tribal 8(a) sole-source award process works? We’ve streamlined into seven clear steps and, that on average, takes 30 days from start to finish:
Step 1: Define the Requirement
Step 2: Select the 8(a) Firm
Step 3: Secure Funding
Step 4: Submit to SBA
Step 5: SBA Acceptance
Step 6: Proposal & Negotiation
Step 7: Finalize & Award
