Discover the advantages of partnering with an Indian Small Business Economic Enterprise (ISBEE), including access to set-aside contracts, streamlined partnerships, and cultural alignment with tribal and federal missions.
ISBEE stands for Indian Small Business Economic Enterprise — a designation for businesses that are majority-owned by members of federally recognized Native American tribes. The federal government, through the Buy Indian Act, sets aside specific contracts for ISBEE-certified vendors as a way to promote tribal economic development.
When you work with an ISBEE vendor, you’re not only engaging a qualified small business, but you’re also supporting Native self-determination, sovereignty, and economic inclusion. It reflects a commitment to working with historically underrepresented communities and advancing tribal interests.
For federal agencies, partnering with ISBEEs can simplify procurement through limited competition awards. For subcontractors, teaming with an ISBEE-certified prime opens doors to opportunities they might not otherwise access alone.
At Firm Mission LLC, our ISBEE certification enables us to serve as a reliable vendor and broker for federal agencies, while offering subcontractors a trusted path into government contracting. It’s about making compliance easier, relationships stronger, and the process more efficient for everyone involved.
