Tribally Owned 8(a) & ISBEE Certified Entity
Awalix Construction (AWA) is a tribally owned enterprise proudly certified as an 8(a) Business Development Program participant and an Indian Small Business Economic Enterprise (ISBEE), offering federal contracting officers a strategic partner for mission-critical projects. Rooted in the strength and resilience of its tribal heritage, AWA combines socioeconomic advantages with proven expertise in heavy civil construction, in-water construction, and a wide range of construction-related services. As a self-performing contractor, we deliver end-to-end solutions with exceptional quality, efficiency, and accountability, ensuring federal projects are completed on time and within budget.
Partnering with AWA provides federal agencies with unique procurement benefits under the 8(a) and ISBEE programs. The 8(a) status enables streamlined sole-source contracting up to $7 million for services and $4.5 million for manufacturing, bypassing lengthy competitive bidding processes while fulfilling small business and socioeconomic goals. As an ISBEE, we qualify for set-aside and direct-award opportunities under the Buy Indian Act, offering agencies a compliant, expedited path to award contracts while supporting Native American economic development. These advantages reduce administrative burdens, accelerate project timelines, and align with federal diversity and inclusion mandates.
With a robust portfolio spanning heavy civil projects—such as levees, streambank and stream restoration, drainage, grading, utility, power transmission, fish hatchery services, and site development, AWA brings technical precision and self-performance capabilities to every contract. Our multidisciplinary expertise extends to construction management, environmental remediation, and other federal contracting services, making us a versatile partner for agencies nationwide. Backed by a skilled workforce and a commitment to safety, innovation, and sustainability, we deliver reliable outcomes that meet the highest federal standards.
Choosing AWA means investing in a trusted tribal entity that not only drives project success but also advances economic growth in Native communities. Our dual 8(a) and ISBEE certifications amplify the value we bring to federal contracting officers, offering a rare combination of procurement flexibility, operational excellence, and social impact.
