Welcome to NACA

The Native American Contractors Association (NACA) was formed in 2003 to promote the common interests of our members – Tribally-owned corporations, Alaska Native Corporations (ANC), and Native Hawaiian Organizations (NHO). 

We promote the benefits of using Native-owned firms with high quality products and services in the federal government marketplace and protect the SBA’s Native 8(a) program. Guided by an elected Board of Directors, our members deliberate on issues at NACA’s annual meeting and present their tribal and company perspective to reach a shared, actionable consensus.

NACA monitors federal economic and business development policy and utilizes our member driven perspective to advocate successfully on their behalf.

Self-Sufficiency is the Key

NACA is working to enhance the economic self-sufficiency of America’s indigenous people.  We are working to create a brighter future for Indian tribes and Alaska Natives and Native Hawaiian Organizations – tribes whose members are among the poorest and most under-employed in America. NACA strives to create opportunities for Native Americans to become economically self-sufficient by enabling them to compete more effectively in the marketplace for government contracts.

Native Business Success Benefits Many

Unlike other American small businesses where profits generally go to one individual or one family, the profits from Native enterprises are shared by hundreds – and sometimes even thousands – of tribal members.

The profits earned by Native enterprises provide dividends, job training programs, scholarships, healthcare clinics, social service programs and cultural programs for their communities. They are an essential component needed to create a vibrant, healthy economy in some of the poorest regions in the country where unemployment and poverty rates are often staggering.
