Our Purpose
Tuyan is a Tribal 8(a) company forged in partnership between Ninilchik Tribe and CITC Enterprises, Inc. (CEI). As an SBA 8(a) certified company, Tuyan is built to execute complex government contracting opportunities professionally and efficiently. With decades of experience in 8(a) contracting, Tuyan’s leadership team can manage projects of any size, scope, or budget, working to align resources with goals at every stage to ensure dependable, high-quality results.
But Tuyan’s purpose goes beyond just profits. When you partner with Tuyan, you are supporting Tribal programs and services that help Alaska Native people reach their endless potential. Through a unique structure that links Ninilchik Tribe, CEI, and Anchorage-based Cook Inlet Tribal Council (CITC), a portion of Tuyan’s profits are reinvested into its community through a series of integrated services that support workforce development, youth education, addiction and recovery, and family services.
At its core, Tuyan is a modern 8(a) contracting company built upon a foundation of Alaska Native values, tradition, and culture.
