Federal-ready.
Built for set-asides.
Skilak Consulting is a SAM-registered, Native American-owned, Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) delivering custom software, cloud engineering, and AI systems to federal agencies and the primes that serve them. Small-business credit on paper — senior engineering in practice.
For contracting officers
and small-business specialists
Skilak Consulting helps agencies meet socio-economic goals without compromising on delivery. We qualify for Native American-owned, WOSB, small disadvantaged, and Buy Indian Act (IEE) set-asides today; our SBA 8(a) and EDWOSB applications were submitted in April 2026 and are pending review. Once certified, Skilak will be eligible for 8(a) competed and sole-source awards.
We are deliberately small: every engagement is delivered by senior engineers with a decade of production experience across fintech, health IT, IoT, and government-facing platforms — not layers of program overhead. That makes us a strong fit for micro-purchases, simplified acquisitions, and task orders where agencies need working software quickly.
For primes: we team and subcontract cleanly. You get set-aside credit plus a partner whose code, documentation, and communication hold up under review.
Set-aside eligibility
Socio-economic designations Skilak Consulting qualifies for — verifiable in SAM.gov under UEI T14ZWC2JSTD8.
NAICS codes
Six active codes spanning software development, systems design, hosting, and management consulting. Small business size standard met under every code.
Core capabilities
Custom Software Development & Modernization
Full-lifecycle application development — requirements through sustainment — plus incremental modernization of legacy systems on .NET, Python, and Node, with CI/CD and infrastructure as code.
Cloud & DevSecOps
Architecture, migration, and operations on AWS, Azure, and GCP. Terraform, Kubernetes, automated pipelines, and compliance-minded configurations.
AI & Data Systems
Applied AI with guardrails and evaluation: document search and retrieval (RAG), workflow automation, and on-premises private AI via Skilak Spool for environments where data cannot leave the network.
IoT & Sensor Platforms
Secure device connectivity, telemetry ingestion, real-time dashboards, and alerting on Azure IoT — for facilities, fleets, and field equipment.
Technical Project & Program Management
Delivery management from regulated, high-stakes work — including renewable-energy development, land leases, and permitting in Alaska. Stakeholder and agency coordination that keeps approvals moving.
Three ways to work with us
Prime Contractor
WOSB and small-business set-asides, Buy Indian Act (IEE) set-asides, micro-purchases, and simplified acquisitions. Set-aside authority gives contracting officers fast, protest-resistant paths to award — and our low overhead means fast mobilization once they do.
Subcontractor / Teaming
A dependable small-business partner for primes who need socio-economic credit plus genuine senior delivery capacity. Skilak counts toward small business, WOSB, Native American-owned, and minority-owned subcontracting goals — and we scope cleanly, deliver on time, and make your past performance look good.
Corp-to-Corp
Senior engineering capacity on existing vehicles and staffing arrangements — direct, W2-free, and immediately productive.
Buy Indian Act eligibility (IEE / ISBEE)
As a Native American-owned firm, Skilak Consulting qualifies as an Indian Economic Enterprise (IEE) under the Buy Indian Act. For contracting officers at the Bureau of Indian Affairs, Indian Health Service, and other DOI/HHS components applying Buy Indian preferences, that means Skilak can be considered under IEE and ISBEE set-asides — a dramatically smaller bidder pool than open NAICS 541511 competition.
We self-certify IEE/ISBEE status with each solicitation as required, and our capabilities — custom software development, legacy system modernization, cloud migration, and on-premises AI — map directly to the IT modernization needs BIA, BIE, and IHS programs are actively procuring.
Private AI inside your boundary
Through Skilak Spool, our on-premises private AI appliance, agencies and defense primes can run local language models and governed document search entirely inside their own network boundary — no public cloud tenancy, air-gap capable, designed to operate within CMMC, NIST 800-171, HIPAA, and ITAR environments. A capability no other small Native-owned IT firm currently offers.
