Indian Incentive Program (includes Alaskans and Hawaiians)

The Air Force Indian Incentive Program seeks to be an economic engine for Indian-owned small businesses. This program seeks ways to boost Indian economic development and to encourage the Air Force's commands to use Indian-owned small businesses in meeting their mission requirements. The Department of Defense (DoD) has directed that prime contractors, who use Indian organizations and/or Indian-owned economic enterprises, shall be entitled to a 5 percent rebate when they subcontract work to an Indian organization and/or subcontract commercial products manufactured in whole or in part by an Indian organization.

Eligibility Criteria

If you are interested in participating in the Indian Incentive Program, we encourage you to thoroughly research the DoD Web site and learn about the program.
