Tyonek Native Corporation

What Tyonek Native Corporation does

Tyonek Native Corporation (TNC) is a privately held Alaska Native Corporation formed in 1973 under the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act of 1971, owned by approximately 950–1,000 Alaska Native shareholders from the Tebughna people of the Native Village of Tyonek. Headquartered in Anchorage, Alaska, the company operates as a diversified parent of 15+ wholly owned subsidiaries organized into four markets: Manufacturing, Services, Construction, and Mission Support. It employs more than 1,300 artisans, technicians, and aviation professionals across 25 locations in 16 states, with more than 50% of the workforce composed of U.S. military veterans.

The company's core operational capabilities are in aerospace and defense manufacturing and aircraft maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO). Tyonek Manufacturing Group operates 210,000 sq ft of AS9100 Rev D- and ISO 9001:2015-certified fabrication, CNC machining, and assembly capacity across Madison, AL, Huntsville, AL, and Warner Robins, GA, serving as a Tier-1/Tier-2 supplier to BAE Systems, Lockheed Martin (Supplier Elite), and Sikorsky (Gold Supplier, Black Hawk Programs Supplier of the Year). Tyonek Services Group operates two FAA Part 145-certified Repair Stations covering 245,000 sq ft at Huntsville International Airport and Stennis International Airport in Kiln, MS, capable of inducting aircraft up to C-130 size across 5 C-130 and 36 UH-60 equivalent bays. Through Tyonek Technical Services the company also provides DoD cyber operations support (OCO/DCO), special operations mission support, IT services, and training, with a GSA 8(a) STARS III GWAC prime vehicle via the Aircraft Services Alliance joint venture with Zenetex.

Revenue is generated almost entirely through federal contracting — IDIQ contracts, sole-source 8(a) awards, and competitive procurement — to U.S. Government customers (DoD, Coast Guard, Air Force, USSOCOM, CBP, USDA) and defense primes. The company's ANC 8(a) status enables sole-source contract awards regardless of dollar size (DoD sole-source awards up to $100M exempt from FAR Part 6 justification and not protestable), which is the central competitive moat. Ancillary revenue streams include Alaska construction, land management of 200,000+ acres conveyed under ANCSA, oil & gas/mining support, and Tyonek Lodge operations.
