What Tepa Companies does

Tepa Companies is a privately held, 100% tribally owned holding company of the Paskenta Band of Nomlaki Indians that operates as a federal-construction prime contractor through 20+ wholly owned subsidiaries organized into four divisions: Construction, Engineering & Environment, Industrial, and Technology. The Construction division provides design-build and design-bid-build delivery for military installations, federal buildings, and tribal infrastructure, including SCIF-compliant and secure environments. The Engineering & Environment division delivers environmental remediation, PFAS investigation and treatment, Military Munitions Response Program (MMRP) cleanup, cultural and natural resources management, planning, and master planning. The Industrial division covers storage tank services, mechanical work, coatings and linings, electrical and instrumentation, plus energy and industrial construction including solar, microgrids, and energy storage. The Technology division offers GIS consulting, enterprise architecture, IT governance, geospatial intelligence, reality capture, digital twin development, and the proprietary Enesgy® software product (including Enesgy® Lease Manager and Enesgy® Documents) that integrates GIS mapping with SharePoint document management, as well as the PFAS Geospatial Database developed for the Department of Defense.

The company generates revenue through project-based federal contracts (prime and subcontract), professional services engagements, and subscription/recurring software licensing for Enesgy®. Its go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting federal agencies — chiefly the Department of Defense, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, U.S. Air Force, National Park Service, Bureau of Indian Affairs, EPA, and Department of the Interior — via direct contracting and the SBA 8(a) Business Development Program's sole-source thresholds ($25M civilian, $100M DoD). Revenue also flows from tribal and select state/local government clients. The company holds CMMC Level 2, 8(a), ISBEE, and SDB certifications, Esri Gold Partner status, and reports 2,250+ completed projects, 350 current projects, 535+ employees, and 12 U.S. offices. Revenue and other financial metrics are not publicly disclosed; the company characterizes cumulative project value as "hundreds of millions of dollars," and all revenue is reinvested into the tribal owner and its communities through the holding structure.

Direct peers

• Akima: Subsidiary of NANA Regional Corporation (an Alaska Native Corporation), Akima delivers federal facility operations, logistics, construction, IT, and environmental services across DoD and civilian agencies — directly comparable to Tepa's service lines and tribal-ownership contracting model.
• Chenega Corporation: Alaska Native Corporation–owned federal services holding company operating a diversified portfolio of subsidiaries across defense, intelligence, environmental, IT, and construction — the closest structural analog to Tepa's tribal-owned federal contractor model.
• NV5 Global: Mid-sized federal infrastructure, environmental, and geospatial services firm with comparable size and federal/government exposure to Tepa's engineering and technology divisions; competes for similar federal geospatial and environmental task orders.
• Caliburn Systems (Caliburn): Tribally owned federal services contractor providing construction, environmental, and operational support to DoD and federal civilian agencies, comparable to Tepa's mix of construction, environmental remediation, and government-only customer base.
• Bristol Bay Native Corporation: Alaska Native Corporation holding company with federal services subsidiaries in construction, environmental, facilities management, and government contracting — directly comparable to Tepa's tribal-owned holding-company model.
• Koniag: Alaska Native Corporation holding company with federal services subsidiaries spanning construction, facilities management, environmental services, and IT — similar tribal-ownership holding-company structure serving federal clients.

Broad incumbents

• Tetra Tech: Large publicly traded federal environmental engineering and consulting firm that competes with Tepa's Engineering & Environment division (especially PFAS, MMRP, and remediation work) while also serving water, energy, and international clients.
• Leidos: Major federal services prime with deep DoD exposure across IT, engineering, environmental, and mission solutions; competes for the same agencies and task orders as Tepa while operating at significantly greater scale.
• Jacobs Solutions: Large professional services and construction firm with substantial federal environmental, critical infrastructure, and advanced-facilities practices; competes with Tepa across construction and environmental services.
• AECOM: Global engineering and construction firm with a large federal services business (design-build, environmental, infrastructure) that competes with Tepa on USACE, DoD, and civilian agency work as a broad incumbent.
