What Tsay Corporation does

Tsay Corporation, operating through its Tsay Federal Contracting Group, is a 100% Native American, tribally-owned federal government contractor established in 1994 and owned by the Ohkay Owingeh Pueblo Tribe of Northern New Mexico. The company provides comprehensive facility support services—including base operations, facility maintenance, construction, custodial and grounds maintenance, professional services, and contingent labor/staff augmentation—to U.S. Department of Defense installations (Fort Leonard Wood, Fort Stewart/Hunter Army Airfield, Fort Buchanan) and Department of Energy/National Nuclear Security Administration facilities (Los Alamos National Laboratory, Sandia National Laboratories, NNSA Nevada Field Office). Service delivery is structured across four wholly-owned subsidiaries (Tsay Services Inc., Tsay Professional Services Inc., Tsay Federal Contracting Services LLC, and Tsay Construction & Services LLC) and three joint ventures (Pueblo Alliance with San Ildefonso Services, N2MIS with Centerra Group, and Tsay/Ferguson-Williams entities).

The company's revenue model is built on multi-year federal contracts awarded through competitive bidding, small business set-asides, and negotiated sole-source awards under SBA 8(a), Tribal 8(a) SDB, and HUBZone certification programs. Contract types include firm fixed price, cost-plus award fee, and cost-plus fixed fee arrangements, with individual contract values ranging from approximately $200,000 to $592 million. Go-to-market is exclusively enterprise federal field sales via direct contracting with government procurement offices and prime contractor subcontracting (notably with Triad LLC at LANL and Performance Maintenance Inc.). Pricing is not publicly disclosed, as contract values are determined through federal procurement processes.

The business relies on no proprietary technology platform; competitive differentiation stems from regulatory certifications (8(a), HUBZone, Tribal SDB), tribal ownership enabling local workforce development (including Q-Cleared personnel for secure nuclear facilities), 25+ years of past performance credentials, and joint venture structures that expand access to large prime contracts. The company holds no patents, has no app or software product, and operates across at least seven U.S. states with an estimated workforce of 3,500+ personnel.
