What Keta Group does

Keta Group, LLC is a Tribally-owned holding company founded in 2003 by the Chitimacha Tribe of Louisiana and headquartered at 345 Highlandia Dr., Baton Rouge. Through eight wholly-owned subsidiaries — including Tiya Support Services, Colorado Professional Resources, Keta Environmental and Infrastructure, Tiya Services, Keta International, Keta Hospitality, Keta Solutions, and Tiya Solutions — the company delivers a diversified portfolio of government-facing services: facility management, construction, engineering and technical support, information technology, space and defense engineering, disaster recovery and planning, mass feeding and emergency food services, life support, logistics, claims administration, litigation support, and administrative staffing.

Its technology stack is operational rather than productized: computerized and automated facilities-management systems; managed-service-provider IT capabilities (cloud, helpdesk, remote support, network infrastructure, vendor management); specialized legal-management software (Clio, Needles, Abacus, Amicus, plus custom claims-processing tools); and modular construction logistics including flat-pack shipping of internationally deployed office units. There is no public API, no AI/ML capability, and no SaaS product surface; the company is fundamentally a labor- and logistics-delivery organization.

Revenue is generated almost entirely through U.S. federal contracts awarded via competitive bidding, including SBA 8(a) set-asides, HUBZone contracts, FEMA IA-TAC, and Air Force Contractor Augmentation Program (AFCAP) vehicles. Customers are concentrated in the Department of Defense (U.S. Army, U.S. Air Force, Naval Research Laboratory, USASMDC), the Department of State, FEMA, and select state agencies (Louisiana/GOHSEP), with the Deepwater Horizon Settlement Program and American Red Cross as notable non-DoD engagements. Major contract anchors include the $498 million Fort Benning BASOPS predecessor (2010-2019) and the $180 million CPASC contract supporting Air Force satellite command and control — collectively implying an annual revenue scale in the low-to-mid hundreds of millions of dollars against a workforce of more than 1,000 employees and associates.

Direct peers

• Cherokee Nation Businesses: Tribally-owned holding company with federal contracting, defense, IT, hospitality and construction subsidiaries under one corporate umbrella; mirrors Keta's diversified tribal enterprise with set-aside eligibility across SBA programs.
• Ho-Chunk, Inc. Tribally-owned federal contractor providing facility management, construction, IT and logistics to DoD and civilian agencies; alternative peer within the same tribal small-business set-aside ecosystem as Keta.
• Caliburn (formerly SOS International): Mid-tier federal contractor providing base operations, construction, life-support and disaster response services across austere environments — overlaps Keta's disaster recovery/life-support business and international federal delivery.
• Akima: Alaska Native Corporation-owned holding company operating a federated portfolio of federal services subsidiaries spanning facility management, IT, construction, logistics and disaster response — structurally and operationally the closest comparable to Keta Group's tribal holding-company model.
• Vectrus: Pure-play federal services contractor specializing in base operations support, IT services and sustainment for DoD customers worldwide — directly comparable to Keta's BASOPS, IT and engineering workstreams.

Broad incumbents

• Amentum: Large federal services prime formed from AECOM's federal spin and acquisition of PAE, with deep base operations, intelligence, engineering and disaster response capabilities — sets the scale benchmark that Keta competes against on larger recompetes.
• KBR: Established federal services prime providing base operations, logistics, engineering and disaster response; competes for the same DoS/FEMA and DoD task orders Keta pursues but at materially larger scale.
• Booz Allen Hamilton: Major federal advisory and IT services contractor that competes for SMDA2S-style advisory and assistance task orders; sets the incumbent benchmark for the Space and Missile Defense workstream Keta supports via Colorado Professional Resources.
• Fluor Federal Services: Engineering and construction prime with a federal services division serving DoD, DoS and civilian agencies — comparable to Keta's construction, modular design-build and engineering & technical support portfolio.
• Pacific Architects and Engineers (PAE): Federal services contractor (now part of Amentum) focused on logistics, base operations, and contingency support including humanitarian and disaster response — comparable mission profile to Keta's disaster response/life-support practice.
