What Keres Consulting does

Keres Consulting, Inc. is a privately-held, Native American-owned general management consulting firm founded in 2001 and headquartered in Albuquerque, New Mexico, with a second office in Alexandria, Virginia. The firm serves federal, state, and tribal government clients across five capability areas: Asset Management & Sustainability Services, Environmental Support Services, Community Health, Tribal Consultation, and Technology. Its customer base spans the U.S. Department of Defense, Department of Energy/NNSA, Department of Homeland Security, FEMA, Indian Health Service, Bureau of Indian Affairs, and New Mexico state agencies, as well as tribal nations including the Pueblo of Acoma, Navajo Nation, and Hopi Tribe. The company is certified as a Small Disadvantaged Business and is a graduate of the SBA 8(a) Business Development Program, holding GSA FABS and MOBIS schedules.

Keres generates revenue primarily through professional services contracts (federal, state, and tribal) with quote-based, non-public pricing negotiated on a per-engagement basis. The firm operates a small product portfolio alongside its consulting practice: the EMAT (Energy Management Assessment Tool), a tablet-to-cloud software platform for ASHRAE Level 2 Energy Audits developed in 2014 in collaboration with a third-party software firm; the Smoke Free Signals program (2015), a state-funded secondhand-smoke protection program for tribal communities; and the No More New Mexico (No More NM) program (2019), a young adult tobacco and nicotine prevention initiative funded by the New Mexico Department of Health. Three wholly-owned operating subsidiaries (Keres Real Estate LLC, NativeVet Materiel LLC, and TJC Construction LLC) extend the SDB/8(a) contracting platform into adjacent federal verticals. The firm is founder-led by Timothy J. Chavez (Pueblo of Acoma) and reported $4.5M in New Mexico-sourced revenue in 2020.
