Cherokee Federal

Cherokee Federal is a division of Cherokee Nation Businesses and a tribal-owned federal contractor, founded in 2019 and headquartered in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The company employs more than 5,000 professionals and supplies services to over 60 federal agencies worldwide, with regional offices across the United States. It is ranked among the top 100 federal contractors.

Its operations span logistics, manufacturing, advanced technology, health services, intelligence analysis, defense technology and program management. For technicians and tradespeople, the most directly relevant of these are the logistics and manufacturing arms, which provide logistics support and manufacturing services for federal missions; the wider portfolio includes technology and program-management work for federal customers.

Cherokee Federal describes itself as a tribal-owned enterprise that draws on a Cherokee Nation sovereign advantage and an emphasis on agility, with decades of combined experience across defence, technology, health and intelligence sectors. The company operates under a dual mission: serving United States federal priorities while generating profits for Cherokee Nation citizens, which fund healthcare, education and housing programmes.
