The JV is participating in the U.S. Small Business Administration’s (SBA) Mentor-Protégé Program, under which the JV is qualified to bid on and perform certain set-aside contracts.

The SBA Mentor-Protégé program is a very effective means for C&W Services to support ALMS with the deep resources in innovation, subject-matter expertise and employee development that we have as a 65-year-old, business. We also look forward to helping ALMS grow in the private sector, where C&W Services’ blue-chip client roster of corporations, universities and public venues are highly supportive of supplier diversity.”

(Afognak), which wholly owns ALMS’ parent company, Alutiiq. “The SBA Mentor-Protégé program provides outstanding mutual benefit to the participants and federal government.

As an Alaska Native company, we are always striving to provide the best possible service for our customers to benefit our Alaska Native shareholders.”
