THE NATIVE PROJECT

THE NATIVE PROJECT specializes in delivering culturally competent, community-based health services to Urban Indian populations under the Department of Health and Human Services. Their core capabilities center on the design and operational support of ambulatory health care programs tailored to Native American communities, including the coordination of mobile health outreach, patient navigation, and travel reimbursement systems that ensure access to essential medical services. They possess deep expertise in tribal health program administration, federal grant compliance under the Indian Health Service framework, and the integration of culturally appropriate care models into federally funded ambulatory settings. Their differentiation lies in their localized presence in Spokane, Washington, enabling direct engagement with Tribal partners and sustained trust-based service delivery that aligns with Native sovereignty principles. The contractor maintains a consistent relationship with the Department of Health and Human Services, primarily supporting programs under the Indian Health Service’s Urban Indian Health Program. Their work involves implementing federally mandated health access initiatives, managing logistical support for patient travel, and ensuring compliance with Title 25 and 42 CFR regulations governing tribal health funding. This long-standing partnership reflects a trusted role in sustaining critical health infrastructure for underserved Native populations. Their primary industry focus is on Miscellaneous Ambulatory Health Care Services (NAICS 621999), which in practice means operating non-clinical but mission-critical support systems that enable tribal health delivery—such as transportation coordination, provider network management, and culturally tailored outreach. They position themselves as a niche provider bridging federal health funding with on-the-ground Native community needs. As an 8H-certified entity based in Spokane, Washington, THE NATIVE PROJECT operates as a small, locally rooted organization with deep ties to Indigenous communities. While lacking formal federal certifications beyond their entity structure, their authority stems from direct operational experience in federally funded tribal health programs and a proven ability to execute complex, community-centered health initiatives under HHS oversight.
