Cherokee Services Group, a division of Cherokee Nation Businesses, was named as a winner of the GSA’s 8(a) Streamlined Technology Acquisition Resource for Services (STARS II) Government Wide Acquisition Contract (GWAC). The program allows federal agencies to direct task orders to small, disadvantaged businesses that have been pre-screened by the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA).

This marks CSG’s second GWAC under the STARS program. Out of 795 certified 8(a) businesses named in the GSA’s first STARS program, CSG ended the seven-year program ranked twelfth in total revenue.

“We already hold multiple STARS contracts with various federal agencies, so we’re extremely proud to have been chosen for the STARS II contract. It speaks volumes about the reputation of our employees and their commitment to quality,” said Steven Bilby, CEO of CSG. “Our goal is to provide superior technology solutions to all of our clients.”

As part of the 8(a) STARS II program, CSG will be considered a preferred business to receive task orders from any government agency in a more streamlined fashion, shortening procurement lead times for pre-negotiated rates, increasing efficiency.

“We have a tremendously talented workforce that is skilled and efficient in IT solutions, prepared to handle task orders at a moment’s notice,” Bilby said. “Perhaps more importantly, we have gained experience and the respect of our clients under the STARS program. CSG’s success with STARS should appeal to federal government agencies looking for a proven technology contractor through an aggressively pre-competed contract vehicle, in a way that satisfies small business 8(a) objectives.”
