Federal contracting factsJoint ventures, teaming, and mentor-protégé arrangements within our NAICS. Bring the requirement and the capacity; we bring the 8(a) path.
Partner with usMCS's construction roots are in housing built and restored on tribal lands: new homes on the MOWA reservation delivered through subcontractor teams, and the rehabilitation of tribal member homes under a federal- and state-funded housing program. MCS also owns and manages commercial and industrial property in Mount Vernon, including warehouse and yard facilities under long-term lease.
Dates, scope, and references for each project come with the capability statement. Partner past performance is provided separately.
Past performanceBecause MCS is owned by an Indian tribe as defined in 13 CFR 124.3, agencies may award sole-source 8(a) contracts to MCS above the competitive thresholds that apply to individually owned 8(a) firms (13 CFR 124.506(b); FAR 19.805-1).

Recognized by the State of Alabama since 1979. SBA's definition of an Indian tribe (13 CFR 124.3) expressly includes state-recognized tribes, so MCS's tribal 8(a) authority applies in full.
How eligibility works
MCS was formed in 2010 to create economic opportunity for tribal members and to return its earnings to the tribe's housing, education, and economic-development programs. When you contract with MCS, the mission is built in.
Headquartered on the Gulf Coast in Mount Vernon, Alabama, and available to federal agencies nationwide through the 8(a) program.
