Mentor-Protégé Program
This program provides reimbursement to DoD prime contractors who would like to transfer technology and/or train a small disadvantaged business in a new process or technology. If your company is ramping up on a new program, or needs to add a dual source to a current program, this program is a perfect vehicle to reduce risk and costs normally associated with source development. ACTI and Lockheed were awarded the prestigious Nunn Perry award in February of 2009.

History & Ownership
ACTI was founded in October of 1996 by Michael D. Rauch, President and CEO. It is located in a state-of-the-art composites manufacturing facility. ACTI has delivered aircraft parts and assemblies to both domestic and international customers, and in the process earned awards and ratings for the highest level of quality and delivery.
In July of 2003, ACTI partnered with Koniag Development Corporation (KDC) and Doyon Government Services. KDC is a wholly owned subsidiary of Koniag, Inc, and Doyon Government Services is wholly owned by Doyon Limited, both are federally recognized Alaska Native Corporation, organized under the 1971 Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act. Koniag’s shareholders originate from Kodiak Island and Doyon’s shareholders originate from Interior Alaska. Today, earnings from KDC’s and Doyon’s subsidiaries not only go towards shareholder dividends, but also towards important cultural and educational activities such as Education Foundations providing scholarships that can be used for educational opportunities that advance the economic and social needs of Alaska Natives, and the Museum and Archeological Repositories supporting activities that help preserve the rich native history of Alaska.

SDB and Other Incentive Programs to Engage ACTI
Small Disadvantaged Business and HUBZone
ACTI is certified by the Small Business Administration as a Small Disadvantaged Business, an 8(a), and as a HUBZone business. Documentation of this can be found by visiting the SBA-DOD Central Contractor Registration (CCR)database or the SBA’s Pro-Net database.
Always an SDB
It is important to point out that under recent amendments to the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act (“ANCSA”), prime contractors will receive SDB credits for subcontracting with ANC-owned firms, even if an ANC-owned firm is no longer a small businesses or SDB. This means that in the future, when ACTI outgrows its SDB and “small” status, prime contractors will still be able to receive SDB credits for subcontracting with ACTI.
Indian Incentive Program
In addition to the SBA certifications listed above, as an Alaska Native owned company, ACTI’s U.S. defense related customers are entitled to participate in a Department of Defense incentive program that pays cash to any contractor that sources with a Native American or Alaska Native Corporation owned firm.
