As an Aboriginal owned company, Neegan Burnside Ltd. qualifies for contracts with Native American Tribes in the United States that have established procurement policy through their Tribal Employment Rights Office (TERO). As sovereign Nations, independent Tribes have the authority to regulate and control the procurement practices of all employers conducting business on their reservations. This enables Tribal Governments to promote Indian Preference through policy that regulates employment, contracting and subcontracting. Currently, Neegan Burnside Ltd. is a registered TERO Supplier for the Seneca Nation of New York.
