Memorandum
To:

Oneida Business Committee

From:

Tehassi tasi Hill, Chairman

Date:

May 15, 2025

Re:

Washington DC Travel Request – Week of June 2, 2025

Please accept this memorandum as a request to the Business Committee to approve
this epoll request for up to 5 Business Committee members to travel to Washington D.C.
the week of June 2, 2025, for the sole purposes of lobbying on the proposed federal
budget cuts that impact our operations and/or tribal entities.
As you know, the President has released his budget request to Congress (attached) and
there are proposed cuts to tribal programs and agencies that are integral to our current
operations.
In consultation with Intergovernmental Affairs, we are focused on two focus points – budget
reconciliation and annual appropriations bills.
Regarding budget reconciliation, it is expected that the House will come close to finalizing
their first draft at reconciliation by May 23rd. That means we will have full text of the proposal,
and it will either have passed the House, or failed. This gives us the perfect opportunity to go
to Senate Republicans as they prepare their counterproposal, as well as key House
Leadership
For appropriations, Congress is way behind in its annual appropriations process, largely due
to delays in the President sending his full budget request. Trump’s "skinny budget" was
released on May 2, 2025, and the full budget is expected to come out in the next few weeks,
after which appropriators will be working quickly to draft their bills. The skinny budget
proposes massive cuts to tribal programs, so we need to get into Republican offices and
make sure that they are not following through with those cuts, especially to tribal housing
programs, Medicaid and Medicare, etc.
Much of the strategy and messaging for the visit will be determined based on how far
Republicans get in passing their reconciliation bill, but our advocacy will focus on Republicans
both in Wisconsin and our tribal champions like Tom Cole and others. Intergovernmental
Affairs has been working with the organization and tribally chartered corporations to
determine detailed impacts to the programs listed in the President’s budget request to prepare
talking points and collect data/information in advance.

b. Explanation of the Corporation’s current place within the market
OESC operates in a fiercely competitive and expanding market. An abundance of
Architecture / Engineering / Construction (AEC) firms that provide similar services to those
offered by OESC. Competitive factors for our success include performance, reputation,
network, price, geographic location, and availability of technically skilled personnel.
Three of the top five federal spending agencies awarding non-competitive contracts are
OESC customers.
c. Explanation of the outlines of strategies by the Corporation for improved value in the
market
OESC’s subsidiaries are positioned to take advantage of existing relationships, contracts, and
networks OTIE has established since 2008.
We continuously evaluate solutions to broaden and capture a larger share of the Federal and
State markets. Each subsidiary operates based on primary NAICS codes with secondary
NAICS codes that overlap with the sister companies.
d. Explanation of the Corporation’s relative performance vs. competitors and
identification of key competitors within the market
Our competitors include Small Businesses, Alaskan Native Corporations (ANCs); Native
American Owned, and tribally owned small businesses; and Native Hawaiian Organizations
(NHOs). Each of these are in a category of small business that may be awarded prime
contracts without competition. Oneida ESC subsidiaries also compete against other 8(a)
firms for set-aside acquisitions, including small businesses that are categorized as WomanOwned, HUB Zone, Service-Disabled Veteran Owned small business, and others. Finally,
Oneida ESC competes in full and open markets without restrictions.
Typical competitors include Small Business firms with fewer than 750 employees in NAICS
562910, Environmental Remediation. Another area of significant competition is the regional
Transportation Engineering firms in Wisconsin for WI DOT work (OES).
e. Explanation of any material changes or developments in the market or nature of
business the Corporation is primarily engaged in since the last reporting period.
The most significant change has been the comprehensive overhaul of the Federal Acquisition


Oneida ESC Group, LLC
Regulation (FAR) through the executive order.
Implementation of a regulatory sunset framework requiring non-statutory rules to expire
within four years; removal of duplicative clauses and unnecessary provisions, and rewriting
of the FAR in plain language to improve accessibility and understanding
Additionally, a shift in defense procurement could be a benefit to OESC as the focus has
shifted to:
New preference for "commercial solutions" in Department of Defense acquisitions
Increased use of Other Transactions Authority (OTA) acquisitions
Streamlined foreign defense sales system with a new "priority list" for allies
We are keeping an eye on the new priorities in federal procurement such as enhanced
emphasis on supply chain resiliency with stricter "Buy American" policies, accelerated
integration of artificial intelligence in federal operations, strengthened cybersecurity
compliance requirements, and expansion of the "rule of two" for small business set-asides
under Multiple Award Contracts. Again, this could be a benefit to OESC operations.
However, there is a significant period of regulatory uncertainty. New requirements for
justifying the absence of commercial solutions in solicitations, increased emphasis on
commercial solutions and private-sector practices, need for contractors to adapt internal
processes and compliance strategies, and greater opportunities for small businesses in federal
contracting. And of course, DOGE and its impacts. Currently, there are no significant
impacts to our current backlog. Some projects have been delayed while our customers seek
clarification and clear directives.
f. Identification of the primary goals and targets of the Corporation and progress made
towards accomplishment of the same.
Goals for Oneida ESC Group
Growth at a sustainable rate is the primary business goal for OESC. Financial reward for
OESC occurs when we align our investment strategies according to our client’s mission
priorities.
Targets for OESC Subsidiaries:
Opportunities continue to exist in geographies where all companies have successful past
performance and where personnel involved in such projects have established strong
relationships with teaming partners and clients. Opportunities continue to emerge based on
the combined efforts of OESC’s marketing and sales efforts. Target clients continue to
include Department of Defense agencies (various bases – Navy, Air Force, and Army), The
Environmental Protection Agency, Bureau of Indian Affairs, WI Department of
Transportation, Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewer District, and the Oneida Nation.
New target clients include extended services on existing bases, geographical growth on
“new” bases where OESC has not performed work on in the past, municipalities

geographically related to OESC offices and other Tribal Nations.
g. Identification of key elements for success in strategies given, including risks,
resources, and relations available and needed to successfully fulfill outlined strategies
Key elements for success in the OESC model include:
x Meeting performance indicators, including safety, staff turnover, profitability, staff
utilization, backlog, and capacity.
x Adapting to a changing customer base, contract type, or key skill set. We recognize and
reconfigure based on identified needs to deliver strategic growth.
x Identification of contract capacity and access is under regular review.
x Increasing our geographic footprint and capabilities.
Risk in the marketplace.
x We operate in highly competitive industries.
x Contracting is often erratic and unpredictable; cancellations or delays in pending awards
by government agencies could adversely affect us.
x International operations carry additional risk.
x Loss of key personnel
x Adoption of new contract laws or regulations.
h. Identification of medium (two to five years) and long (greater than five year)
prospects and sustainability of the Corporation given the present status, strategies,
and risks
Our medium and long-range prospects for sustainability are balanced by business
diversification and consistent project management delivery.
We have successfully formed long-term business relationships with key US Agencies for
services delivered around the world. Contracting with the US government remains a reliable
strategy in terms of payment, stability, and growth opportunity.
Medium-term prospects
OESC’s prospects in the two- to five-year term rely on our sturdy performance in
engineering, science, and construction to existing clients; adjacent clients/services and
geographic areas; and new service offerings to new clients. OESC continues to focus on
business development and talent acquisition to meet our growth metrics.
Long-term prospects
OESC envisions steady growth with our key customers over the long term. OESC is nimble
and agile, allowing us to focus on governments funding flows.
Continued reliance on low-price awards is a staple in our business model and we continue to
adjust the pricing structure to ensure that we remain competitive. We continue to concentrate
marketing efforts on maximizing our return on investment through expanding support for
existing customers, developing tasks under existing contracts, and collaborating with firms
that need either small business participation or our specialized expertise.

i. Explanation of market growth (if any) experienced by the Corporation, identifying
sources of growth (i.e., organic growth through market share increase, volume of
business increase, acquisition of competition or other assets, etc.)
Our growth has been mostly organic and is based on our reputation in the market. We have
re-aligned our corporate brand by including Oneida in all business names moving forward.
We have made a concerted effort to draw on our expertise in the polyfluoroalkyl substances
(PFAS) and Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) remediation market. We also see growth in our
traditional engineering services such as civil, mechanical, electrical, and structural.

north of Green Bay tend to see us as higher priced.
We are planning food specials during the NFL Dra including fry bread tacos and cheese curd
flights.
o Due to increased demand, rates are actually increased.
Season pass sales have been very strong throughout the quarter, having already surpassed last
season’s total.

Looking Back: Accomplishments in FY‐2024
OYLI has total of $134,921.92 in our Checking/Savings accounts. Of this, there still remains $5,000 in restricted
monies/expenditures for the Oneida Singing group that has never been cashed. We need some type of guidance as to what to
do with these monies. The check has been properly handed to Brenda Kindness on March 27, 2024, however the check has
never been cashed and shows in our account. OYLI currently has a total of $129,921.92 in unrestricted funds in the OYLI bank
accounts. We are awaiting payment for another $6,882 in reimbursement from the ONSS for payments processed, as well as
the 5% administration fee of $344.10. These are monies that can be used at the Board’s discretion in meeting the mission of
OYLI, including board stipends. OYLI is continues to do organizational planning and revisioning when possible. With a limited

Board and fulltime work status, it can be difficult to hold a meeting. We still work with fundraising groups with a few
fundraising transactions as needed.

Looking Forward: Goals/Announcements for FY‐2023
OYLI Executive Manager position is has been finalized. The Board’s decision to focus on its initial purpose of providing
grants/sponsorships to youth for leadership development has taken precedence. OYLI’s development of a capital campaign to
fundraise for organizational support would be at the direction of the new Exec. Manager. The Board has been recruiting for
the vacant board positions. The Board has waiting for at least 6 members before selecting new fulltime Officers. OYLI hopes to
obtain a full board of 7 members this upcoming year. With our revisioning, OYLI decided that it needs to focus on its initial
purpose of providing grants/sponsorships to youth for leadership development and has recently gone through planning
facilitation to review its goals and objectives. We are currently working with DTS on updating our website.
