On March 5, 2007, Tribal Governments of the Bering Straits region of Alaska and Kawerak Inc. embarked on an exciting and ambitious venture that has greatly benefitted the Native people of the Northwestern Alaska Region; Tumet Industries LLC was formed.

Tumet Industries LLC is an 8(a) certified contractor through the Small Business Administration (SBA) classified as a Small Disadvantaged Business (SDB). Tumet Industries received SBA 8(a) status in 2008.
