Bowhead Technical & Professional Services

The Bowhead Technical and Professional family of companies looks to the cultural legacy of Northern Alaska for the values to guide its business efforts. The Iñupiat people -- Bowhead's inspiration -- are a resilient tribe whose survival in a harsh environment requires mutual reliance, determination, adaptability, and strength of character. Bowhead is proud to uphold the rich cultural tradition of the Iñupiat people that are significant components to its business ethic.

This tradition is intertwined in our overall corporate philosophy and forms the foundation of the company's mission, which is to be recognized as a premier technical and professional service provider through continuous improvement in partnership with our clients, delivering value-added solutions with integrity, honesty, and teamwork.

Bowhead's vision aims to enhance shareholder value by cultivating close customer relationships and employee satisfaction.

Iñupiat history demonstrates a uniquely collective ability to adapt, survive, and prosper. The principle known as piqpakkutiqaġniq suli qiksiksrautiqaġniq utuqqanaanun allanullu encourages all people to treat each other fairly and with respect, as their elders taught them to do.

As successful whalers, the Iñupiat people possess a deep-seated appreciation for effective planning, a common direction, and cooperative action. Over many centuries, they have developed a robust and supportive culture that Bowhead brings to its business endeavors. It is founded on the following principles:

Aviktuaqatigiigòiq (sharing responsibilities) -- Acts of generosity always return to the giver. Bowhead customers can depend upon an exceptional level of service. From senior management to program professionals, we ensure that customer concerns are Bowhead's concerns, and are tackled as such. Only by serving our customers proficiently do we serve ourselves.

Ilagiigòiq (respecting relationships) -- At Bowhead, we understand what we do and appreciate our connections to our customers. We respect government's intent when representatives seek contractor solutions and are dedicated to providing those solutions eagerly and with expertise.
Paammaaġigòiq (cooperation) -- Together, we can accomplish anything! Bowhead people know how to listen to its customers. We discern problems, develop solutions, and work efficiently toward those solutions, communicating with customers every step of the way.
Paaqtaktautaiòòiq (avoidance of conflict) -- People are our strength. Bowhead's strong management controls encourage us to work positively and ethically with our customers for mutual accomplishment and to recognize conflict as a deterrent to progress.
