Ukpeaġvik Iñupiat Corporation (UIC) and its subsidiary companies have come a long way since the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act (ANCSA) of 1971. Bowhead entered government contracting with a contract in Dahlgren, Virginia in 1999; and, has since been awarded contracts across the United States maintaining excellent customer service at every level. This commitment to excellence has proven successful, as our customers continue to return with their business. Receiving high-quality service from a group of high-caliber professionals is demonstrated in every task that Bowhead undertakes.

Delivering value-added solutions with integrity, honesty, and teamwork is our mission and is the foundation upon which Bowhead was built. Today, as we continue to grow in both employee and customer base, Bowhead has kept this mission -- instilled by our Iñupiat shareholders -- close to heart.

Commitment to the common goal provides a sense of importance and belonging. At Bowhead, our core values are truly felt throughout the organization. Our Iñupiat shareholders founded UIC and its subsidiaries based on their family-oriented culture, one that I am extremely proud to be a part of.

If you are a member of the Bowhead Technical and Professional family of companies, then keep up the good work! Our team is moving fast toward new levels of success due entirely to you. If you are a customer, let me take this opportunity to thank you. We work hard to earn and retain your business; we hope our service continues to help you reach your goals. Finally, if you are thinking of working or partnering with us, I assure you that at Bowhead, you will find an organization looking to build long-lasting business relationships.
