[White Cloud, Kansas] — Grey Snow Professional Services, an enterprise of the Iowa Tribe of Kansas and Nebraska, has announced the launch of a new joint venture with Patriot Construction Management, LLC.
This collaboration brings together the strength of a Tribally owned 8(a) small business and the scale of one of the nation’s largest federal construction firms to deliver comprehensive, high-impact solutions across the U.S. government sector.
The Grey Snow–Patriot Alliance Joint Venture is designed to enhance access to federal contracts, expand geographic reach, and offer a broader scope of turnkey construction services.
The joint venture strategically combines Grey Snow’s agility and mission-driven approach with Patriot’s technical capabilities in roofing, paving, solar, heavy civil, HVAC, and security infrastructure.
“This joint venture reflects the best of what true partnerships can achieve,” said Fletcher Burton, President of Grey Snow Professional Services.
“It’s about growing Tribal capacity, strengthening our teams, and building a reputation for delivering excellent, culturally respectful work on some of the most important infrastructure projects in the country.”
Driving Shared Success Across Sectors
This alliance enables both companies to compete for larger, more complex government opportunities—particularly those set aside for 8(a) and Tribally owned businesses—by integrating their capabilities, knowledge, and resources. Together, they’ll leverage joint bonding capacity, share overhead efficiencies, and pool skilled talent to deliver projects at scale.
The joint venture also builds upon the mentorship already established through the SBA Mentor-Protégé Program, with Patriot continuing to support Grey Snow’s growth through technical training, compliance best practices, and project management systems.
“Our joint venture with Grey Snow Professional Services is more than just a business alliance—it’s a commitment to building something lasting and meaningful,” said Chris Tharp, Director of Federal Procurement at Patriot Construction.
“By aligning our strengths, we’re not just chasing contracts—we’re creating pathways for growth, delivering exceptional value to our clients, and honoring the trust that comes with tribal partnership.”
