Attachment_1__IEE_Representation_Form.pdf

This is an Indian Affairs Indian Economic Enterprise Representation Form used to certify that an offeror qualifies as an Indian Economic Enterprise (IEE) under the Buy Indian Act.

The form requires offerors to self-certify their IEE status in accordance with 25 U.S.C. 47 and DIAR Part 1480. Certification must be maintained at three critical points: when submitting an offer in response to a written solicitation, at the time of contract award, and throughout the full contract term. Contracting officers may request additional documentation to verify eligibility at any time during the acquisition lifecycle, including pre-award and proposal evaluation phases. The form includes fields for the Solicitation/Sources Sought/RFI Number, Project Title, and Date of Form Submission, along with offeror representation fields requiring the Name of the Federally Recognized Tribal Entity, Name of the 51% (or greater) Owner of the IEE Firm, Legal Business Name, Unique Entity ID (UEI), Certifying Signature, and Printed Name. The form carries significant legal consequences: any false or misleading information submitted with an offer violates 18 U.S.C. 1001 and is punishable by law, while false claims made during contract performance are subject to penalties under 31 U.S.C. 3729 to 3731 and 18 U.S.C. 287.
