Attachment_1__IEE_Representation_Form.pdf

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

The form requires offerors to certify their IEE status at three critical points in the acquisition lifecycle: 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 eligibility documentation at any point during the acquisition process, including pre-award and proposal evaluation phases. The form mandates disclosure of the federally recognized tribal entity associated with the enterprise, the 51% or greater owner of the IEE firm, the legal business name, and unique entity identifier (UEI). Signatories must provide their printed name and certifying signature on the form. The document emphasizes that false or misleading information constitutes a violation of 18 U.S.C. 1001 and subjects the offeror to potential penalties under 31 U.S.C. 3729 to 3731 and 18 U.S.C. 287. This representation is made in accordance with 25 U.S.C. 47 and Department of Interior Acquisition Regulation (DIAR) Part 1480 governing acquisitions under the Buy Indian Act.
