Attachment_3__IEE_Representation_Form.pdf

The document is an Indian Affairs Indian Economic Enterprise (IEE) Representation Form used to certify an offeror's status under the Buy Indian Act. The form requires an offeror to self-certify that they meet the definition of an Indian Economic Enterprise as defined in the Department of the Interior Acquisition Regulation (DIAR), and this certification must be maintained at three key points: when making an offer, at contract award, and throughout the entire contract term. Contracting officers retain the right to request additional eligibility documentation at any stage of the acquisition process, and submitting false or misleading information can result in legal penalties under 18 U.S.C. 1001, 31 U.S.C. 3729 to 3731, and 18 U.S.C. 287.

The form includes blank fields for critical information such as the solicitation/RFI number, project title, date of submission, 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), and spaces for certifying signatures. By completing this form, the offeror represents that they meet the specific requirements for an Indian Economic Enterprise as outlined in DIAR Part 1480, which is designed to provide contracting opportunities for Indian-owned businesses.
