Attachment_3__IEE_Representation_Form.pdf

This is an Indian Affairs Indian Economic Enterprise Representation Form used for federal contract opportunities under the Buy Indian Act. The form serves as a self-certification document that enables offerors to represent their status as Indian Economic Enterprises (IEEs) in accordance with 25 U.S.C. 47 and the Department of Interior Acquisition Regulation (DIAR) Part 1480.

The form requires offerors to certify that their enterprise meets the IEE definition at three critical points: when submitting an offer in response to a written solicitation, at the time of contract award, and throughout the full term of the contract. Contracting officers may request additional documentation to verify eligibility at any stage of the acquisition lifecycle, including pre-award and proposal evaluation phases. The form collects specific identifying information including the Federally Recognized Tribal Entity name, the 51% (or greater) owner of the IEE firm, the legal business name, certifying signature, unique entity ID (UEI), and printed name of the signatory. The document emphasizes that false or misleading information submitted with an offer is a violation of 18 U.S.C. 1001, while false claims during contract performance are subject to penalties under 31 U.S.C. 3729 to 3731 and 18 U.S.C. 287.
