The form is a self-certification document for Solicitation 75H71326Q00056 issued June 18, 2026, for American Sign Language (ASL) Interpreter Services. Offerors must certify whether they meet the definition of an "Indian Economic Enterprise" with Indian ownership as defined under 25 U.S.C. 47 and HHSAR 326.601. Enterprises must maintain eligibility status at three critical junctures: when submitting an offer, at the time of contract award, and throughout the full contract performance period. Any loss of eligibility requires immediate written notification to the Contracting Officer. Contracting Officers may require documentation of eligibility before awarding set-aside or sole source contracts, and awards are subject to protest if the successful Offeror's eligibility is questioned. Successful Offerors must also register with the System of Award Management (SAM). The form requires submission of the federally recognized tribal entity name, 51% owner name, business name, DUNS number, and certifying signature. False or misleading information submitted in support of a Buy Indian Act set-aside award violates federal law and is punishable under 18 U.S.C. 1001, while false claims during contract performance are subject to penalties under 31 U.S.C. 3729-3731 and 18 U.S.C. 287.
