This is an Indian Affairs Indian Economic Enterprise (IEE) Representation Form used for self-certification under the Buy Indian Act for contract opportunities. The form requires offerors to certify they meet the definition of an IEE as defined in Department of the Interior Acquisition Regulation (DIAR) Part 1480 for "Acquisitions Under the Buy Indian Act."

The form requires basic information including the solicitation/sources sought/RFI number, project title, and submission date. It also requires details about the federally recognized tribal entity, the legal business name, unique entity ID (UEID), the name of the 51% or greater owner of the IEE firm, and certifying signature. The form specifies that enterprises must meet eligibility requirements at three key times: when making an offer, at contract award, and throughout the contract period. False or misleading information is subject to penalties under various U.S.C. statutes. This form is specifically associated with solicitation 140A0325Q0002 for Public Defender Services for the Courts of Indian Offenses under the Southern Plains Regional Office.
