About this file

This document is a supplement to the Department of Interior Acquisition Regulation (DIAR) establishing requirements for Indian Economic Enterprise (IEE) set-asides in federal contracts.

The document outlines mandatory submission requirements for offerors responding to IEE set-aside solicitations. Offerors must declare their subcontracting approach by selecting one of four options: no subcontracting required, subcontracting with responsible IEEs only, or subcontracting a specified percentage of work to non-IEE firms (up to 50% for supplies and services, 75% for special trade construction, or 85% for general construction). Offerors must also provide qualifications for any key personnel assigned to the contract and submit written assurance of compliance with IEE requirements before contract award and upon successful completion. The document further requires offerors to represent whether they meet the IEE definition under DIAR 1480.201 and commit to maintaining that status throughout contract performance, with immediate written notification to the contracting officer of any ownership changes affecting compliance. Failure to provide required information renders an offer non-responsive and subject to rejection. The document emphasizes legal penalties for false or misleading information, including violations of 18 U.S.C. 1001 for false statements in offers and 31 U.S.C. 3729-3731 and 18 U.S.C. 287 for false claims during contract performance.
