This file is a Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) clause template for Indian Economic Enterprise representation requirements.

The clause prescribes mandatory language that contracting officers must insert in all written solicitations for supplies, services, architect-engineer services, or construction. Offerors must represent whether they meet the definition of an Indian Economic Enterprise (IEE) as defined in DIAR 1480.201 and affirm their intent to maintain IEE status throughout contract performance. Offerors are required to notify the contracting officer immediately of any ownership changes that could affect compliance with this representation. The clause also establishes penalties for false or misleading information submitted during the offer evaluation process, with violations subject to the civil penalties outlined in the Buy Indian Act under 25 U.S.C. 1001. False claims made during contract performance are additionally subject to penalties enumerated in 31 U.S.C. 3729 to 3731 and 18 U.S.C. 287.
