About this file

The document is an Indian Economic Enterprise (IEE) Representation Form from the Department of Health and Human Services Indian Health Service, designed for use in the Buy Indian Act procurement process. The form requires offerors to self-certify whether they meet the definition of an "Indian Economic Enterprise" with Indian ownership, with specific requirements that the enterprise must maintain this status at the time of offer, contract award, and throughout the contract performance period. The form emphasizes that providing false or misleading information is a violation of law punishable under 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 31 U.S.C. 3729-3731, and mandates that successful offerors must be registered in the System of Award Management (SAM).

The form is specifically related to a Sources Sought Notice (Solicitation Number 75H709-BAIHS-25-010) for Pharmacy Claims Switching and Benefit Eligibility Verification Services for the Billings Area Indian Health Service locations. The anticipated NAICS code is 518210 (Computing Infrastructure Providers, Data Processing, Web Hosting, and Related Services), with a potential twelve-month base period and four option periods. The procurement aims to serve six Health Service Units providing healthcare to over 70,000 American Indian and Alaska Native people in Montana, requiring electronic pharmaceutical claims switching and web-based pharmacy benefit eligibility verification services.
