About this file
The document is an Indian Economic Enterprise (IEE) Representation Form from the Indian Health Service (IHS), designed for businesses seeking to participate in Buy Indian Act contracts. The form requires self-certification that an offeror meets the definition of an "Indian Economic Enterprise" with at least 51% Indian ownership, and mandates continued eligibility throughout the solicitation, award, and contract performance periods. Businesses must also be registered in the System of Award Management (SAM) and understand that submitting false information can result in legal penalties under 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 31 U.S.C. 3729-3731.
The form is specifically related to a Sources Sought Notice (SSN) for the Phoenix Area IHS, seeking market research on qualified sources for CAP Annual Accreditation Services. The IHS Contracting Officer will prioritize set-asides for Indian Small Business Economic Enterprises (ISBEE) for this acquisition, applying the Buy Indian Act to all purchases regardless of dollar value. This notice is informational and does not constitute a formal Request for Quotation, but signals the agency's intent to exclusively set aside the contract for qualified Indian Economic Enterprises.
