IEE_Representation_Form.pdf

This is an Indian Affairs Indian Economic Enterprise Representation Form used for federal contract opportunities under the Buy Indian Act. The form serves as a self-certification document that allows offerors to represent that they meet the definition of an "Indian Economic Enterprise" (IEE) as defined in the Department of Interior Acquisition Regulation (DIAR) Part 1480.

The form requires offerors to certify their IEE status at three critical points during the contract lifecycle: at the time an offer is submitted in response to a written solicitation, at the time of contract award, and during the full term of the contract. Contracting officers may request additional documentation to verify eligibility at any point during the acquisition lifecycle, including pre-award and proposal evaluation stages. The form contains fields for the offeror to provide the Name of Federally Recognized Tribal Entity, Name of the 51% (or greater) Owner of the IEE Firm, Legal Business Name, Unique Entity ID (UEI), Certifying Signature, and Printed Name. The document emphasizes that false or misleading information submitted by an enterprise is a violation of law punishable under 18 U.S.C. 1001, and false claims submitted as part of contract performance are subject to penalties under 31 U.S.C. 3729 to 3731 and 18 U.S.C. 287.
