About this file
This is a representation and self-certification form for the Buy Indian Act Indian Economic Enterprise (IEE) program administered by the Indian Health Service (IHS), Department of Health & Human Services.
The form certifies that an offeror meets the definition of an "Indian Economic Enterprise" with Indian ownership as required under 25 U.S.C. 47 and HHSAR 326.601 when responding to IHS sources sought notices, requests for information (RFI), or solicitations. Offerors must meet the IEE eligibility requirements at three critical time periods: when submitting an offer, at contract award, and throughout the full contract performance term. If an offeror loses eligibility at any point, immediate written notification to the Contracting Officer is required. Successful offerors must also maintain registration in the System of Award Management (SAM). The form requires the signatory to declare whether the enterprise does or does not meet the IEE definition and must include the federally recognized tribal entity affiliation, business name, DUNS number, the 51% owner's name, and the certifying signature and printed name. False or misleading information submitted in pursuit of a Buy Indian Act set-aside award violates 18 U.S.C. 1001, while false claims during contract performance are subject to penalties under 31 U.S.C. 3729–3731 and 18 U.S.C. 287. The form is a template designed for use across multiple IHS solicitation types.
