About this file
The document is an Indian Health Service (IHS) Buy Indian Act Indian Economic Enterprise (IEE) Representation Form designed for businesses seeking to participate in federal contract opportunities. The form requires self-certification that an offeror meets the definition of an "Indian Economic Enterprise" with at least 51% Indian ownership, where Indian ownership constitutes not less than 51% of the enterprise, receives at least 51% of contract earnings, and where management and daily business operations are controlled by one or more individuals who are Indians.
The form emphasizes legal compliance requirements, including mandatory registration in the System of Award Management (SAM) and potential penalties for false representations, which can include violations under 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 31 U.S.C. 3729-3731. Businesses must maintain IEE status at the time of offer, contract award, and throughout the entire contract performance period, with an obligation to immediately notify the Contracting Officer if they no longer meet eligibility requirements. The specific solicitation is associated with the IHS pre-solicitation for DVYWC Supply of Freshwater, Sewer, and Solid Waste Removal Service, which prioritizes Indian Small Business Economic Enterprise (ISBEE) set-asides.
