About this file

This document is an Indian Economic Enterprise Representation Form required by the Indian Health Service (IHS) under the Buy Indian Act authority for federal contract opportunities.

The form is a self-certification document that offerors must complete to represent their status as an "Indian Economic Enterprise" with Indian ownership under 25 U.S.C. 47. The solicitation reference number is 75H70126Q00017 for the Colton Heuker OSS and Community Water Connection project. Offerors must meet the Indian Economic Enterprise definition at three critical points: when submitting an offer, at the time of contract award, and throughout the entire contract performance period. Any change in eligibility status during these periods requires immediate written notification to the Contracting Officer. The form requires the offeror to indicate whether it meets or does not meet the definition of an Indian Economic Enterprise, and must include the name of the federally recognized tribal entity, the name of the 51% owner of the Indian Economic Enterprise (IEE) firm, business name, DUNS number, certifying signature, and printed name. Successful offerors must also be registered with the System of Award Management (SAM). The document warns that false or misleading information constitutes a violation under 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.
