About this file

This is an Indian Health Service Buy Indian Act Indian Economic Enterprise Representation Form template used for federal contracting solicitations.

The form serves as a self-certification document for offerors responding to Sources Sought Notices, Requests for Information (RFI), or formal solicitations under the Buy Indian Act authority (25 U.S.C. 47). Offerors must certify whether they meet the definition of an "Indian Economic Enterprise" (IEE) with Indian ownership as defined in EHSAR 326.601. The enterprise must maintain eligibility status at three critical junctures: when submitting an offer, at time of contract award, and throughout the full contract performance period. Any loss of eligibility during these periods requires immediate written notification to the Contracting Officer. Successful offerors must be registered with the System of Award Management (SAM) and may be subject to protest regarding eligibility status. The form requires completion of fields including the solicitation/sources sought RFI number, project title, date, name of the federally recognized tribal entity, business name, Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) number, name of the 51 percent owner of the IEE firm, and certifying signature with printed name. False or misleading information submitted in connection with a Buy Indian Act award set-aside constitutes a violation of 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.
