About this file

This document is an Indian Health Service (IHS) Buy Indian Act Indian Economic Enterprise (IEE) Representation Form designed for potential contractors to self-certify their status as an Indian Economic Enterprise. The form requires offerors to represent whether they meet the definition of an "Indian Economic Enterprise" with "Indian Ownership" under the Buy Indian Act, with specific requirements that the enterprise must maintain this status at the time of offer, contract award, and throughout the entire contract performance period.

The form is associated with a Sources Sought Notice (SS-IHS11402-BI) for Cable Satellite Television Distribution Services, issued by the Phoenix Area Indian Health Service. The solicitation emphasizes the IHS Contracting Officer's priority to utilize Indian Small Business Economic Enterprises (ISBEE) set-asides to the maximum extent possible for all purchases. Offerors must be prepared to provide documentation of eligibility if requested, and must be registered in the System of Award Management (SAM). The form includes warnings about potential legal penalties for submitting false or misleading information, underscoring the serious nature of the self-certification process.
