The Indian Health Service (IHS) provides a self-certification form for enterprises to declare their status as an “Indian Economic Enterprise” (IEE) under the Buy Indian Act (25 U.S.C. 47). This form is crucial for solicitations, sources sought notices, RFIs, and subsequent contracts, ensuring that eligible businesses meet the IEE definition at the time of offer, contract award, and throughout the contract performance period. Businesses must notify the Contracting Officer immediately if they no longer meet the eligibility requirements. Individual Contracting Officers may request additional documentation for eligibility, and awards are subject to protest if eligibility is questioned. In addition to self-certification, successful Offerors must be registered with the System for Award Management (SAM). The document warns against submitting false or misleading information, citing penalties under 18 U.S.C. 1001 for false information and 31 U.S.C. 3729 to 3731 and 18 U.S.C. 287 for false claims during contract performance. The form requires the Offeror to explicitly state whether they meet the IEE definition and provides fields for the name of the 51% owner, certifying signature, printed name, name of the Federally Recognized Tribal Entity, Business Name, and UEI Number.
