The Indian Health Service, under the Department of Health & Human Services, issued a representation form related to the Buy Indian Act, requiring Offerors to self-certify as “Indian Economic Enterprises” when responding to solicitations or requests for information. The certification must be maintained throughout the solicitation process, contract award, and performance periods. If at any point the contractor no longer qualifies, they must notify the Contracting Officer immediately. The form emphasizes the necessity of registration with the System of Award Management (SAM) and warns that false information could lead to significant legal consequences under federal law. Offerors must affirm whether they meet the "Indian Economic Enterprise" criteria, providing relevant ownership details as part of their response to solicitations associated with the act. This document reflects the government's commitment to supporting Indian-owned businesses through set-aside contracts while ensuring compliance and accountability in federal contracting processes.
