SOURCES SOUGHT NOTICE: Uniform Rental and Launder Service

The Indian Health Service (IHS) requires offerors to self-certify as an "Indian Economic Enterprise" (IEE) in accordance with the Buy Indian Act (25 U.S.C. 47) for solicitations, sources sought, RFIs, and subsequent contracts. This form ensures that businesses meet the IEE definition at the time of offer, contract award, and throughout the contract performance period. Contractors must immediately notify the Contracting Officer if they no longer meet eligibility requirements. Eligibility documentation may be requested, and awards are subject to protest. Successful offerors must also be registered with the System for Award Management (SAM). False or misleading information is punishable under 18 U.S.C. 1001, and false claims are subject to penalties under 31 U.S.C. 3729-3731 and 18 U.S.C. 287. The form requires the offeror to represent whether they meet the IEE definition with Indian Ownership, including spaces for the 51% owner's name, certifying signature, printed name, federally recognized tribal entity name, business name, and DUNS Number.
