The Indian Health Service (IHS) requires offerors to self-certify as an “Indian Economic Enterprise” (IEE) under the Buy Indian Act (25 U.S.C. 47) for solicitations, sources sought, and RFIs. This certification must be maintained from the time an offer is made, through contract award, and for the full term of contract performance. If eligibility changes, the contractor must immediately notify the Contracting Officer. While individual officers may request documentation, successful offerors must also be registered with the System for Award Management (SAM). False or misleading information can lead to penalties under 18 U.S.C. 1001 for false statements and 31 U.S.C. 3729-3731 and 18 U.S.C. 287 for false claims.
