The Indian Health Service (IHS) is soliciting representations under the Buy Indian Act, which aims to support Indian Economic Enterprises (IEEs). This form serves as self-certification for Offerors to confirm they meet the criteria of an IEE at the time of offer submission, contract award, and throughout the contract period. Offerors are required to notify the Contracting Officer if they cease to meet eligibility standards. Contracting Officers may require documentation of eligibility, and any misleading submissions can result in legal consequences. Additionally, successful Offerors must be registered with the System of Award Management (SAM). The document includes a representation section where the Offeror must indicate whether they meet the IEE definition and provide details such as the owner's name and business identifiers. This solicitation emphasizes maintaining compliance with federal regulations and ensuring accountability in contracting.

The Shiprock IHS Service Unit is seeking an outside contractor to replace the Generator Fuel Pumps at the Four Corners Regional Healthcare Center in Red Mesa, Arizona. The current jockey pump, in use since 2007, is noisy and needs replacement to ensure reliable backup power for healthcare services. The contractor will install a new jockey pump and provide redundancy for the existing system, coordinating any additional required parts with the Contract Officer. The work must be completed within ninety days of receiving a “Notice to Proceed.” The contractor is responsible for all materials, labor, tools, and safety equipment, and must adhere to government regulations including no smoking on-site. Coordination with facility management is necessary throughout the project, and the contractor must report any damages caused by their operations. Quality assurance measures include compliance with federal standards, safety protocols, and the replacement of defective materials at no charge. This RFP reflects the IHS's commitment to health and safety for American Indians and Alaska Natives by ensuring essential healthcare operations are supported by reliable infrastructure.
