This form serves as a self-certification that the offeror meets the definition of an “Indian Economic Enterprise” (IEE) as per HHSAR 326.601, and must maintain this status throughout the offer, award, and contract performance periods. Contractors are obligated to notify the Contracting Officer immediately if they no longer meet the eligibility requirements. Individual Contracting Officers may request documentation for eligibility, and awards may face 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. 3729-3731 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 spaces for the 51% owner's name, certifying signature, printed name, federally recognized tribal entity, business name, and DUNS Number.
