    This document outlines requirements for Offerors under the Buy Indian Act, ensuring that entities qualify as "Indian Economic Enterprises" (IEEs). According to 25 U.S.C. 47, Offerors must self-certify their status as IEEs when responding to proposals and maintain this eligibility throughout the contracting process. The requirements are in effect at three key times: when the offer is made, at contract award, and throughout the contract duration. Contracting Officers may request additional information to verify eligibility, which must be accurate, as false claims under this Act can lead to severe legal penalties. The document includes a representation form for Offerors to declare their IEE status, with fields for requisite information, including the federally recognized tribal entity and ownership details. This framework supports the federal government's commitment to facilitate economic opportunities for recognized indigenous enterprises.
