    IHS IEE Representation Form_Jan 2022_508 Compliant.pdf
    The Indian Health Service (IHS) document outlines the requirements for self-certification as an “Indian Economic Enterprise” under the Buy Indian Act. It states that Offerors must confirm their eligibility at three critical stages: upon submission of an offer, during contract award, and throughout the entire contract performance period. If an enterprise's status changes during these periods, immediate notification to the Contracting Officer is required. Additionally, successful Offerors must register with the System of Award Management (SAM) and provide truthful information, as false claims can lead to penalties under federal law. The document also includes a representation section for the Offeror to indicate their compliance with the definition of an “Indian Economic Enterprise,” and it requires the details of the enterprise, including ownership and business identification. This document is integral to government RFPs and grants aimed at supporting Indian-owned businesses, ensuring compliance, and maintaining integrity in procurement processes.
