    The Indian Health Service's document outlines the requirements for self-certification as an "Indian Economic Enterprise” in relation to the Buy Indian Act. This self-certification is necessary for Offerors responding to solicitations or Requests for Information (RFI) and must be confirmed at three critical points: when submitting an offer, upon contract award, and throughout the contract performance period. Should an enterprise cease to meet this status during any of these phases, they must notify the Contracting Officer immediately. The document also emphasizes the necessity of registering with the System of Award Management (SAM). It warns that providing false information can result in legal penalties. The representation section allows Offerors to indicate compliance with the Indian Economic Enterprise definition, requiring details about ownership and tribal entity affiliation. This document reinforces the importance of eligibility criteria for set-aside and sole-source contracts, ensuring compliance with the provisions of the Buy Indian Act.
