Offerors must confirm their compliance with the definition of an "Indian Economic Enterprise" through a signature, provide information about ownership, and be registered with the System of Award Management (SAM). This form serves both to inform potential contractors of the requirements and to protect the integrity of the contracting process by ensuring that only qualified Indian Economic Enterprises are considered for awards.
