The Indian Health Service (HHS) is issuing a representation form related to the Buy Indian Act, requiring self-certification from Offerors that they qualify as an "Indian Economic Enterprise." This certification must be maintained at three key points: when an offer is made, at contract award, and throughout the contract performance period. Should an enterprise lose its eligibility at any point, immediate notification to the Contracting Officer is required. Additionally, Offerors must be registered with the System of Award Management (SAM) and provide an accurate representation of their status concerning Indian ownership. Any false claims or misleading information can lead to legal penalties. This document outlines the requirements and responsibilities of Offerors seeking contracts under the Buy Indian Act, ensuring compliance and protecting the integrity of the federal contracting process.
