    IHS IEE Representation Form.pdf
    The document outlines the representation requirements for Offerors responding to solicitations issued by the Indian Health Service under the Buy Indian Act. It highlights that Offerors must self-certify their status as an "Indian Economic Enterprise" at three key points: when making an offer, at the time of contract award, and throughout the contract performance period. Should an enterprise's eligibility status change, immediate notification to the Contracting Officer is required. Furthermore, Offerors must be registered with the System of Award Management (SAM), and any false information could lead to legal penalties. The form includes sections for personal and business information, as well as a declaration of ownership, specifically indicating if they meet the definition of an Indian Economic Enterprise. This framework is designed to promote Native American business participation in federal contracting projects while ensuring compliance with legal standards within the parameters of RFPs at federal and state/local levels. The integrity of the certification process is critical for maintaining accountability and transparency in government contracting.
