    The Indian Health Service's Buy Indian Act Representation Form serves to verify that applicants qualify as an “Indian Economic Enterprise” as defined by federal regulations. This self-certification must occur at three critical stages: the submission of an offer, the awarding of the contract, and throughout the contract's duration. Should an enterprise lose eligibility during these periods, they must promptly inform the Contracting Officer. Additionally, the form mandates that all successful offerors must be registered in the System of Award Management (SAM) and highlights the legal implications of submitting false information. The document requires the offeror to confirm their ownership status and includes spaces for essential identifying information, such as the name of the business and the owner, ensuring authenticity and accountability within the procurement process. The form emphasizes the necessity of compliance with the Buy Indian Act, safeguarding the intent of fostering economic opportunities for Indian-owned enterprises while maintaining legal integrity in contract awards.
