This document outlines the requirements for self-certification as an "Indian Economic Enterprise" (IEE) under the Buy Indian Act, specifically within the context of federal government contracts. Offerors must verify their status as an IEE at three critical points: when responding to a solicitation, at the time of contract award, and throughout the contract's term. Contracting Officers may request further documentation to confirm eligibility at any stage. Importantly, submitting false information carries severe legal penalties. The document includes a representation form that Offerors need to complete, which requires details such as the name of the tribal entity, unique entity ID, legal business name, and information about the majority owner of the firm. This certification process ensures compliance and integrity in awarding contracts specifically set aside for Indian Economic Enterprises, reinforcing the government's commitment to support tribal businesses in federal acquisitions.
