This Indian Health Service (IHS) document is an Indian Economic Enterprise (IEE) Representation Form utilized under the Buy Indian Act (25 U.S.C. 47). It serves as a self-certification mechanism for offerors to declare their status as an eligible IEE when responding to federal solicitations, sources sought notices, or requests for information (RFIs). To qualify, an offeror must meet the regulatory definition of an IEE at three critical stages: when submitting an offer, at the time of contract award, and throughout the entire duration of contract performance. If eligibility status changes at any point, the contractor is required to notify the Contracting Officer immediately in writing. Additionally, offerors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM). Contracting officers reserve the right to request proof of eligibility prior to making an award, and selections may be subject to protest. Submitting false or misleading information to obtain a set-aside or sole-source contract under the Buy Indian Act violates federal law and carries severe civil and criminal penalties under 18 U.S.C. 1001, 18 U.S.C. 287, and 31 U.S.C. 3729 to 3731. The form requires the business to formally state whether it meets the definition of an IEE. It collects key verification details, including the business name, DUNS number, the name of the 51% owner, their certifying signature, and the name of the associated federally recognized tribal entity.
