This self-certification is mandated at three key stages: upon proposal submission, at contract award, and throughout the contract performance period. Offerors must notify the Contracting Officer if they cease to meet eligibility requirements at any time. Additionally, documentation of eligibility may be required before awarding contracts, which are subject to scrutiny if eligibility is questioned. It is crucial that successful Offerors register with the System of Award Management (SAM) and avoid providing false information, as violations can lead to federal penalties. The document concludes with spaces for essential identification details, including the name of the 51% owner, tribal entity affiliation, business name, and DUNS number, underscoring the importance of accurate representation within federal contract processes.
