Title: ●Acquisition Regulations; Buy Indian Act; Procedures for Contracting | |
Abstract:
The Indian Health Service (IHS) is proposing to issue regulations guiding implementation of the Buy Indian Act, which provides IHS with authority to set-aside procurement contracts for Indian-owned and controlled businesses. This rule supplements the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and the current HHS Acquisition Regulations (HHSAR). IHS may use the Buy Indian Act procurement authority for acquisitions in connection with those functions. This rule is proposed to describe administration procedures that the IHS will use in all of its locations to encourage procurement relationships with eligible Indian Economic Enterprises in the execution of the Buy Indian Act. These proposed rules are intended to be consistent with Buy Indian Act rules previously promulgated by the Department of Interior. |
