Title: Department of the Interior Acquisition Regulations, Buy Indian Act Acquisition Regulations | |
Abstract:
This proposed rule revises implementation of the Buy Indian Act, which provides the Department with authority to set aside procurement contracts or Indian-owned and controlled businesses. The rule proposes to revise the Department of the Interior Acquisition Regulations to eliminate the restriction on Indian Economic Enterprises from competing on "covered" construction contracts issued under the Buy Indian Act; expand Indian Economic Enterprise's ability to subcontract work subject to the Buy Indian Act consistent with other government socio-economic set-aside programs; give greater preference to Indian Economic Enterprises when a deviation from the Buy Indian Act is necessary; and reduce the potential for fraud and abuse of acquisitions subject to the Buy Indian Act. The rule will enhance business opportunities for Indian Economic Enterprises and assist in the economic development of Indian Country. |
