Attention
Due to considerable interest shown in the program, there will be a delay between rebate submittal and rebate payment. As long as the Indian Incentive funds are authorized in each years Defense Appropriations Act, and if the contract of the request remains open, each eligible request will be eventually funded, though not necessarily in the same fiscal year that the request is submitted.

Announcements:
June 2010 Memo regarding no affiliation between the Prime Contractor and Subcontractor.
May 2010
The contracting officer is required to verify that Prime contractors and
Subcontractors, for which rebates are being requested, are not on the
Excluded Parties List. The EPL system is provided as a public service by
General Services Administration (GSA) for the purpose of efficiently and
conveniently disseminating information on parties that are excluded from
receiving Federal contracts, certain subcontracts, and certain Federal
financial and nonfinancial assistance and benefits, pursuant to the
provisions of 31 U.S.C. 6101, note, E.O. 12549, E.O. 12689, 48 CFR 9.404,
and each agency's codification of the Common Rule for Nonprocurement

Native Americans have a long history of patriotically contributing to the U.S. Military. Today, Native American small businesses in the fields of engineering, construction, IT, and other areas, continue to supply the Department of Defense (DoD) with dependable high-quality supplies and services.
Despite recent upward trends in economic activity, Indian reservations and Alaska Native Villages still suffer some of the worst poverty in the country. In an effort to boost Native American economic development, Congress has authorized Federal contracting agencies to “encourage” the use of Native American owned subcontractors. The DoD Indian Incentive Program is a viable example of this encouragement.
The Department of Defense (DoD) Indian Incentive Program (IIP) motivates Prime contractors to utilize Indian organizations and Indian-owned economic enterprises, by providing a 5% rebate to Prime contractors on subcontracted work performed by an Indian organization or on subcontracted commercial products manufactured in whole or in part by an Indian organization. For actions after 13 September 2001, sub-tier contractors who subcontract to an Indian-owned firm are also eligible for incentive payments.
The Indian Incentive Program has certain eligibility requirements. If you are interested in participating in the Indian Incentive Program, we encourage you to thoroughly research our website and learn about the program.
See our presentation honoring Native American veterans of the US Military.
