AITs are always considered Small Disadvantaged Businesses (SDBs)
The FAR typically allows sole-source awards up to $100 million under specific conditions. However, under 1480.401(c)(2), there's no dollar limit specified for awarding contracts to IEEs as long as the fair and reasonable price determination is made.
Awards cannot be protested (13CFR124.517(a))
AITs can have direct negotiations with the Government (13CFR124.503(c)(2))
INDIAN INCENTIVE PROGRAM (25 U.S.C. § 1544)
5% payment of the amount subcontracted to tribal firms.
The Indian Incentive Program, based on Section 504 of the Indian Financing Act of 1974 (25 U.S.C. § 1544), provides for the payment of 5% of the amount subcontracted to Silver Lake Construction, a tribally owned organization, when authorized under the terms of the contract.
DoD contracts with prime contractors that contain FAR 52.226-1, Utilization of Indian Organizations and Indian-Owned Economic Enterprises, are eligible for these incentive payments so long as the prime contract amount is over $500,000 and involves the expenditure of appropriated funds.
