WHAT IS THE DOD INDIAN INCENTIVE PROGRAM?

The Department of Defense (DoD) Indian Incentive Program (IIP) is designed to encourage the use of Indian Organizations and Indian-Owned Economic Enterprises by providing an incentive to prime and sub-tier contractors who subcontract with Indian Organizations and Indian-Owned Economic Enterprises. The program is managed and fully funded by the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization (SADBU) Office. Contracting activities do not need to provide any funding for this program. Once approved, the contract is modified to authorize payment of the incentive.

THE INCENTIVE

The program allows prime and sub-tier contractors to receive a rebate of 5% of the total amount paid to Indian Organizations and Indian-Owned Economic Enterprise subcontractors. Prime and sub-tier contractors must formally request the rebate by submitting a letter to the contracting officer along with supporting documentation proving the amount paid to Indian Organizations/Enterprises.
