Indian Economic Enterprise Set-Aside

Answers are computed from FPDS-NG transactions distributed via USAspending.gov. Figures reflect the most recent SmartSync run, refreshed every six hours.

What is the Indian Economic Enterprise (IEE) set-aside?

Indian Economic Enterprise set-aside, the larger-business companion to ISBEE under the Buy Indian Act. Federal contracting performance for the Indian Economic Enterprise set-aside (FPDS code IEE). Companion to ISBEE under the Buy Indian Act (25 U.S.C. § 47), reserving contracts for federally recognized tribal-owned enterprises that exceed small-business size standards. Used primarily by the U.S. Department of the Interior and the Indian Health Service. The contracting officer records the IEE value on each FPDS-NG transaction at award time under FAR 19.5; GovChime preserves the code verbatim and aggregates obligations by IEE.

How much have agencies obligated under code IEE in FY2026 YTD through September 12, 2026?

For FY2026 YTD through September 12, 2026, agencies obligated $3.08M under this code across 47 contracts. GovChime sums federalActionObligation across prime-contract transactions whose typeOfSetAsideCode equals IEE, net of deobligations. Source: FPDS-NG distributed via USAspending.gov; refreshed every six hours. Current-FY figures are year-to-date and not directly comparable to a fiscal-year-close SBA scorecard.

Which statutory goal does IEE count toward?

Code IEE is administered under the Buy Indian Act authority rather than a 15 U.S.C. § 644(g) sub-goal. Authority: 25 U.S.C. § 47; 25 U.S.C. § 47-1. Obligations under this code may still be reported on the SBA Procurement Scorecard where the awardee independently qualifies as a small business under the relevant size standard.

Which other set-aside codes are related to IEE?

Within the same scorecard family, the related codes are ISBEE (Indian Small Business Economic Enterprise), BI (Buy Indian). Each carries its own typeOfSetAsideCode value on FPDS-NG transactions; agencies elect the specific code at award time under FAR 19.5. GovChime's main /analytics/set-aside page renders the full 18-code rollup and a Total Small Business comparison against the 23% statutory goal under 15 U.S.C. § 644(g).

Who are the top recipients of IEE contracts?

The top-ranked recipient under code IEE is TRIBAL TECH LLC at $1.99M in obligations. GovChime ranks recipients by total obligated dollars (federalActionObligation summed by contractAwardUniqueKey, net of deobligations) for FY2026 YTD through September 12, 2026. Rankings refresh every six hours. Recipients are tracked at the Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) level — Leidos Holdings, Leidos Inc., and Leidos Innovations would appear on separate rows. Current-FY figures are year-to-date and not directly comparable to a fiscal-year-close SBA scorecard.

How is the year-over-year change for IEE calculated?

Obligations under this code fell 76.2% versus the prior fiscal year. The formula is (current_period − prior_period) / prior_period × 100, computed on obligated dollars for code IEE only. When the prior fiscal year shows zero obligations under the code (common for low-volume sole-source codes), GovChime suppresses the YoY pill rather than emit a divide-by-zero result.

Why might IEE totals differ from the SBA Procurement Scorecard?

SBA's official Procurement Scorecard applies additional FAR 19 exclusions to its goal-eligible base — Foreign Military Sales (FMS) orders, sub-$10K micro-purchases, mandatory-source acquisitions, certain utilities, and direct 8(a) sole-source orders awarded by SBA itself. GovChime aggregates raw FPDS-NG transactions where typeOfSetAsideCode equals IEE. Combined with year-to-date timing in current-FY views vs. fiscal-year-close in SBA's report, methodology differences typically widen GovChime's denominator and shift the apparent achievement percentage relative to the SBA scorecard.
