“Tribal entities need to comply with their own internal procurement policies when placing orders through GSA MAS vendors. For NAHASDA funds, Indian Preference applies and is subject to compliance audits by HUD. Several Indian-owned enterprises and Alaska Native Corporations are GSA MAS schedule holders and would meet the requirement of Indian Preference. Indian preference may or may not apply for BIA and IHS funds depending on what internal procurement policies a tribe has in place.”
