contract preference requirements set out herein shall apply to:
i.
All contracts and sub-contracts which are not Direct Federal or Federally funded
contracts; and
ii.

and which are covered by Section 7(b) of the Indian Self Determination Act, P.L.
93-638, 25 U.S.C. 45(e) (b).
In granting such preference, the following order shall be adhered to:
i.
Local Indian-owned Businesses.
ii.
Other Indian-owned Businesses.
b) Any Business or Indian-owned Business may bid as a supplier, prime contractor or
subcontractor on the Reservation, but shall not submit bids for a sub-contract or to be
supplier if bidding on the prime contract and shall sign a non—collusive statement for each
contract.
c) The Tribal employment Rights Office shall maintain a list of tribally-owned, locally Indianowned and Indian-owned businesses which shall be supplied to the employers for their use.
On all contracts of $75,000 or over, employers shall provide an approved INDIAN
CONTRACTING UTILIZATION PLAN which shall conform to the Indian Preference
Contracting/sub-contracting rules and regulations contained in this Ordinance and must
provide documentation to:
i.
How Indian and local Indian Preference Bids were solicited; and
ii.
Who was awarded the contract; and
iii.
Why each contractor was awarded said contract.
d) On all contracts $75,000 or over, no employer may commence work on the Spokane
Reservation until it has submitted a Commission-approved INDIAN CONTRACTING
