This section gives credit toward Defense subcontracting goals for qualifying Indian-land work and Indian-owned joint ventures.
(a) If a Defense Department contract has a subcontracting goal under Small Business Act section 8(d), credit toward the goal must be given for work on the contract or its subcontracts that is performed on Indian lands and meets subsection (b)(1), and for a contract or subcontract performed by a qualifying joint venture under subsection (b)(2). (b)(1) Work on Indian lands qualifies if at least 40% of directly engaged workers are Indians, or the contractor has an agreement with the responsible tribal government setting training and development goals for Indian workers and management. (2) A joint venture qualifies if an Indian tribe or tribally owned corporation owns at least 50%, the work creates Indian employment directly or through purchases for the work, and the tribe or corporation manages performance. (c) Credit equals the value of qualifying work, or for a joint venture, the contract amount multiplied by the tribe’s or corporation’s ownership percentage. (d) The Defense Secretary must issue implementing regulations. (e) “Indian lands,” “Indian,” and “Indian tribe” have the meanings in the cited statutes. “Tribally owned corporation” means a corporation entirely owned by an Indian tribe.
Subject to subsections (b) and (c), in any case in which a subcontracting goal is specified in a Department of Defense contract in the implementation of section 8(d) of the Small Business Act (15 U.S.C. 637(d)), credit toward meeting that subcontracting goal shall be given for—
work performed in connection with that Department of Defense contract, and work performed in connection with any subcontract awarded under that Department of Defense contract, if such work is performed on any Indian lands and meets the requirements of paragraph (1) of subsection (b); or
work performed in connection with that Department of Defense contract, and work performed in connection with any subcontract awarded under that Department of Defense contract, if the performance of such contract or subcontract is undertaken as a joint venture that meets the requirements of paragraph (2) of that subsection.
Work performed on Indian lands meets the requirements of this paragraph if—
not less than 40 percent of the workers directly engaged in the performance of the work are Indians; or
the contractor or subcontractor has an agreement with the tribal government having jurisdiction over such Indian lands that provides goals for training and development of the Indian workforce and Indian management.
A joint venture undertaking to perform a contract or subcontract meets the requirements of this paragraph if—
an Indian tribe or tribally owned corporation owns at least 50 percent of the joint venture;
the activities of the joint venture under the contract or subcontract provide employment opportunities for Indians either directly or through the purchase of products or services for the performance of such contract or subcontract; and
the Indian tribe or tribally owned corporation manages the performance of such contract or subcontract.
The amount of the credit given toward the attainment of any subcontracting goal under subsection (a) shall be—
in the case of work performed as described in subsection (a)(1), the value of the work performed; and
in the case of a contract or subcontract undertaken to be performed by a joint venture as described in subsection (a)(2), an amount equal to the amount of the contract or subcontract multiplied by the percentage of the tribe’s or tribally owned corporation’s ownership interest in the joint venture.
The Secretary of Defense shall prescribe regulations for the implementation of this section.
