Indian Incentive Program Participant
The Indian Incentive Program (IIP) is a federal initiative designed to encourage government contractors to utilize Indian-owned businesses as subcontractors.
Administered by the Department of Defense (DoD), the program provides a 5% rebate to prime contractors on the total amount subcontracted to Native American-owned firms. This incentive promotes economic development and growth within Native American communities by increasing their participation in federal contracting.
By supporting Indian-owned businesses, the IIP fosters greater diversity and inclusion in the federal procurement process.
