SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On behalf of the U.S. General Services Administration, I would like
to invite you to a government-to-government consultation to discuss
your interests, concerns, and suggestions surrounding GSA's support of
Tribes through its <a href="http://SAM.gov">SAM.gov</a> system. The consultation will take place
Wednesday, March 13, 2024,
[[Page 14070]]
from 2 through 4:20 p.m. PST at the Reservation Economic Summit (RES)
in Las Vegas, NV hosted by the National Center for American Indian
Enterprise Development (NCAIED).
GSA leadership understands that some members of Tribal communities
have experienced challenges with the entity registration and renewal
process using <a href="http://SAM.gov">SAM.gov</a>. Pursuant to the December 6, 2023 Executive order
on Reforming Federal Funding and Support for Tribal Nations to Better
Embrace Our Trust Responsibilities and Promote the Next Era of Tribal
Self-Determination, we recognize that formal consultation with Tribal
Nations is essential as GSA takes actions to improve Tribes' abilities
to efficiently navigate <a href="http://SAM.gov">SAM.gov</a>, access funding opportunities and
execute procurements. GSA representatives would also like to discuss
the registration and renewal processes, requirements, and user
experience on the <a href="http://SAM.gov">SAM.gov</a> system. We are also interested in getting
input surrounding GSA's <a href="http://SAM.gov">SAM.gov</a> Federal acquisitions website. Your
feedback during the consultation will be utilized to help GSA build a
tribal user specific strategic plan and inform appropriate process
improvements for both GSA and Tribal personnel to effectively do
business with the Government.
As stated in the Executive order, the Biden-Harris Administration
is ``committed to protecting and supporting Tribal sovereignty and
self-determination, and to honoring our trust and treaty obligations to
Tribal Nations.'' In order to increase the accessibility, equity,
flexibility, and utility of Federal funding and support programs for
Tribal Nations, GSA is committed to working on ways to streamline a
Tribe's ability to both receive funds from Government agencies and
procure Government goods and services.
In addition to participating in the in-person consultation
opportunity, GSA asks that you fill out a short, 10-question survey to
help inform our Tribal User Specific strategic plan. This survey is
also an opportunity to provide additional context in the comments
section to any issues, concerns, or suggestions. Our goals are to:
1. Understand the needs of Tribal Nations with respect to <a href="http://SAM.gov">SAM.gov</a>
purchasing.
2. Learn about the challenges that some Tribal Nations and Tribal
Entities have faced when registering on <a href="http://SAM.gov">SAM.gov</a>.
3. Learn about challenges that Tribal Nations face when procuring
goods or services and/or receiving funds through <a href="http://SAM.gov">SAM.gov</a>.
While registration for the RES 2024 event is not required to
participate, we do ask that you register for the consultation through
our website, or onsite, so that we can accurately identify the Tribal
representatives attending the meeting. Tribes can register for the
consultation and access the survey link on our website at <a href="http://gsa.gov/tribal">gsa.gov/tribal</a>.
These resources are intended to help Tribal leaders anticipate
discussion items for consultation and consider Tribal interests related
to the topics. The official comment period for this consultation will
remain open for 30 days after the in-person consultation session
occurs; however, our partnership with Tribal leadership will carry on.
Additional comments outside of the survey can be submitted via
email at <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#cdb9bfa4afaca1acababaca4bfbe8daabeace3aaa2bb"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="aedadcc7cccfc2cfc8c8cfc7dcddeec9ddcf80c9c1d8">[email protected]</span></a>. Please use the subject line ``GSA 2024
TRIBAL CONSULTATION COMMENTS SUBMISSION.''
I am committed to transparency and collaboration with Tribal
Governments, and I believe we can achieve positive outcomes for all
stakeholders through a government-to-government relationship that is
rooted in respect and earned trust.
Robin Carnahan,
GSA Administrator, General Services Administration.
