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 SAM.gov. 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 SAM.gov, access funding opportunities and 
execute procurements. GSA representatives would also like to discuss 
the registration and renewal processes, requirements, and user 
experience on the SAM.gov system. We are also interested in getting 
input surrounding GSA's SAM.gov 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

    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
