About this file
This document is a set of Required Federal Clauses detailing Buy America Requirements for Federal Transit Administration (FTA) funded contracts. The requirements apply to construction contracts and acquisition of goods or rolling stock valued at more than $150,000, with specific provisions mandating that steel, iron, and manufactured products used in FTA-funded projects must be produced in the United States, unless a waiver has been granted. For rolling stock, additional requirements include assembly in the United States and a minimum of 60% domestic content.
The document outlines mandatory certification processes for bidders and offerors, providing two certification templates: a Certificate of Compliance and a Certificate of Non-Compliance. Contractors must submit the appropriate Buy America certification with all bids or offers on FTA-funded contracts, with bids lacking a completed certification being rejected as nonresponsive. The requirements flow down from FTA recipients and subrecipients to first-tier contractors, who are responsible for ensuring lower-tier contractors and subcontractors also comply with these regulations. General waivers exist for certain products, including final assembly of 15-passenger vans, microcomputer equipment, and software.
