ST-2 STEEL ORIGIN CERTIFICATION:

NON-IDENTIFIABLE, NON-STRUCTURAL STEEL

This form must be executed by the Purchaser and the Fabricator of any item containing steel that is not structural steel. This form must be submitted to the APM within 30 days from the date the Professional approved a submittal listing a “steel product”. No steel product may be delivered on-site unless DGS has received the ST form. Structural steel is defined as steel products used as a basic structural element or a project (i.e. steel beams, columns, decking stairways, reinforcing bars, pipes, etc.). Purchasers of structural steel products (contractors or subcontractors) must provide bills of lading, invoices and mill certifications that the steel was manufactured in the United States instead of this form. The Fabricator shall be herein defined as the firm that assembles the component parts of the product to be purchased. The Department of General Services will accept the certification of firms that are earlier in the chain of purchase (i.e.

manufacturers of components, steel suppliers) in lieu of the Fabricator.
