52.225-6 TRADE AGREEMENTS CERTIFICATE.docx

This is a Trade Agreements Certificate provision (FAR 52.225-6) that establishes certification requirements for end products in federal procurements subject to trade agreement restrictions.

The provision requires offerors to certify that each end product is either U.S.-made or a designated country end product, except for those items specifically listed as exceptions. Offerors must identify any supplies that do not meet these criteria by listing the line item number and country of origin. The Government will evaluate offers according to Part 25 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation and will only consider offers for U.S.-made or designated country end products for award, unless the Contracting Officer determines that no acceptable offers exist for such products or that available offers are insufficient to meet solicitation requirements. For line items covered by the World Trade Organization Government Procurement Agreement (WTO GPA), offers of U.S.-made or designated country end products will be evaluated without regard to Buy American statute restrictions.
