7-10 - Buy America Certificate.pdf

This is a Buy America Certificate form for equipment procurements under Federal Transit Administration (FTA) regulations, applicable to Citibus's Body Work & Accident Damage Repair contract opportunity in Texas. The certificate addresses compliance with Buy America requirements established under 49 U.S.C. 5323(j) and 49 CFR Part 661, which mandate that steel and manufactured products used in federally-funded contracts must be produced in the United States. Bidders responding to this procurement must complete one of two certification sections: either certify full compliance with Buy America requirements or declare non-compliance while claiming eligibility for an exception under specified regulatory provisions. The form requires the bidder's signature, printed name, type of entity, and position or title.

The certificate does not specify pricing terms, set-asides, contract duration, or renewal options, as it functions solely as a compliance attestation document. Bidders must select the appropriate certification section based on their ability to meet domestic content requirements. Those unable to comply must identify the specific regulatory exception under which they seek qualification. This document is a mandatory component of the procurement process and does not contain information regarding funding sources, award dates, or other substantive contract terms.
