This “Optional Buy America Preference Certification” is used to certify that, as required by the Build America, Buy America (BABA) Act, all of the iron, steel, manufactured products, and construction materials incorporated into an infrastructure project are produced in the United States, unless exempted by a HUD general waiver or a project-/product-specific waiver approved by the Made in America Office (MIAO) at the Office of Management and Budget (OMB).

For covered materials not otherwise exempted from the Buy America Preference (BAP), the undersigned certifies the following:

• All iron and steel used in the project are produced in the United States. This means all manufacturing processes, from the initial melting stage through the application of coatings, occurred in the United States;

• All manufactured products used in the project are produced in the United States. This means the manufactured product was manufactured in the United States, and the cost of the components of the manufactured product that are mined, produced, or manufactured in the United States is greater than 55 percent of the total cost of all components of the manufactured product, unless another standard that meets or exceeds this standard has been established under applicable law or regulation for determining the minimum amount of domestic content of the manufactured product;

• All construction materials used in the project are manufactured in the United States. This means that all manufacturing processes for the construction material occurred in the United States.

Attach a list of all covered materials procured by the signatory and used in the project.

I hereby certify this information is complete and accurate and agree to provide documentation collected on the country of origin for all covered materials I caused to be incorporated into or affixed to an infrastructure project to the CPD grantee and HUD upon request. I understand and agree that the provisions of 31 U.S.C. Chap. 38, Administrative Remedies for False Claims and Statements, apply to this certification and disclosure, if any.
