About this file

This is FAR provision 52.225-2, the Buy American Certificate form (dated October 2022), which is associated with a Sources Sought notice for an Inverted Microscope System at the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The certificate requires offerors to certify that their end products are domestic and contain critical components, except for any foreign end products that must be listed separately along with their country of origin and whether they exceed 55% domestic content.

The form requires three key certifications: 1) identification of any foreign end products manufactured in the U.S. that don't qualify as domestic, 2) indication of whether non-iron/steel foreign products exceed 55% domestic content, and 3) separate listing of domestic end products containing critical components. The form includes blank tables for listing foreign end products (with columns for line item number, country of origin, and domestic content percentage) and domestic end products with critical components. This certification would be required as part of any future solicitation for the microscope system procurement.
