The certificate serves as a contractor's written representation and certification regarding the country of origin for materials, components, and end products being supplied under the contract. The form requires the contractor to certify whether the end product(s) being furnished are manufactured in the United States and to identify any foreign-origin materials or components included, along with a statement that such foreign materials have been incorporated in accordance with applicable Buy American Act requirements and exceptions. The certificate must be signed by an authorized representative of the contractor and submitted as part of the proposal response.
