About this file
This document is a federal contracting provision template for the Buy American–Balance of Payments Program Certificate, effective February 2024, as prescribed under Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) 225.1101.
The provision requires offerors to certify the country of origin and domestic content status of all end products subject to the Buy American and Balance of Payments Program restrictions. Offerors must identify end products as either domestic end products, qualifying country end products, or other foreign end products. For non-iron/steel foreign end products that are not commercially available off-the-shelf items, offerors must indicate whether domestic content exceeds 65 percent or state "no" if the percentage is unknown. Offerors must separately list line item numbers for domestic end products containing critical components or critical items, and identify the country of origin for qualifying country end products and other foreign end products. The Government will evaluate offers in accordance with DFARS Part 225 policies and will evaluate qualifying country end product offers without regard to Buy American statute or Balance of Payments Program restrictions. The certificate requires signature by an authorized company representative and includes fields for company name, signatory name, title, signature, and date. This is a template document used in solicitations to establish compliance requirements for government contractors.
