BUY AMERICAN ACT CERTIFICATE 52.225-2.docx

This is a Buy American Act Certificate template (FAR 52.225-2) that requires offerors to certify the domestic or foreign origin of end products being supplied under a federal contract. The certificate mandates that offerors identify all end products as either domestic or foreign, with domestic end products defined as those meeting specified domestic content requirements. For foreign end products that do not consist wholly or predominantly of iron or steel, offerors must indicate whether they exceed 55 percent domestic content, unless the items are commercially available off-the-shelf (COTS) products. The template includes designated sections for listing foreign end products by line item number, country of origin, and domestic content percentage, as well as a separate section for identifying domestic end products containing critical components.
