About this file
The document is a Buy American—Balance of Payments Program Certificate (Standard Form 252.225-7000), dated November 2014. It requires offerors to certify the origin of end products for a federal contract, specifically identifying whether products are domestic, from qualifying countries, or foreign. The provision mandates that offerors declare each end product's origin, with special consideration for non-commercial off-the-shelf (non-COTS) items. Offerors must disclose line items by their country of origin, with components of unknown origin presumed to be manufactured outside the United States or qualifying countries. The government will evaluate offers according to Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) Part 225 policies, with qualifying country end products evaluated without Buy American or Balance of Payments Program restrictions.
