Buy American Certificate FAR 52.225.pdf

This document is a federal contracting clause template titled "Buy American Certificate" (October 2022) that establishes certification and disclosure requirements for offerors regarding domestic and foreign end products.

The clause requires the offeror to certify that each end product, with limited exceptions outlined in paragraph (b), is a domestic end product containing a critical component. The offeror must separately list foreign end products manufactured in the United States that do not qualify as domestic end products, and for those products not consisting wholly or predominantly of iron, steel, or combinations thereof, must indicate whether domestic content exceeds 55 percent (except for COTS items, for which "no" should be selected if the percentage is unknown). The offeror must also separately identify line item numbers of domestic end products containing critical components. Paragraph (b) provides a table format for listing foreign end products by line item number, country of origin, and whether they exceed 55 percent domestic content. Paragraph (c) requires listing line item numbers of domestic end products with critical components. The government will evaluate offers in accordance with Part 25 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation. This is a template provision with blank spaces to be completed as necessary by the contracting officer.
