Buy American Certificate FAR 52.225.pdf

This document is a federal contracting clause template for the "Buy American Certificate" requirement (FAR 52.225-2, October 2022 version).

The clause mandates that offerors certify that all end products, except those specifically listed, are domestic end products containing critical components. Offerors must separately identify any foreign end products manufactured in the United States that do not qualify as domestic, and indicate whether these products exceed 55 percent domestic content (with an exception for COTS items). Additionally, offerors must separately list line item numbers for domestic end products containing critical components. The clause references the "Buy American-Supplies" solicitation clause for definitions of key terms, including "domestically available off-the-shelf (COTS) item," "critical component," "domestic end product," "end product," and "foreign end product."

The template includes blank tables for offerors to complete: one table for identifying foreign end products by line item number, country of origin, and domestic content threshold information, and another table to list line item numbers of domestic end products containing critical components. The government will evaluate offers in accordance with FAR Part 25 policies and procedures. This is a standard template provision for inclusion in federal solicitations where Buy American compliance is required.
