Buy American Certificate FAR 52.225.pdf

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

The provision requires offerors to certify that each end product, with specified exceptions, is a domestic end product containing a critical component. Offerors must list foreign end products manufactured in the United States that do not qualify as domestic products, and for those not consisting wholly or predominantly of iron, steel, or their combination, must indicate whether domestic content exceeds 55 percent (except for COTS items, with "no" selected if content percentage is unknown). Offerors must separately list line item numbers of domestic end products containing critical components. The provision includes blank tables in section (b) for foreign end products (requiring line item number, country of origin, and domestic content percentage information) and section (c) for domestic end products with critical components (requiring line item numbers only). Government evaluation of offers will follow Federal Acquisition Regulation Part 25 policies and procedures. The provision is prescribed in FAR 25.1101(a)(2) and defines key terms including COTS items, critical components, domestic end products, end products, and foreign end products by reference to the "Buy American-Supplies" clause within the solicitation.
