Buy American Certificate FAR 52.225.pdf

This document is a federal contracting clause template for the "Buy American Certificate" requirement (October 2022 version) prescribed under FAR 25.1101(a)(2).

The clause requires the Offeror to certify that all end products, with specified exceptions, are domestic end products containing critical components. The Offeror must list as foreign end products those manufactured in the United States that do not qualify as domestic end products, and must indicate whether such foreign end products exceed 55 percent domestic content (excluding COTS items), selecting "no" if the percentage is unknown. Additionally, the Offeror must separately list line item numbers of domestic end products that contain critical components. The document provides blank tables for documenting foreign end products (by line item number, country of origin, and domestic content threshold) and for listing domestic end products containing critical components. Terms including "commercially available off-the-shelf (COTS) item," "critical component," "domestic end product," "end product," and "foreign end product" are defined in the Buy American-Supplies clause referenced in the solicitation. Government evaluation of offers will follow the policies and procedures outlined in Part 25 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation.
