DOMESTIC WORKFORCE UTILIZATION CERTIFICATION FOR MULTIPLE AWARD CONTRACTS

To the extent permitted by the laws and treaties of the United States, this certification will be used by the Agency in making a best value selection for each particular assignment. Each quote will be evaluated for its commitment to use the domestic workforce in the fulfillment of the contract. Maximum consideration will be given to those suppliers who will perform the contracted direct labor exclusively within the geographical boundaries of the United States or within the geographical boundaries of a country that is a party to the World Trade Organization Government Procurement Agreement. Those who propose to perform a portion of the direct labor outside of the United States and not within the geographical boundaries of a party to the World Trade Organization Government Procurement Agreement will receive a correspondingly smaller score for this criterion. In order to be eligible for any consideration for this criterion, suppliers must complete and sign the following certification. This certification will be included as a contractual obligation when the contract is executed. Failure to complete and sign this certification will result in no consideration being given to the supplier for this criterion.
