EXHIBIT 19 - BUY AMERICA CERTIFICATE (STEEL, IRON, OR MANUFACTURED PRODUCTS).pdf

This is a Buy America Certificate form for state and local contract opportunities requiring compliance with federal procurement regulations. The document presents two certification options for bidders: the first certifies compliance with Title 49 USC 5323(j)(1), the Build America, Buy America Act (Sections 70901-52 of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, Public Law 117-58), and applicable regulations in 49 CFR Part 661; the second certifies non-compliance but potential eligibility for exceptions under Title 49 USC 5323(j)(2)(B) or (j)(2)(D) and 49 CFR 661.7. Both certificates require execution by an authorized official with signature, printed name, title, date, and location (city and state).

The form serves as a mandatory submission requirement for bidders on federally-funded infrastructure projects subject to Buy America provisions. Bidders must elect either full compliance or request exception consideration, with the certificate functioning as a binding attestation of the bidder's ability to meet domestic content requirements for steel, iron, and manufactured products. This documentation is essential for projects receiving funding through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and ensures adherence to domestic preference mandates established by federal law.
