TRADE AGREEMENTS CERTIFICATE (FEB 2021).docx

This file is the Trade Agreements Certificate (FAR 52.225-6, February 2021), a standard federal contracting provision that establishes requirements for domestic content compliance in government procurement. The provision requires offerors to certify that each end product supplied is either U.S.-made or a designated country end product, as defined in the solicitation's Trade Agreements clause. Offerors must list any supplies that do not meet these criteria as "other end products" and identify their country of origin. The Government will evaluate offers in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation Part 25 and will consider for award only those offers containing U.S.-made or designated country end products, unless the Contracting Officer determines that no such offers exist or that available offers are insufficient to meet solicitation requirements. For line items covered by the World Trade Organization Government Procurement Agreement (WTO GPA), the Government will evaluate compliant offers without regard to Buy American statute restrictions.
