    Buy American Act Certificate - 52.225-2.pdf
    The "Buy American Certificate (Oct 2022) (FAR 52.225-2)" provision outlines certification requirements for offerors regarding the domestic content of their end products in government procurements. Offerors must certify which end products are domestic, identify foreign end products and their domestic content percentage (if applicable and not COTS items), and list domestic end products containing critical components. The document defines key terms like "domestic end product" and "foreign end product." The government will evaluate offers based on Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) part 25 policies and procedures, ensuring compliance with Buy American Act requirements. This provision is crucial for contractors bidding on federal projects, as it dictates how products are classified and evaluated based on their origin and domestic content.
