The Trade Agreements Certificate (FAR 52.225-6) outlines the requirements for offerors regarding the origin of end products in federal contracts. It mandates that offerors certify that all products, except those noted as exceptions, are either U.S.-made or from designated countries. Offerors must list any products that are neither of these as "other end products," including their country of origin. The Government evaluates proposals based on federal acquisition regulations and will prioritize offers for U.S.-made or designated country products, disregarding Buy American restrictions for products covered by the World Trade Organization Government Procurement Agreement (WTO GPA). The Government only considers awards for qualified offers, ensuring compliance with the relevant procurement statutes to fulfill solicitation requirements. This provision is essential in ensuring that federal procurements support domestic and designated country manufacturing within trade agreement frameworks.
