The "BUY AMERICA ACT CERTIFICATION" form is a critical document for bidders and offerors involved in government procurement, ensuring compliance with the Buy American Act. It requires certification that all end products are U.S. domestic commercial products. If not, the form mandates disclosure of excluded end products, detailed in accordance with FAR Part 25.104.
