The certification emphasizes that all products must be sourced domestically, in accordance with the Buy American Act, which aims to support U.S. manufacturers and ensure that federal funds bolster the domestic economy. The form concludes with a signature section, affirming the offeror's compliance and acknowledgment of the certification's stipulations. This certification is essential in the context of federal RFPs to promote transparency and accountability in government spending.
