The “BUY AMERICA ACT CERTIFICATION” form ensures compliance with the Buy American Act for federal procurements. Bidders must certify if their end products are U.S. domestic commercial products. If not, they must detail excluded products per FAR Part 25.104 and certify that other end products are of domestic origin, with no components of unknown origin. For non-domestic content, bidders must estimate the percentage of foreign content (within ±5% accuracy) and specify the country of origin. This certification, signed by the offeror, becomes a binding part of their quotation, ensuring transparency and adherence to domestic sourcing requirements in government contracts.

The "GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR FIXED PRICE COMMERCIAL SUPPLIES AND SERVICES" (August 2023) outlines the contractual framework for acquiring commercial products and services on a fixed-price basis by the Board of Trustees of the Leland Stanford Jr. University, acting through SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory (Buyer), from a Seller. The document details definitions, scope, agreement precedence, seller acceptance, service responsibilities, key personnel, title and risk, packaging, technical data approval, travel, invoicing, payments, taxes, inspection, quality standards, warranties, liability limitations, indemnity, confidentiality, material breach, assignment, independent contractor status, permits, applicable laws, dispute resolution, export control, and publicity. It also incorporates numerous Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and Department of Energy Acquisition Regulation (DEAR) clauses by reference, with applicability often tied to subcontract value thresholds or specific conditions (e.g., hazardous materials, foreign purchases, small business concerns, or on-site work). The document emphasizes compliance, quality, and the Buyer's oversight throughout the subcontract lifecycle.
