The Buy American Act Certification document is part of the federal procurement process, requiring bidders to certify whether their end products are U.S. domestic commercial products. If a product does not qualify, the bidder must provide detailed information in sections (A), (B), and (C). Section A addresses any excluded end products, while Section B requires the bidder to affirm that all products, except specified exceptions, are sourced domestically and contain no components of unknown origin from overseas. Bidders must also estimate the percentage of foreign content in their offerings, providing the country of origin. The document emphasizes the importance of domestic sourcing in government contracts, reflecting compliance with the Buy American Act and ensuring transparency in the procurement process. The signer confirms that the representations and certifications submitted become part of their quoted bid.
