The "BUY AMERICA ACT CERTIFICATION" form is a crucial document for bidders and offerors participating in government solicitations. It requires certification of whether end products qualify as U.S. domestic commercial products. If not, the form mandates disclosure of excluded end products, a certification that all other products are domestic source end products with no components of unknown origin mined, produced, or manufactured outside the United States, and an estimated percentage of foreign content along with the country of origin. This certification ensures compliance with the Buy American Act provisions and becomes part of the offeror's quotation upon signature.
