The "Buy American Act Certification" document serves as a declaration by bidders or offerors to confirm compliance with the Buy American Act stipulations. It requires them to certify whether their products are U.S. domestic commercial products. If not, they must provide details in two sections: Section A outlines any excluded end products, while Section B mandates a certification that all components, excluding those explicitly listed, are domestically sourced and free from foreign content. Bidders must estimate the percentage of foreign content and disclose the country of origin. The certification culminates with the offeror's signature, affirming the truthfulness of the submitted information. This certification is essential in the context of federal RFPs, grants, and contracts, underscoring the federal government's commitment to supporting domestic industries and sourcing practices while ensuring transparency in procurement processes.
