The Buy America Act Certification serves as an essential component of federal procurement, ensuring that bid submitters verify the domestic status of the products they offer. It requires bidders to confirm whether each end product qualifies as a U.S. domestic commercial product. If a product is not entirely domestic, bidders must provide details in Sections A and B regarding any excluded products or components of foreign origin, including an estimate of foreign content percentage and its country of origin. The certification requires the offeror's signature, alongside their printed name, title, and company name, effectively incorporating these representations into their quotation. This document emphasizes compliance with the Buy American Act provisions, highlighting the federal government's commitment to supporting domestic manufacturing and controlling foreign dependencies in the supply chain.
