FAR and DFARS › FAR Part 52: Solicitation Provisions and Contract Clauses › Subpart 52.2

FAR 52.225-6 Trade Agreements Certificate.

The codified text (eCFR, as of 2026-10-02). Under the Revolutionary FAR Overhaul ↗, agencies follow class deviations with new text for many parts while the formal rules go through the Federal Register: check the solicitation and your contract's clauses, which rule.

In plain English

This provision requires an offeror to certify that each end product is a U.S.-made or designated country end product, except for any supplies listed as 'other end products.' It matters because the Government will generally consider for award only offers of U.S.-made or designated country end products, unless the Contracting Officer determines no such offers exist or they are insufficient.

Applies to: Offerors responding to solicitations that include this provision

What it requires

  • Certify that each end product, except those listed in paragraph (b), is a U.S.-made or designated country end product
  • List as other end products those supplies that are not U.S.-made or designated country end products
