BUY AMERICAN CERTIFICATION

As required by the Buy American provision, all products must be of domestic origin as required by 7 CFR Part

210.21(d). The District participates in the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program and

is required to use the nonprofit food service funds, to the maximum extent practical, to buy domestic

commodities or products for Program meals. A “domestic commodity or product” is defined as one that is

either produced in the U.S. or is processed in the U.S. substantially using agricultural commodities that are

produced in the U.S. as provided in 7 CFR Part 210.21(d). “Substantially” means that over 51 percent of the

final processed product consists of agricultural commodities that were grown domestically.

Exceptions to the Buy American provision should be used as a last resort; however, an alternative or exception

may be approved upon request. To be considered for the alternative or exception, the request must be

submitted in writing to a designated HISD official, a minimum of 5 day(s) in advance of delivery. The request

must include the:

a) Alternative substitute(s) that are domestic and meet the required specifications:

i. Price of the domestic food alternative substitute(s); and

ii. Availability of the domestic alternative substitute(s) in relation to the quantity ordered.

b) Reason for exception: limited/lack of availability or price (include price):

i. Price of the domestic food product; and

ii. Price of the non-domestic product that meets the required specification of the domestic product.

If requested by HISD, Vendor agrees to provide certification of the domestic content in the parts, components,

and other elements contained in the product, including specific information about the percentage of U.S.

content from the supplier (i.e., manufacturer or distributor). In the event Vendor or Vendor’s supplier(s) are

unable or unwilling to make such certification, HISD may decide not to purchase from Vendor. HISD may also

require country of origin on all products and invoices submitted for payment by Vendor, and Vendor agrees

to comply with any such requirement.

Vendor certifies that:

a) in compliance with the Buy American provision, its products are domestic commodities or products as

defined by 7 CFR Part 210.21(d); and

b) it shall submit any request for an exception from the Buy American Provision in good faith and with the

reasonable belief that: (a) the product is not produced or manufactured in the U.S. in sufficient and

reasonable available quantities of a satisfactory quality; and/or (b) the costs of a U.S. product are

significantly higher than the non-domestic product.

REQUIRED CONTRACT PROVISIONS FOR NON-FEDERAL ENTITY CONTRACTS UNDER FEDERAL

AWARDS - APPENDIX II TO 2 CFR PART 200

(A) Contracts for more than the simplified acquisition threshold currently set at $150,000, which is the

inflation adjusted amount determined by the Civilian Agency Acquisition Council and the Defense

Acquisition Regulations Council (Councils) as authorized by 41 U.S.C. 1908, must address administrative,

contractual, or legal remedies in instances where contractors violate or breach contract terms, and provide

for such sanctions and penalties as appropriate.

privileges under the applicable laws and regulations with respect to this procurement in the event of

breach of contract by either party.

Does Vendor agree? YES ________ Initials of Authorized Representative of Vendor

(B) Termination for cause and for convenience by the grantee or sub-grantee including how it will be

affected and the basis for settlement. (All contracts in excess of $10,000)

Pursuant to Federal Rule (B) above, when HISD expends federal funds, HISD reserves the right to

immediately terminate any agreement in excess of $10,000 resulting from this procurement process in the

event of a breach or default of the agreement by Vendor in the event Vendor fails to: (1) meet schedules,

deadlines, and/or delivery dates within the time specified in the procurement solicitation, contract, and/or

a purchase order; (2) make any payments owed; or (3) otherwise perform in accordance with the contract

and/or the procurement solicitation. HISD also reserves the right to terminate the contract immediately,

with written notice to vendor, for convenience, if HISD believes, in its sole discretion that it is in the best

interest of HISD to do so. Vendor will be compensated for work performed and accepted and goods

accepted by HISD as of the termination date if the contract is terminated for convenience of HISD. Any

award under this procurement process is not exclusive and HISD reserves the right to purchase goods

and services from other vendors when it is in HISD’s best interest.


(C) Equal Employment Opportunity. Except as otherwise provided under 41 CFR Part 60, all contracts that

meet the definition of “federally assisted construction contract” in 41 CFR Part 60-1.3 must include the equal

opportunity clause provided under 41 CFR 60-1.4(b), in accordance with Executive Order 11246, “Equal

Employment Opportunity” (30 FR 12319, 12935, 3 CFR Part, 1964-1965 Comp., p. 339), as amended by

Executive Order 11375, “Amending Executive Order 11246 Relating to Equal Employment Opportunity,”

and implementing regulations at 41 CFR part 60, “Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs, Equal

Employment Opportunity, Department of Labor.”

Pursuant to Federal Rule (C) above, when HISD expends federal funds on any federally assisted

construction contract, the equal opportunity clause is incorporated by reference herein.

Does Vendor agree to abide by the above? YES ________ Initials of Authorized Representative of Vendor

(D) Davis-Bacon Act, as amended (40 U.S.C. 3141-3148). When required by Federal program legislation, all

prime construction contracts in excess of $2,000 awarded by non-Federal entities must include a provision

for compliance with the Davis-Bacon Act (40 U.S.C. 3141-3144, and 3146-3148) as supplemented by

Department of Labor regulations (29 CFR Part 5, “Labor Standards Provisions Applicable to Contracts


Page 12 of 24

Covering Federally Financed and Assisted Construction”). In accordance with the statute, contractors must

be required to pay wages to laborers and mechanics at a rate not less than the prevailing wages specified in

a wage determination made by the Secretary of Labor. In addition, contractors must be required to pay

wages not less than once a week. The non-Federal entity must place a copy of the current prevailing wage

determination issued by the Department of Labor in each solicitation. The decision to award a contract or

subcontract must be conditioned upon the acceptance of the wage determination. The non-Federal entity

must report all suspected or reported violations to the Federal awarding agency. The contracts must also

include a provision for compliance with the Copeland “Anti-Kickback” Act (40 U.S.C. 3145), as

supplemented by Department of Labor regulations (29 CFR Part 3, “Contractors and Subcontractors on

Public Building or Public Work Financed in Whole or in Part by Loans or Grants from the United States”).

The Act provides that each contractor or sub-recipient must be prohibited from inducing, by any means,

any person employed in the construction, completion, or repair of public work, to give up any part of the

compensation to which he or she is otherwise entitled. The non-Federal entity must report all suspected or

reported violations to the Federal awarding agency.

Pursuant to Federal Rule (D) above, when HISD expends federal funds during the term of an award for

all contracts and sub-grants for construction or repair, Vendor will be in compliance with all applicable

Davis-Bacon Act provisions.


(E) Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act (40 U.S.C. 3701-3708). Where applicable, all contracts

awarded by the non-Federal entity in excess of $100,000 that involve the employment of mechanics or

laborers must include a provision for compliance with 40 U.S.C. 3702 and 3704, as supplemented by

Department of Labor regulations (29 CFR Part 5). Under 40 U.S.C. 3702 of the Act, each contractor must be

required to compute the wages of every mechanic and laborer based on a standard work week of 40 hours.

Work in excess of the standard work week is permissible provided that the worker is compensated at a rate

of not less than one and a half times the basic rate of pay for all hours worked in excess of 40 hours in the

work week. The requirements of 40 U.S.C. 3704 are applicable to construction work and provide that no

laborer or mechanic must be required to work in surroundings or under working conditions which are

unsanitary, hazardous or dangerous. These requirements do not apply to the purchases of supplies or

materials or articles ordinarily available on the open market, or contracts for transportation or transmission

of intelligence.

Pursuant to Federal Rule (E) above, when HISD expends federal funds, Vendor certifies that Vendor will

be in compliance with all applicable provisions of the Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act

during the term of an award for all contracts by HISD resulting from this procurement process.


(F) Rights to Inventions Made Under a Contract or Agreement. If the Federal award meets the definition of

“funding agreement” under 37 CFR §401.2 (a) and the recipient or sub-recipient wishes to enter into a

contract with a small business firm or nonprofit organization regarding the substitution of parties,

assignment or performance of experimental, developmental, or research work under that “funding

agreement,” the recipient or sub-recipient must comply with the requirements of 37 CFR Part 401, “Rights

to Inventions Made by Nonprofit Organizations and Small Business Firms Under Government Grants,

Contracts and Cooperative Agreements,” and any implementing regulations issued by the awarding agency.

Pursuant to Federal Rule (F) above, when federal funds are expended by HISD, Vendor certifies that

during the term of an award for all contracts by HISD resulting from this procurement process, Vendor

agrees to comply with all applicable requirements as referenced in Federal Rule (F) above.
