BUY AMERICA REQUIREMENTS
49 U.S.C. 5323(j)
49 CFR Part 661
The Buy America requirements apply to the following types of contracts: Construction Contracts
and Acquisition of Goods or Rolling Stock (valued at more than $150,000).
The Buy America requirements flow down from FTA recipients and subrecipients to first tier
Contractors, who are responsible for ensuring that lower tier contractors and subcontractors are
in compliance. The $150,000 threshold applies only to the grantee contract. Subcontracts under
that amount are subject to Buy America.
Buy America
This Contract is subject to the Federal Transit Administration's (FTA's) Buy America requirements
in 49 CFR Part 661 and 49 U.S.C. 5323 (j). The Contractor agrees to abide by its Buy America
Certificate submitted with its bid/proposal.
The contractor agrees to comply with 49 U.S.C. 5323(j) and 49 C.F.R. Part 661, which provide that Federal
funds may not be obligated unless steel, iron, and manufactured products used in FTA-funded projects
are produced in the United States, unless a waiver has been granted by FTA or the product is subject to a
general waiver. General waivers are listed in 49 CFR 661.7, and include final assembly in the United States

A bidder/proposer must submit to the State the appropriate Buy America certification (below) with all
bids/proposals on FTA-funded contracts, except those subject to a general waiver. A bid/proposal that is
not accompanied by a completed Buy America certification must be rejected as non-responsive. This
requirement does not apply to lower tier subcontractors.
Compliance with FTA’s Buy America requirements shall be deemed to satisfy 2 CFR § 200.322, “Domestic
Preferences for Procurements”.

The Fly America requirements apply to the transportation of persons or property, by air, between a place
in the U.S. and a place outside the U.S., or between places outside the U.S., when the FTA will participate
in the costs of such air transportation. Transportation on a foreign air carrier is permissible when provided
by a foreign air carrier under a code share agreement when the ticket identifies the U.S. air carrier's
designator code and flight number. Transportation by a foreign air carrier is also permissible if there is a
bilateral or multilateral air transportation agreement to which the U.S. Government and a foreign
government are parties and which the Federal DOT has determined meets the requirements of the Fly
America Act.
The Fly America requirements flow down from FTA recipients and subrecipients to first tier contractors,
who are responsible for ensuring that lower tier contractors and subcontractors are in compliance.

GOVERNMENT-WIDE DEBARMENT AND SUSPENSION
2 CFR Part 180
2 CFR Part 1200
2 CFR Parts 180 and 1200 prohibit FTA recipients and sub-recipients from contracting for goods and
services from organizations that have been suspended or debarred from receiving Federally-assisted
contracts. As part of their applications each year, recipients are required to submit a certification to the
effect that they will not enter into contracts over $25,000 with suspended or debarred Contractors and
that they will require their Contractors (and their subcontractors) to make the same certification to them.
Contractors are also required to confirm whether a prospective lower-tier participant is debarred or
suspended.
Contractors are required to pass this requirement on to subcontractors seeking subcontracts over
$25,000. Thus, the terms "lower tier covered participant" and "lower tier covered transaction" include
both Contractors and subcontractors and contracts and subcontracts over $25,000.
Debarment and Suspension
This Contract is subject to the Federal Transit Administration's (FTA's) debarment and suspension
requirements in 2 CFR Parts 180 and 1200. The Contractor agrees to abide by the following certifications
submitted with its bid/proposal: "Certification of Contractor Regarding Debarment, Suspension, and
Other Responsibility Matters"; "Certification of Contractor Regarding Debarment, Suspension, Ineligibility
and Voluntary Exclusion - Lower Tier Covered Transaction"; and corresponding certifications for
subcontractors. The Contractor also agrees to (i) confirm whether a prospective participant in a lower tier
covered transaction is debarred or suspended by checking the exclusion records maintained by the U.S.
General Service Administration at https://www.sam.gov/SAM/pages/public/searchRecords/search.jsf;
and (ii) pass on the same requirement to prospective lower tier participants.

affect the Federal Government emerges, the Recipient must promptly notify the FTA Chief
Counsel and FTA Regional Counsel for the Region in which the Recipient is located. The Recipient
must include a similar notification requirement in its Third Party Agreements and must require
each Third Party Participant to include an equivalent provision in its subagreements at every tier,
for any agreement that is a “covered transaction” according to 2 C.F.R. §§ 180.220 and 1200.220.
(1) The types of legal matters that require notification include, but are not limited to, a major
dispute, breach, default, litigation, or naming the Federal Government as a party to
litigation or a legal disagreement in any forum for any reason.
(2) Matters that may affect the Federal Government include, but are not limited to, the
Federal Government’s interests in the Award, the accompanying Underlying Agreement,
and any Amendments thereto, or the Federal Government’s administration or
enforcement of federal laws, regulations, and requirements.

or civil violation of law pertaining to such matters as fraud, conflict of interest, bid rigging,
misappropriation or embezzlement, bribery, gratuity, or similar misconduct involving
federal assistance. This responsibility occurs whether the Project is subject to this
Agreement or another agreement between the Recipient and FTA, or an agreement
involving a principal, officer, employee, agent, or Third Party Participant of the Recipient.
It also applies to subcontractors at any tier. Knowledge, as used in this paragraph,
includes, but is not limited to, knowledge of a 95 criminal or civil investigation by a
Federal, state, or local law enforcement or other investigative agency, a criminal
indictment or civil complaint, or probable cause that could support a criminal indictment,
