GSA Seeks Feedback on Certifying Your Stuff as American-Made
Published Date: 9/21/2026
Notice
Summary
The General Services Administration (GSA) is asking for public feedback on a new voluntary form that helps companies certify their products as made in the USA when selling on the GSA Federal Supply Schedule. This change affects businesses that want to highlight their domestic products and aims to make the certification process clearer and easier. Comments are open until November 20, 2026, with no new costs announced yet.
Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 2 costs, 0 mixed.
Executive Order Enforcement and Reporting Risk
The new collection supports Executive Order 14392, which requires agencies to review 'Made in America' product claims and report false representations to the Department of Justice. Information submitted under the voluntary clause will allow GSA to meet that mandate.
Voluntary 'Made in USA' Certification Form
GSA is proposing a voluntary form (GSAR clause 552.238-130) that lets contractors on the Federal Supply Schedule certify products as FSS domestic end products. The fillable table asks for product name, manufacturer part number, and manufacturer name so businesses can highlight domestic products when selling to the federal government.
Paperwork Burden for Voluntary Certification
GSA estimates the public reporting burden for the voluntary GSAR clause 552.238-130 at 0.5 hours per response, with a projected 18,255 total annual responses and 9,128 total annual burden hours. Comments on the information collection are being accepted through November 20, 2026.
