RE: Compliance with Domestic Content Regulations, including Buy American Act

ASC Profiles LLC certifies that its ASC Building Products’ products are manufactured in the United States and can comply with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) provisions applicable to government acquisitions governed by the Buy American Act of 1933, as amended on January 25, 2021, as well as other domestic content regulations.

The final FAR changes increase the domestic content requirements of most “domestic construction materials” and “domestic end products” from 50% to 95% as a percentage of total raw materials costs.

ASC Building Products can provide steel that complies with domestic content compliance regulations. However, we must be informed when requesting a quote if the order must comply with any domestic content regulations, as additional lead times and costs may apply. Please specify that domestic steel is required and clearly indicate this on the quote and purchase order.

ASC Building Products quotations can also include incidental components that may not be manufactured in the United States. These incidental components are low-cost items like flashings, fasteners, or profile closures, representing a very small percentage of the total cost of materials delivered by ASC Building Products. Although the exact product list may not be known when the bid is submitted, the expectation is that the cost of components manufactured outside the United States would be between 0% and 5% of the total cost of materials. These components may be subject to commercially available off-the-shelf (COTS) item exceptions or qualify for a non-availability waiver under applicable domestic content regulations.

Please notify your ASC Building Products Representative when requesting a quote if your project must comply with any domestic content regulations.
