Abstract: The Contracting Officer must include the Federal Acquisition Regulation provision 52.222-18 in all solicitations expected to exceed the micropurchase threshold for end products (regardless of country of origin) of a type identified by country on the DoL List of Products Requiring Contractor Certification as to Forced or Indentured Child Labor. This information collection requirement pertains to the certification that the offeror will not supply an end product on the List from a country identified on the List for that product, or the offeror will supply such product, but certifies that the offeror made a good faith effort to determine whether forced or indentured child labor was used to mine, produce, or manufacture any product furnished under the contract and is unaware of any such use of child labor.
