In a world where supporting domestic industries has become increasingly important, the Form 25D-61 emerges as a pivotal document for contractors engaging with Federal-Aid Airport Contracts. This certificate, mandated by the State of Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities, serves to uphold the "Buy American" ethos. It ensures that, unless specifically listed otherwise, all steel and manufactured products used in the project are produced within the United States. The form delineates a clear process: contractors must list any exceptions directly on the form or attach a detailed list, accompanied by manufacturer's mill test reports to substantiate the Buy American Certification. Alongside its primary function, Form 25D-61 also provides a comprehensive list of materials and supplies that the U.S. Government acknowledges as not being produced domestically in sufficient quality or quantity. This list not only spans a gamut of items—from common raw materials like acetylene and cocoa beans to more specialized goods like microprocessor chips but also details specific petroleum products' definitions, shedding light on what constitutes crude oil, finished products, and more. Such thoroughness ensures transparency and compliance, guiding contractors through the intricate requirements of sourcing materials for their projects.

List of Supplies/Materials that the U.S. Government Has Determined Are Not Produced In the United States In Sufficient and Reasonably Available Quantities And of Sufficient Quality (Jan 1991) (CONTINUED)
Petroleum terms are used as follows:
“Crude oil” means crude petroleum, as it is produced at the wellhead, and liquids (under atmospheric conditions) that have been recovered from mixtures of hydrocarbons that existed in a vaporous phase in a reservoir and that are not natural gas products.
“Finished products” means any one or more of the following petroleum oils, or a mixture or combination of these oils, to be used without further processing except blending by mechanical means:
(A)“Asphalt” - a solid or
(B)“Fuel oil” - a liquid or liquefiable petroleum product burned for lighting or for the generation of heat or power and derived directly or indirectly from crude oil, such as kerosene, range oil, distillate fuel oils, gas oil, diesel fuel, topped crude oil, or residues.
(C)“Gasoline” - a refined petroleum distillate that, by its consumption, is suitable for use as a carburant in internal combustion engines.
(D)“Jet fuel” - a refined petroleum distillate used to fuel jet propulsion engines.
(E)“Liquefied gases” - hydrocarbon gases recovered from natural gas or produced from petroleum refining and kept under pressure to maintain a liquid state at ambient temperatures.
(F)“Lubricating oil” - a refined petroleum distillate or specially treated petroleum residue used to lessen friction between surfaces.
(G)“Naphtha” - a refined petroleum distillate falling within a distillation range overlapping the higher gasoline and the lower kerosenes.
(H)“Natural gas products” - liquids (under atmospheric conditions) including natural gasoline, that -
(1)are recovered by a process of absorption, adsorption, compression, refrigeration, cycling, or a combination of these processes, from mixtures of hydrocarbons that existed in a vaporous phase in a reservoir, and
(2)when recovered and without processing in a refinery, definitions of products contained in subdivision (B), (C), and (G) above.
(I)“Residual fuel oil” - a topped crude oil or viscous residuum that, as obtained in refining or after blending with other fuel oil, meets or is the equivalent of MILSPEC
“Unfinished oils” means one or more of the petroleum oils listed under “Finished products” above, or a mixture or combination of these oils, that are to be further processed other than by blending by mechanical means.
