DOD: 70 Imported Items Could Lose Exemptions to Boost Domestic Production
DOD: 70 Imported Items Could Lose Exemptions to Boost Domestic Production
October 30, 2024/
The Department of Defense put out a proposed rule that is available for comment until 12/23/2024 amending the list of domestically nonavailable articles under Buy American. Federal contractors are often subject to Buy American rules that require a certain percentage of the materials they use be US-origin. There is a list of items that don't have domestic production, allowing the contractors to still be in compliance if they purchase those materials from foreign manufacturers. This rule is put out by DoD, the General Services Administration, and NASA. They're looking to take 70 of the 109 articles on that list off of the list, and to amend the process for putting articles on the list. They're proposing this as a "general reset" of the list as a means of encouraging market research and telling the domestic industry to start producing.
