Title: ●Statutory Waiver for Commercially Available Off-the-Shelf Items (DFARS Case 2008-D009) 
Abstract: Amends the Defense FAR Supplement to implement a determination made by the Administrator for Federal Procurement Policy, that the Buy American Act “component test” is inapplicable to acquisitions of commercially available off-the-shelf (COTS) items. The rule permits a COTS item to be treated as a domestic end product if it is manufactured in the United States, without tracking the origin of the item’s components.
