View Rule

DoD amended the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to implement the statutory domestic source restrictions on acquisition of certain naval vessel components. The rule revised DFARS 225.7010 to implement the domestic source restrictions in 10 U.S.C. 2534 on gyrocompasses, electronic navigation chart systems, steering controls, pumps, propulsion and machinery control systems, and totally enclosed lifeboats, to the extent they are unique to marine applications. These restrictions are currently implemented in the acquisition regulations of the Defense Logistics Agency and the Navy, the two DoD components that acquire such naval vessel components. The restrictions are now being incorporated into the DFARS because they affect more than one DoD component. DoD does not expect this rule to impact the public.
