This rule is necessary to implement Executive Order 14005, Ensuring the Future Is Made in All of America by All of America’s Workers, which increases the required percentage of domestic content for end products and construction material. Changes to the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) are being made via RIN 9000-AO22 (FAR Case 2021-008, Amendments to the FAR Buy American Act Requirements). This rule proposes conforming changes to the DFARS.

]]>

The legal basis for this rule is 41 U.S.C. 1303 and Executive Order 14005, Ensuring the Future Is Made in All of America by All of America’s Workers.

]]>

There are no alternatives that would meet the requirements of Executive Order 14005.

]]>

This rule increases the percentage for use in the domestic content text applied to offers of end products and construction materials to determine domestic or foreign origin. The rule will strengthen domestic preferences under the Buy American statute. It is expected that this rule will benefit large and small U.S. manufacturers supplying domestic end products and materials.

]]>

There is a risk that U.S. manufacturers would experience a competitive disadvantage without the increase in the required domestic content.
