This rule will add a list of critical items and their associated enhanced price preferences to the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), which will apply to acquisitions subject to the Buy American statute. The rule will also provide further guidance to contracting officers on how to evaluate offers for critical items and provide for a post-award reporting requirement for contractors. This rule will complete the framework added to the FAR as part of the implementation of section 8 of the Executive Order titled "Ensuring the Future Is Made in All of America by All of America’s Workers.”
