The Buy American Act Applies to this procurement ;(BAA) (41 U.S.C. §§ 8301 8305) is the primary law addressing domestic content preferences in Federal procurement. It provides a preference for the purchase of domestic supplies (or domestic end products) and domestic construction materials. The implementing regulations for the BAA in the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) provide a two-part test for determining if an end product (that does not consist wholly or predominantly of iron or steel or a combination of both) qualifies as a domestic end product: (i) the end product must be manufactured in the U.S.; and (ii) effective October 25, 2022 more than 60 percent of the cost of its components must be mined, produced, or manufactured in the U.S.1 The domestic content threshold increased to 60 percent on October 25, 2022, further increases to 65 percent in calendar year 2024, and 75 percent in calendar year 2029. In the event no domestic products can meet the new thresholds or the cost to acquire them would be unreasonable, there is a 55 percent fallback threshold in effect from October 25, 2022 through December 31, 2029. For end products consisting wholly or predominantly of iron or steel or a combination of both, the cost of domestic components must be 95 percent to qualify as a domestic end product. 2 The FAR provides similar standards for domestic construction materials.
