RULES LISTED IN FAC 2021–04 

Subject FAR case 

* Maximizing Use of AmericanMade Goods, Products and Materials ......................................... 2019–016 

ADDRESSES: The FAC, including the 

SECG, is available via the internet at 

https://www.regulations.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A 

summary for the FAR rule follows. For 

the actual revisions and/or amendments 

made by this FAR rule, refer to the 

specific subject set forth in the 

document following this summary. FAC 

2021–04 amends the FAR as follows: 

Maximizing Use of American-Made 

Goods, Products, and Materials (FAR 

Case 2019–016) 

This final rule strengthens domestic 

preferences under the Buy American 

statute by making adjustments to the 

required percentage of domestic content 

and the existing percentages for the 

price evaluation preferences in an effort 

to decrease the amount of foreignsourced content in a U.S. manufactured 

product to promote economic and 

national security, help stimulate 

economic growth, and create jobs. The 

price evaluation preferences increase 

from 6 percent to 20 percent for large 

business and from 12 percent to 30 

percent for small business; for DoD 

procurements there is no change to the 

DoD 50 percent amount. The domestic 

content requirement for iron and steel 

increases from 50 percent to 95 percent; 

for other end products and construction 

materials, the domestic content 

requirement increases from 50 percent 

to 55 percent. Foreign iron and steel is 

iron or steel products that are not 

produced in the United States. The rule 

implements E.O. 13881, Maximizing 

Use of American-Made Goods, Products, 

and Materials. This final rule will not 

have a significant economic impact on 

a substantial number of small entities.
