predominantly not domestically available as shown by one

of the following:

The item is listed at FAR 25.104 (FAR 25.103(b)(1)).

The agency did an individual determination (FAR

25.103(b)(2)).

though the acquisition was synopsized and conducted

through full and open competition (FAR 25.103(b)(3)).

interest determination

The head of the agency has made a determination that

domestic preferences would be inconsistent with the public

interest (FAR 25.103(a)).

predominantly for use outside the United States (FAR

More than 50% of foreign

content, but manufactured in

United States (Actions prior

to FY 2007 only)

The action is for (i) A foreign end product that is

manufactured in the United States but still determined to be

foreign because 50 percent or more of the cost of the

components is not mined, produced, or manufactured inside

the United States or qualifying countries; or (ii) Services

performed in the United States by a foreign concern.

Not applicable The action is NOT predominantly for acquisition of

manufactured end products.

(3) Note that the first and second from the last options in the drop down box are to be used only for

reporting of contracts awarded or orders issued prior to October 1, 2006.

(4) The other options in the drop down box apply only to contracts awarded and orders issued on or

after October 1, 2006. If the solicitation for the contract contains the provision at FAR 52.225-18,

Place of Manufacture (or the commercial product equivalent at FAR 52.212-3(j)), the contracting

officer must review the successful offeror’s response to this provision to select the correct option.

(i) Enter “Mfg in U.S.” if the offeror has checked the box “In the United States.”

(ii) If the offeror has checked the box “Outside the United States,” enter one of the other options,

depending on the predominant reason for acquiring end products manufactured outside the United

States. These reasons correspond to the exceptions to the Buy American statute (FAR Subpart 25.1

and DFARS Subpart 225.1). Further explanation of these exceptions to the Buy American statute are

available at the FAR and DFARS references provided in the long description for each option.

(5) For any contract awarded on or after October 1, 2006, when the solicitation did not include the

provision at FAR 52.225-18, Place of Manufacture (or FAR 52.212-3(j)), and for any order placed on

or after October 1, 2006, under a contract that did not include one of these provisions, the

contracting officer shall use best judgment in estimating whether the acquisition is predominantly
for manufactured end products and whether the end products were predominantly end products

manufactured in the United States or outside the United States, using the place of performance or

other information that may be available to the contracting officer to assist in forming this judgment.
