Subject FAR case

Amendments to the FAR Buy American Act--Requirements........ 2021-008
------------------------------------------------------------------------
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
2022-05 amends the FAR as follows:
Amendments to the FAR Buy American Act Requirements (FAR Case 2021-008)
This final rule amends the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) to
implement section 8 of E.O. 14005, Ensuring the Future Is Made in All
of America by All of America's Workers. Upon the October 25, 2022,
effective date, this final FAR rule changes the domestic content
threshold to 60 percent immediately, then to 65 percent for items
delivered starting in calendar year 2024, and then to 75 percent for
items delivered starting in calendar year 2029. While a supplier that
is awarded a contract with a period of performance that spans this
schedule of domestic content threshold increases will be required to
comply with each increased threshold for the items in the year of
delivery, this rule allows for the agency senior procurement executive
to apply an alternate domestic content test under which the contractor
would be required to comply with the domestic content threshold in
place at time of award for the entire life of the contract.
This final rule also creates a fallback threshold that would allow
for products
[[Page 12799]]
and construction material meeting a 55 percent domestic content
threshold to qualify as ``domestic'' under certain circumstances.
In addition, the final rule creates a framework for application of
an enhanced price preference for a domestic product/domestic
construction material that is considered a critical item or made up of
critical components. The list of critical items and critical
components, along with the associated enhanced price preference, will
be incorporated in the FAR through separate rulemaking.
