Domestic Content Restrictions on Federal Procurements - Provisions & Issues
Broadly understood, domestic content restrictions are provisions which require that items purchased using specific funds appropriated by Congress be produced or manufactured in the United States. Federal law contains a number of such restrictions, each of which applies to different entities and supplies, and imposes somewhat different requirements. Some of these restrictions have, however, been waived pursuant to the Trade Agreements Act (TAA). This book discusses the provisions and issues of domestic content restrictions on federal procurements.
