Waiver Rationale Summary
In acquisitions covered by the WTO GPA, the U.S. Trade Representative has waived the Buy American statute. (FAR 25.402) However, using the evaluation procedures in FAR 25.502, line item 8 and 10 received quotes for an item from a designated country, line item 12 from a desingated country. All other line items did not receive a quote for U.S.-made or designated country end products. In accordance with FAR 25.502(b)(3) we would be exercising an exception to the Buy American Act (FAR 25.103(b)(2) Nonavailability) by utilizing a foreign manufacturer, as the lowest price technically acceptable quote received is quoting a foreign manufactured [end] product.
