The Federal Acquisition Regulation has
been revised to implement Section 837 of Division A of the
Transportation, Treasury, Housing and Urban Development, the
Judiciary, the District of Columbia, and Independent Agencies
Appropriations Act, 2006 (Pub. L. 109-115) and similar sections in
subsequent appropriations acts. Section 837 of Division A of the
Fiscal Year 2006 Consolidated Appropriations Act (Pub. L. 109-115)
requires the head of each Federal agency to submit a report to
Congress on the dollar value of acquisitions made by the agency of
articles, materials, or supplies that are manufactured outside the
United States. The law also requests an itemized list of all
waivers granted with respect to such articles, materials, or
supplies under the Buy American Act and a summary of the total
procurement funds spent on goods manufactured in the United States.
The Government will collect the necessary data regarding place of
manufacture from offerors.
