SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. Purpose
The information on place of manufacture was formerly used by each
Federal agency to prepare a report to Congress required by 41 U.S.C.
8302(b)(1) for Fiscal Year 2009 through 2011 on acquisitions of
articles, materials, or supplies that are manufactured outside the
United States. However, the data is still necessary for analysis of the
application of the Buy American statue and the trade agreements and for
other reports to Congress. Additionally, contracting officers require
this data as the basis for entry into the Federal Procurement Data
System for further data on the rationale for purchasing foreign
manufactured items.
