    Type:Rule
    Citation:86 FR 6194
    Reading Time:about 2 minutes

    The Department of Defense, General Services Administration, and NASA have released a Small Entity Compliance Guide summarizing a new rule from the Federal Acquisition Circular 2021-04. This rule amends the Federal Acquisition Regulation to increase the domestic content requirements and price evaluation preferences for American-made goods under the Buy American statute. The changes aim to boost economic and national security by reducing foreign content in U.S. manufactured products. Even though the rules increase the requirements, they are not expected to significantly impact a large number of small businesses.

    Simple Explanation

    The government wants more stuff made in America, so they changed some rules to make sure people buy more American-made things and use fewer parts from other countries. They don't think these changes will cause big problems for small businesses.

    Reading Time:about 3 minutes

    The Executive Order 13975, issued by the President, emphasizes the policy of buying American-made goods to support national economic goals. It encourages the United States Postal Service (USPS) to adopt similar procurement policies as those applied across other federal agencies, particularly concerning domestic content requirements and price preferences for American products. The order suggests that the USPS align its rules with the Federal Acquisition Regulation to boost the use of American-made materials in its purchases. It highlights that the order should not interfere with existing legal authorities or create new legal rights.

    Simple Explanation

    The President wants the United States Postal Service (USPS) to try and buy more things made in America, just like other government groups do, but there's no rule saying they have to do it.
