"Component" means an article, material, or supply incorporated directly into an end product. "Domestic end product" means- (i) An unmanufactured end product that has been mined or produced in the United States; or (ii) An end product manufactured in the United States if- (A) The cost of its qualifying country components and its components that are mined, produced, or manufactured in the United States exceeds 50 percent of the cost of all its components. The cost of components includes transportation costs to the place of incorporation into the end product and U.S. duty (whether or not a duty-free entry certificate is issued). Scrap generated, collected, and prepared for processing in the United States is considered domestic. A component is considered to have been mined, produced, or manufactured in the United States (regardless of its source in fact) if the end product in which it is incorporated is manufactured in the United States and the component is of a class or kind for which the Government has determined that- (1) Sufficient and reasonably available commercial quantities of a satisfactory quality are not mined, produced, or manufactured in the United States; or (2) It is inconsistent with the public interest to apply the restrictions of the Buy American statute; or (B) The end product is a COTS item. "End product" means those articles, materials, and supplies to be acquired under this contract for public use. "Foreign end product" means an end product other than a domestic end product. "Qualifying country" means a country with a reciprocal defense procurement memorandum of understanding or international agreement with the United States in which both countries agree to remove barriers to purchases of supplies produced in the other country or services performed by sources of the other country, and the memorandum or agreement complies, where applicable, with the requirements of section 36 of the Arms Export Control Act (22 U.S.C. 2776) and with 10 U.S.C. 2457. Accordingly, the following are qualifying countries: Australia Austria Belgium Canada Czech Republic Denmark Egypt Finland France Germany Greece Israel Italy Luxembourg Netherlands Norway Poland Portugal Spain Sweden Switzerland Turkey United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. "Qualifying country component" means a component mined, produced, or manufactured in a qualifying country. "Qualifying country end product" means- (i) An unmanufactured end product mined or produced in a qualifying country; or (ii) An end product manufactured in a qualifying country if - (A) The cost of the following types of components exceeds 50 percent of the cost of all its components: (1) Components mined, produced, or manufactured in a qualifying country. (2) Components mined, produced, or manufactured in the United States. (3) Components of foreign origin of a class or kind for which the Government has determined that sufficient and reasonably available commercial quantities of a satisfactory quality are not mined, produced, or manufactured in the United States; or (B) The end product is a COTS item. "United States" means the 50 States, the District of Columbia, and outlying areas. (b) This clause implements 41 U.S.C chapter 83, Buy American. In accordance with 41 U.S.C. 1907, the component test of the Buy American statute is waived for an end product that is a COTS item (see section 12.505(a)(1) of the Federal Acquisition Regulation). Unless otherwise specified, this clause applies to all line items in the contract. (c) The Contractor shall deliver only domestic end products unless, in its offer, it specified delivery of other end products in the Buy American Balance of Payments Program Certificate provision of the solicitation. If the Contractor certified in its offer that it will deliver a qualifying country end product, the Contractor shall deliver a qualifying country end product or, at the Contractor's option, a domestic end product.
