This subpart contains foreign product restrictions that are based on policies designed to protect the defense industrial base.

225.7102  Forgings.

      (a)  Using simplified acquisition procedures, unless the restricted item is the end item being purchased;

 

      (b)  Overseas for overseas use; or

 

      (c)  When the quantity acquired exceeds the amount needed to maintain the U.S. defense mobilization base (provided the excess quantity is an economical purchase quantity).  The requirement for domestic manufacture does not apply to the quantity above that required to maintain the base, in which case, qualifying country sources may compete.

Upon request from a contractor, the contracting officer may waive the requirement for domestic manufacture of the items listed in 225.7102-1.

      (b)  An exception in 225.7102-2 applies.  If an exception applies to only a portion of the acquisition, specify the excepted portion in the solicitation and contract.
