Sec. 725.403  Exceptions.





    FAR 25.4 establishes procedures for purchases under the Trade 

Agreements Act of 1979 (including GATT's Agreement on Government 

Procurement) and the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). Under 

both such agreements, USAID's contracts for the purpose of providing 

foreign assistance are not subject to the procedures set forth in FAR 

25.4. In contrast, USAID's operating expense-type administrative 

purchases (i.e., purchases for the direct benefit and use of USAID) are 

subject to the procedures in FAR 25.4, unless otherwise exempted by one 

of the exemptions specified in FAR 25.4.
