To protect the U.S. industrial base, among other reasons, companies that sell goods to the U.S. government are required to comply with domestic source restrictions that dictate the percentage of domestic content and have the potential to impact design, sourcing, and manufacturing decisions. In many respects, these restrictions are out of step with the decades-long trend toward globalization of commercial supply chains.
Recent developments related to the Buy American Act continue to tighten these restrictions and have the potential to cause a further divergence between commercial and government production, reversing the push toward commercial contracting and eliminating the associated efficiencies and cost-savings to U.S. taxpayers.
Please join us for this timely webinar where the government contracts attorneys at Bass, Berry & Sims will discuss the current state of affairs, including the following:
- Overview of the Buy American Act.
- Implementation and impact of EO 13881’s changes to the Buy American Act.
- President Biden’s EO on “Ensuring the Future is Made in All of America by All of America’s Workers.”
- Takeaways for government contractors.
Please join us Wednesday, March 24 from 12:00 – 1:00 p.m. CT | 1:00 – 2:00 p.m. ET for this informative discussion. To register, please click here.
