3.6.4-17 Buy American Act and FAA Buy American Preference-USMCA Implementation Act-Balance of Payments Certificate, paragraph (a); see also 3.6.4- 5 and 3.6.4-18

"The offeror certifies that each end product or service, except as listed below, is a domestic end product or service ... and components of unknown origin are considered to have been mined, produced, or manufactured outside the United States." [Table: Excluded End Product / Country of Origin — "(list as necessary)"]

Do clauses 3.6.4-5, 3.6.4-17 and 3.6.4-18 apply to this requirement for OEM printer consumables (SIR Attachment 2 and SOW Attachment IV, 730+ items), given that Q&A #8 states TAA compliance has been waived and most OEM toner/ink is manufactured outside the United States? If they apply, is every item required to be listed in the Excluded End Product / Country of Origin table, and may an offeror enter "Unknown" for an item whose country of origin cannot be confirmed?

Confirm by amendment whether the Buy American clauses apply to consumables. If they apply, confirm that unknown-origin items may be listed as "Unknown (treated as foreign)" without making the offer non-responsive.

This is outside the Scope for Amendment 0003 Questions, however, for clarification purposes AMS Clauses 3.6.4-5, 3.6.4-17 and 3.6.4-18 do not apply and are Waived for this Solicitation as is TAA Compliance in accordance with Amendment 0003.
