(a) Definitions. As used in this clause—

(1) “Commercially available off-the-shelf (COTS) item”-

(i) Means any item of supply (including construction material) that is-

(A) A commercial item(as defined in paragraph (1) of the definition at FAR 2.101);

(5) "Domestic construction material" means—

(i) An unmanufactured construction material mined or produced in the United States;

(A) A construction material manufactured in the United States, if –

(B) the cost of its components mined, produced, or manufactured in the United States exceeds 50 percent of the cost of all its components. Components of foreign origin of the same class or kind for which nonavailability determinations have been made are treated as domestic; or

(C) The construction material is a COTS item.

(6) "Foreign construction material" means a construction material other than a domestic construction material.

(7) "United States" means the 50 States, the District of Columbia, and outlying areas.

(i) Domestic preference. (1) This clause implements the Buy American Act (41 U.S.C. 10a-10d) by providing a preference for domestic construction material. In accordance with 41 U.S.C. 431, the component test of the Buy American Act is waived for construction material that is a COTS item (See FAR 12.505(a)(2)). The Contractor shall use only domestic construction material in performing this contract, except as provided in paragraphs (b)(2) and (b)(3) of this clause.

(b) This requirement does not apply to information technology that is a commercial item or to the construction materials or components listed by the Government as follows: none

(c) The Contracting Officer may add other foreign construction material to the list in paragraph (b)(2) of this clause if the Government determines that

(1) The cost of domestic construction material would be unreasonable. The cost of a particular domestic construction material subject to the requirements of the Buy American Act is unreasonable when the cost of such material exceeds the cost of foreign material by more than 6 percent;

(2) The application of the restriction of the Buy American Act to a particular construction material would be impracticable or inconsistent with the public interest; or

(3) The construction material is not mined, produced, or manufactured in the United States in sufficient and reasonably available commercial quantities of a satisfactory quality.

(d) Request for determination of inapplicability of the Buy American Act. (1)(i) Any Contractor request to use foreign construction material in accordance with paragraph (b)(3) of this clause shall include adequate information for Government evaluation of the request, including—

(1) A description of the foreign and domestic construction materials;

(2) Unit of measure;

(3) Quantity;

(4) Price;

(5) Time of delivery or availability;

(6) Location of the construction project;

(7) Name and address of the proposed supplier; and

(8) A detailed justification of the reason for use of foreign construction materials cited in accordance with paragraph (b)(3) of this clause.

(e) A request based on unreasonable cost shall include a reasonable survey of the market and a completed price comparison table in the format in paragraph (d) of this clause.

(f) The price of construction material shall include all delivery costs to the construction site and any applicable duty (whether or not a duty-free certificate may be issued).

(g) Any Contractor request for a determination submitted after contract award shall explain why the

Contractor could not reasonably foresee the need for such determination and could not have requested the determination before contract award. If the Contractor does not submit a satisfactory explanation, the Contracting Officer need not make a determination.

(h) If the Government determines after contract award that an exception to the Buy American Act applies and the Contracting Officer and the Contractor negotiate adequate consideration, the Contracting Officer will modify the contract to allow use of the foreign construction material. However, when the basis for the exception is the unreasonable price of a domestic construction material, adequate consideration is not less than the differential established in paragraph (b)(3)(i) of this clause.

(i) Unless the Government determines that an exception to the Buy American Act applies, use of foreign construction material is noncompliant with the Buy American Act.

(j) Data. To permit evaluation of requests under paragraph (c) of this clause based on unreasonable cost, the Contractor shall include the following information and any applicable supporting data based on the survey of suppliers:

(k) Foreign and Domestic Construction Materials Price Comparison Construction material description Unit of measure Quantity Price (dollars) * Item 1 Foreign construction material Domestic construction material Item 2 Foreign construction material Domestic construction material

(l) [List name, address, telephone number, and contact for suppliers surveyed. Attach copy of response; if oral, attach summary.] [Include other applicable supporting information.] [*Include all delivery costs to the construction site and any applicable duty (whether or not a duty-free entry certificate is issued).] 52.225-13 Restrictions on Certain Foreign Purchases (JUN 2008) 52.227-1 Authorization and Consent (DEC 2007) 52.227-2 Notice and Assistance Regarding Patent and Copyright Infringement (DEC 2007) 52.228-2 Additional Bond Security (OCT 1997) 52.228-11 Pledges of Assets (JAN 2012) 52.228-12 Prospective Subcontractor Requests for Bonds (OCT 1995) 52.228-14 Irrevocable Letter of Credit (DEC 1999) 52.228-15 Performance and Payment Bonds – Construction (OCT 2010) 52.229-3 Federal, State, and Local Taxes (APR 2003) 52.232-5 Payments under Fixed-Price Construction Contracts (SEP 2002) 52.229-7 Taxes - Fixed-Price Contracts with Foreign Governments (FEB 2013) 52.232-17 Interest (OCT 2010)

(2) has not been convicted (or had an officer or agent acting on its behalf convicted) of a felony criminal violation under any Federal Law within 24 months preceding the award, unless a suspending and debarring official of the United States Department of Agriculture has considered suspension or debarment of the awardee, or such officer or agent, based on these convictions and/or tax delinquencies and determined that suspension or debarment is not necessary to protect the interests of the Government.

(b) If the awardee fails to comply with these provisions, the Forest Service may terminate this contract for default and may recover any funds the awardee has received in violation of sections 433 or 434.
