Buy American Provision

Section 104(d) of the William F. Goodling Child Nutrition Reauthorization Act of 1998 requires schools participating in the National School Breakfast and Lunch Programs in the contiguous United States to purchase, to the maximum extent practicable, domestic commodities or product for use in the meals served under these programs. The legislation defines “domestic commodity or product” as one that is produced in the United States and is processed in the United States substantially using agricultural commodities that are produced in the United States.

“Substantially” means that over 51% of the final processed product consists of agricultural commodities that were grown domestically. These provisions apply to all funds in the food service account and not just federal reimbursements.

Exceptions to the Buy American provision should be used as a last resort; however, an alternative or exception may be approved upon request.

To be considered for the alternative or exception, the request must be submitted in writing to a designated official, a minimum of ___day (s) in advance of delivery. The request must include the:

a) Alternative substitute (s) that are domestic and meet the required specifications:

i) Price of the domestic food alternative substitute (s); and

ii) Availability of the domestic alternative substitute (s) in relation to the quantity ordered.

b) Reason for exception: limited/lack of availability or price (include price):

i) Price of the domestic food product; and

ii) Price of the non-domestic product that meets the required specification of the domestic product.

Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act (40 U.S.C. 3701-3708) Where applicable, all contracts awarded by the non-Federal entity in excess of $100,000 that involve the employment of mechanics or laborers must include a provision for compliance with 40 U.S.C. 3702 and 3704, as supplemented by Department of Labor regulations (29 CFR Part 5). Under 40 U.S.C. 3702 of the Act, each contractor must be required to compute the wages of every mechanic and laborer on the basis of a standard work week of 40 hours. Work in excess of the standard work week is permissible provided that the worker is compensated at a rate of not less than one and a half times the basic rate of pay for all hours worked in excess of 40 hours in the work week. The requirements of 40 U.S.C. 3704 are applicable to construction work and provide that no laborer or mechanic must be required to work in surroundings or under working conditions which are unsanitary, hazardous or dangerous. These requirements do not apply to the purchases of supplies or materials or articles ordinarily available on the open market, or contracts for transportation or transmission of intelligence.

Equal Employment Opportunity (41 CFR Part 60)

Except as otherwise provided under 41 CFR Part 60, all contracts that meet the definition of “federally assisted construction contract” in 41 CFR Part 60-1.3 must include the equal opportunity clause provided under 41 CFR 60-1.4(b), in accordance with Executive Order 11246, “Equal Employment Opportunity” (30 FR 12319, 12935, 3 CFR Part, 1964-1965 Comp.,

p. 339), as amended by Executive Order 11375, “Amending Executive Order 11246 Relating to Equal Employment Opportunity,” and implementing regulations at 41 CFR part 60, “Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs, Equal Employment Opportunity, Department of Labor.”
