10. QUESTION: Regarding Solicitation N00024-22-R-2270, incorporated clause 252.225-7002, which allows a Contractor to utilize a qualifying country source as a subcontractor.A qualifying country has some concern regarding the Merchant Marine Act of 1920 known as the Jones Act and deals with cabotage.Would the Jones Act be applicable to this solicitation? Would this disqualify a qualified country as a subcontractor?

ANSWER: The Jones Act requires that cabotage may only be provided in the US by US flag ships whereas the clause 252.225-7002 allows qualifying country sources to work as subcontractors. The two are not mutually exclusive. For example, a subcontractor could not transport goods between US ports on a non-US flag ship, but may perform other duties if applicable.
