Question / Response

1.

Do the requested items need to be TAA compliant?

(Revised) The Government requires the requested items to be Trade Agreement Act (TAA) compliant. However, in instances where an available item meeting the required specifications is not TAA compliant and no TAA compliant item is available, the Offeror may offer a non-TAA compliant item, but must provide confirmation that no other TAA compliant item is available. The Contracting Officer reserves the right to waive the TAA requirement if doing so is determined to be in the best interest of the Government.
