§ 1825.102 - Policy. (NASA supplements paragraphs (a) and (b))

Latest version.

(a)(3)(A) The procurement officer shall send proposed public interest determinations to the Associate Administrator for Procurement (Code HS) for approval.

(B) See 1825.103-70(A) for a blanket determination regarding Canadian end products.

(a)(4) The items listed in FAR 25.108(d)(1) are not mined, produced, or manufactured in the United States in sufficient and reasonably available commercial quantities or a satisfactory quality.

(b)(1) Contracting officers may make determinations of nonavailability both before entering into contracts and in the course of contract administration; provided, however, that in the latter case the Government receives adequate consideration. The following is the format for nonavailability determinations:

                    
                        var val = document.getElementById('citecontent').innerHTML;
                        art.dialog.defaults.title = window.location.href;
                        art.dialog.data('cite', val);
                        art.dialog.data('homeDemoPath', '/Scripts/plus/artDialog/');
                        art.dialog.open('/Scripts/plus/artDialog/citeiframe.html');
