Buy American Act compliance
Buy American Act compliance is generating direct friction for technology and AI vendors supplying federal agencies, with the Federal Acquisition Regulatory Council tightening domestic content thresholds under FAR Part 25 and the U.S. Department of Defense applying additional scrutiny to software and hardware sourced from non-domestic supply chains. The General Services Administration has flagged cloud and AI procurement vehicles as priority review areas under its ongoing FAR case updates. Compliance teams in this sector are currently auditing vendor contracts and country-of-origin certifications before solicitation responses go out.
Watch
- FAR Part 25 domestic content threshold increases: applies to hardware components in federal AI systems
- GSA Multiple Award Schedule IT Category: BAA compliance attestations now under tighter review
- DOD NDAA Section 5949 restrictions on semiconductor sourcing from covered foreign entities
- Proposed FAR case 2023-001: would extend Buy American rules to certain software acquisitions
