Takeaways from DoD’s proposed changes to certain sourcing restrictions

Pursuant to Sections 817 and 881(b) of the FY 2017 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), the Department of Defense (DoD) recently issued a proposed rule to amend certain sourcing restrictions found in DFARS subpart 225.70 and related clauses. 

Specifically the proposed rule would amend the DFARS to:

  • Extend the Berry Amendment’s domestic sourcing restrictions to the acquisition of certain athletic footwear for members of the Armed Forces, when the procurement is valued at or below the simplified acquisition threshold [Section 817], and
  • Recognize that Australia and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (the UK) are now members of the National Technology Industrial Base (“NTIB”), thereby permitting the United States to acquire certain items (that are subject to the sourcing restrictions in 10 U.S.C. 2534) if they are manufactured in the UK, Australia, Canada or the United States [Section 881(b)].
