SUMMARY:GOVOLOGY: Understanding the Berry Amendment\, GOVOLOGY: Buy American Act (BAA)\, Trade Agreements\, and the Nonmanufacturer Rule
DESCRIPTION:USE CODE 52VBOCR20 WHEN YOU REGISTER! \nWhether you’re new to government sales or have been selling to federal agencies and the Department of Defense for years\, the landscape is changing. For the past 60 years\, the United States has increasingly outsourced and offshored manufacturing—but that’s shifting. Today\, government statutes and regulations are moving toward rebuilding a more domestic supply chain. \nWith the rise of strategic sourcing and category management\, it’s critical to understand how the Buy American Act (BAA) and the Non-Manufacturer Rule (NMR) apply to both full and open competitions and set-aside procurements. For example\, as of October 2023\, the domestic component threshold increased to 65%. If your company has been selling to the government for years\, these updated regulations may affect your competitiveness and market share. \nREGISTER HERE
